it seemed like a good idea at the time...
Ask me anything   Finally entering this thing called the "real world" with a job in the area of teaching and technology. These are the random musings of my day, a depository of sources for my interests in science/edtech/science education/cats/stuff and a little bit of internet humor. I alternate experiments in healthy living with trips to jack in the box.

Shychemist: When people find out I'm in a chemistry program →

shychemist:

Nine times out of ten, this is how the conversation goes:

Either:

1. ”So, are you going to make drugs?”

or

2. ”So, can you make me drugs?”

or

3. “You’re going to be like breaking bad, right?”

And then:

“So why are you doing chemistry?”

My face: :|

I have seriously had this conversation with 5 different people. If this conversation doesn’t go on, I just get “Oh, that’s interesting.” and then silence.

I think I need a t-shirt that says, “yes I am a chemist, and no I will not make you drugs”.

i will also not make you a bomb. kthx
