I've really enjoyed all the chemistry favorites lists -- they've all been wonderful. However, no one has gone to the lengths of Chemjobber reader Leo, who submits the following musical version:
MY FAVOURITE CHEMISTRY THINGS (by Leo M.)
Easy quick workups and a column that cleanses
The smell of ether and a product that fluoresces
Brown Aldrich packages the courier brings
These are a few of my favourite things.
White powdery solids and high yields and ee's
Ground glass and valves brass and multiple degrees
Sealed vacuum chambers with rubber o-rings
These are a few of my favourite things.
Low-boiling solvents that leave with no traces
Girls in white lab coats and Erlenmeyer vases
Clean NMRs on a Friday in spring
These are a few of my favourite things.
When the flask breaks
When my hand stings
When I'm still a grad
I simply remember my favourite things,
And then I don't feel so bad.
Count me impressed. (Good luck with the thesis, Leo.)
