Desperately Seeking Experts…

Yotam (Chemistry Degree!) Brooke (PhD and stuff!)

Science is the belief in

the ignorance of experts.

–Richard Feynman

Gilbert N. Lewis

(my hero)

I can think of nothing that

an audience won’t

understand. The only

problem is to interest

them; once they are

interested, they

understand anything in

the world. –Orson Welles
