[Stylist] it's elementary

[Chris Kuell]

Thanks for your kind words, Jacqie. Your experience with chemistry,
unfortunately, is a common one. Introductory chemistry can be quite dull and
boring, so much so that it's a miracle anyone goes on to further study. But
at an advanced level, chemistry gets much more relevant and interesting. My
wife, that pretty blonde, has now been teaching chemistry at Yale for 25
years, and she is constantly working to improve her courses, make them more
relatable and interesting.

And as for your Dad--I'm also quite familiar with that. Our son is a high
school English teacher, a sometimes poet, and an actor in local community
theatre. Our daughter, the girl who wasn't bnamed Molly, will graduate with
a dual master's degree in public administration and public health in May.
She has a great analytical mind, but wants to use it to improve public
policy in areas like universal health care, creating open and affirming work
places, and so on. Both of them disliked chemistry in high school.

Thanks for reading.

Chris
