Yeah. Forgot that chemical have different structures based on where they are made, hence identifying where it came from. That comment was hilarious xD

No the structures are always the same for the same compound. The *impurities* vary according to the process and raw materials.
-
First comment was meant as sarcasm. But the impurities part is interesting to know :)
-
OK, understood. You'll also find that the stabilising additives used (esp. bases) help to establish provenance. Forgive me. It's been an unexpectedly trying morning

-
We appreciate you're expertise, knowledge and insight immensley, Clyde. All the best to you.
-
Thank you.
-
Yes ditto, it is good to hear rational details from someone who actually knows what they're talking about.

A Flannel O'Brien fan! I raise my hat to you!

I really am not going to dignify that with a response. And it's Dr Davies. He can't even get my surname right so I won't bother on the important facts.
-
You're a bit sensitive
-
Probably. I'm not used to such public attention.
-
Surely as a scientist you work on facts. Yet here you're assuming something without the facts; facts which could be obtained if the UK would send a sample to the OPCW. Why are they so reluctant to do this?
-
They aren't. Haven't you read any news at all today?

Some people glide elegantly from "It might not be Russia, let's wait for the evidence" to "It's all been made up by the government and BBC".
-
Not very elegantly. They also don't stop off at 'well, who *else* had the motive, means and opportunity' on the way.

Excellent work here. Being a physiologist, when I heard their symptoms and prolonged hospital stay I thought "irreversible acetylcholinesterase inhibition, probably", which narrows down the chemical search as well because science.
-
That's what I suspected would be the case as well. This is an unspeakable act.

It appears that you wouldn't recognise science if it hit you with a cricket bat. https://twitter.com/Sonya__Ericson/status/985268174206787584?s=19 …

I've forgotten more science than you will ever know. These are lies.

"Nerve Gaz" is a bit of a clue as to the veracity of the claims. Sonya_Ericson is probably the name of a female commander from World of Tanks. Obvious Russian bot.
-
You're right. Forget the news and focus on the delivery man/woman. That way nobody has to bother with actually thinking about the evidence.
-
So when you read "nerve gaz" did you at any point think it didn't sound right?
-
You should see my attempts to write anything in a foreign language. I have a hard enough time with English. Apparently, you're letter perfect in at least 2 languages.
