If there are any chemists here you probbably heard of Bob Grubbs recently. He has won the Nobel prize in Chemistry this year shared with two other professors due to their work on metathesis methods on some organic compounds. What you probbably havent heard is that he was a visiting lecturer in my uni. and gave a public lecture today. I attended that lecture due to the friendly reminder from our chemistry lecturer, honestly i had no idea what he was talking about after the first 5 minutes where he explained some basic chemistry stuff (cataylts are used to reduce activation energies hahaha) but that was understoof as alot of academics where in that lecture. The only reason i went is in order to be able to say i saw a nobel prize winner, even from across a lecture hall!
Too bad the picutre i took with my phone camera came out blurry.

What i hope is one day from now i can look back at this and laugh at my younger self for not understanding those "basic" chemistry stuff. Just like my chemistry lab superviser told me after the lecture where in her time she ran over Watson and Creek ( I wonder whether those two always hanged as a pair or what) who contributed to DNA structure or something and at that time she was a 19 year old who knew nothing but now she's quite knowledgeful... i guess everyone will get that after .. what 40 years? hahaha.
anyway it was a cool experience!
