Posts are my thoughts, which means at least half of them are about The Boss.
Ph.D. Candidate at UW-Madison studying topological photonics
I’m essentially a physicist with the fun and charisma of a chemist. And an ego obviously of a physicist.

I’ve had some skate that I wouldn’t describe in such strong terms but definitely helps me understand that description of fermented shark

Based on David Brooks’ outfit and some other images of attendees at that event, I think the pictures are from the TED 2011 conference. Not a single one features both Epstein and Brooks, which kinda seems like the bare minimum requirement for controversy at a third-party event

Yeah, the unclear meaning of “positional isomer” for designer drugs probably wouldn’t be an issue here if the law was less ambiguous about which subsection(s) it applies to. The case is really more about legal rather than chemical hair-splitting.

I’m always reminded of this:
“There’s no easy way around it. We’re just going to have to science the heck out of this case.And when we’re done with that, we’re going to have to law the heck out of it”
