Readers, what is best in chemistry?

Mongol Professor: Hao! Dai ye! We published again! This is good, but what is best in chemistry?
Chemjobber: Dump-and-stir, quantitative yield, no column chromatography... and the rumble of your hood.
Mongol Professor: Wrong! Readers! What is best in chemistry?

(Apologies to John Milius, among others.)

Have a great (long) weekend! 

(More coming, likely.)

    Crush Synthesis, see it published before you, and hear the lamentations of your rival's grad students.

      "Baran" is probably a better mondegreen for "Conan" (not to mention the fit of Baran as the grad student and KC as the mongol professor)...c'est la vie

    Get funding, reduce the overhead chargeback, hear the lamentation of the multitudinous now-unemployed administrative levels.
