Something a little different for this pre-holiday weekend, as we roll towards the end of the year. I did this as part of my MSc thesis, to add a little variety to my hobby of "staring at molecules." #compchem Code is on GitHub at: github.com/amacbride/sk... Enjoy! Have a great holiday.

Seems about right: science, politics, geekery, and some eye candy! 😁

1,4-dioxin — so simple, but with such complicated consequences. As a kid, I read an account of the Seveso disaster (1976), and it has always stayed with me throughout many decades of organic chemistry.
