Totally Free Chemistry Lesson

Follow +RealScientists Admin because every week they present world class minds that will be like HOWDY PARTNER even to people who play writing Sci Fi on the internet like myself The Nataraj Mundunga. I've been enjoying this weeks presentation when a series of tweets went by that made me go HEY! I might want to understand that so purely for my own and anybody else's I guess edification i'm blogging them up.
