When I did NMR for the first time in grad school, I printed a copy of my first NMR spectrum, wrote "My first NMR, Michael Bono, age 26" on it in crayon, and put it on the lab fridge.

Some words from five years ago that are well worth remembering today.
"Helping someone else through difficulty is where civilization starts"
- Margaret Mead
"Helping someone else through difficulty is where civilization starts"
- Margaret Mead
![A Facebook status from a user named "Kamikaze Kelly" dated March 16, 2020 with the following text:
"Years ago, anthropologist Margaret Mead was asked by a student what she considered to be the first sign of civilization in a culture. The student expected Mead to talk about fishhooks or clay pots or grinding stones.
But no. Mead said that the first sign of civilization in an ancient culture was a femur (thighbone) that had been broken and then healed. Mead explained that in the animal kingdom, if you break your leg, you die. You cannot run from danger, get to the river for a drink or hunt for food. You are meat for prowling beasts. No animal survives a broken leg long enough for the bone to heal.
'A broken femur that has healed is evidence that someone has taken time to stay with the one who fell, has bound up the wound, has carried the person to safety and has tended the person through recovery. Helping someone else through difficulty is where civilization starts', Mead said.
We are at our best when we serve others. Be civilized."

There are some very good options, but I may have to choose Miss Indonesia for "most likely to prevail in a battle against supernatural evil"

He did clarify in April 2019 that he does not financially or ideologically support March for Life (see final tweet in the thread screenshots), so while this is something that he may have supported in the past he has since ended that support.
