Just watched 'The Man In The White Suit'. If you've never heard Joan Greenwood's voice, you will not truly understand what I mean when I say:
Joan Greenwood.
Talking about polymer chemistry.
Talking real polymer chemistry. Not 'reverse the polarity' technobabble, but stuff a real scientist MIGHT ACTUALLY HAVE SAID about increasing polymer length and cross-linking to strengthen a material, and giving the surface a static charge to repel dirt. I think there was also something in there about using isotopic labelling to test for stereoinversion, but I didn't quite catch it.
Is it warm in here, or is it just me?
Exercise: 25km, total 615km/369mi: 9th day from Weathertop. The pesky hobbits are slowing down due to bad terrain, but the elliptical trainer is the same as ever.
