Not the classiest shot, but apart from the roast duck, everything else on the plate (including the plums for the plum sauce) is from the allotment!

I'm sorry I said your poem about the little hedgehog was predictable and that the rhyme wasn't really working properly.

I often say to undergraduates if you can’t decide what you want to do after graduation make a list of things you actively want to avoid in your career.

The thing at the top of my list back then is what I have been lumped with for the last three years. So much for being congruent!

I guess my point is the 'Murai reaction' was actually published nearly a decade earlier by Lewis. Same metal, same mechanistic concept, same class of products. Murai did beautiful stuff, but he didn't set the precedent

Another perplexing bird thought: why is the cirl in cirl bunting pronounced ‘cirl’ and not ‘cirl’? Someone needs to answer these questions!

Tbf I’m on kind of a one person mission to get it known as Lewis chemistry- I loved that JACS paper!

That what happen when the precedent doesn’t get cited 😉

That and his work, while lovely, post-dated that of Larry Lewis (uncited) that was published earlier in an obscure journal called something like JACS

Murai didn’t cite Larry Lewis who published the original though. Just saying.

Am I the only one surprised that BH animation hasn’t been given the nod yet? It is actually useful and used.
