"Astounded," "blown away," "astonished." Has there been another recent example in #chemistry of people going so nuts about a new advance? http://www.sciencemag.org/news/2018/10/new-day-chemistry-molecular-ct-scan-could-dramatically-speed-drug-discovery … Independent reports by European team and @TheNelsonLab @gonenlab @thestoltzgroup
The serendipity/adjacent-field here sounds interesting. 'This technique works really well on my kind of chemicals.' [moves to another field] 'Does it work on any others, like ours?' 'Dunno. Let's try it?' [NARRATOR: 'The short answer is it did.']
