I have a degree in chemistry and I used to work as a chemist for the federal government for a number of years. I’m full-nerd myself.

I’m impressed (and a little jealous!)

When I was a kid, my parents used to tell me not to make fun of nerds because one day you’re going to work for one! Well, they were right (and I’m a pretty nerdy guy myself).
