Finally, it returns. Last month, I asked you all to come up with new words for the ridiculous acronym STEM, considering that, in my opinion, it confuses the issue and engenders bad thinking. Lots of you entered, and I promised that the winner would get "a certificate, a handwritten thank you note, a box of the finest Chemjobber business cards and a bag of hard candies". Well, it's time to vote. Here are the nominees that I chose:
Voting will end April 4 at midnight, Eastern time.
May the best alternative slogan win!
The Iron Chemist: "Salaries Terrible, Employment Mediocre"The entry with the most votes (counting Twitter, e-mail and comments on this post) will be declared the winner. If you think that another nominee is better, you can write in votes (for previous entries only).
