I've been thinking about what a cross between "The Onion" and "Quanta" would look like. It could be called "The Mustard Watch". Here are some possible article titles:

Cambridge family discovers proof of Riemann hypothesis in child's finger paintings

Finite geometry proves that universe began last Thursday

How the math of Tic-Tac-Toe solved chemistry forever

This is a pretty sophisticated untangling of an unexpected mechanism. Fun to think about how it was figured out and all the confusion along the way #chemsitry #polymers

#OTD in 2000 Dr Florence Bell died.*

She was a pioneer in DNA research. In 1938 she described the periodic nature of #DNA nucleotides as being like a 'pile of pennies'.

Her work paved the way for that of Franklin, Gosling and Wilkins.

Spectroscopy is the study of how matter interacts with visible light and other electromagnetic radiation, from gamma rays to microwaves and everything in between. These techniques are usually non-destructive, so the sample of our compound won't be changed after the analysis.
