Comments on: Science = free coffee http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2008/02/22/science-free-coffee/ I am an astronomer, writer, and skeptic. I likes reality the way it is, and I aims to keep it that way. My real name is Phil Plait, and I run the Bad Astronomy blog.

Don’t be too friendly to people who pour coffee for a living." Awww. We're not so bad, and most of us are just hanging out behind the bar to pay bills so we can be your doctors and future astronomers and chemists. I'm so glad I left such an impression! I've been branched out since you met me, making molecules for everyone at our Peets, and for my family. (My boyfriend's mother loves her seratonin) Yeah, sorry guys, my phone number goes out only to friends now, I am spoken for and yes, we met through an argument in a science class which we carried on out the door and throughout the past three years. Thanks for the tip o' hat, I'll see you next time you're in. “# Hoonseron 22 Feb 2008 at 8:29 am

He was wearing the thinkgeek caffeine molecule T-shirt, and a checkout girl at the local supermarket started chatting to him about it after she recognised it. Friend of mine had this in the opposite.

There was an article about the creator of the jewelry - Raven Hanna, who has a PhD in molecular biophysics - in one of my wife's ACS journals a few years ago. Which I stole so she wouldn't see the article, and so I could buy her a serotonin necklace. ACS article is here: pubs.acs.org/cen/science/84/8429sci2.html The madewithmolecules stuff is great.

Edmund Scientific (one of my favorite catalogs) had mobiles of various 'drugs' - as I recall, THC (active ingredient in marijuana), Mescaline and (IIRC) LSD. Did not get them, they were later dropped. Imagine finding those around! J/P=? Finally remembered what this reminded me of:
