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!

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

Let's look at the DATA! Not opinion, ideology, or politics. DATA and science. Climate change is not a hoax and the impacts are dire, costly and increasing. We have solutions to stem rising temperatures. We need investment, science-based policies and action 🧪🌎
