What's So Funny About Chemistry...
In a super-serious field like chemistry, I sometimes get inspiration from artists who can inject some humor while still seeming sophisticated. Matthew Diffee is one such artist who is a regular cartoonist for The New Yorker and The Texas Monthly. Besides being a talented individual, he is a down to earth Tex-Yorker-Braugh (now in LA) with a convivial curiosity.
Taking inspiration, I thought to try a hand at this as a break from exam week. Feel free to roll your eyes or groan. Once the illness has passed, we'll return to our normal operations.
