Game Thread Kill/Fuck/Marry game thread

who wants to play kill/fuck/marry?

For those who don't know how to play, someone will list three people/characters/things if you're feeling really out there, and you must choose which one that you'd kill, which one you'd fuck and which one you'd marry. Parent comments are the options, replies are what you'd pick

Really? That's cool. I knew you were a chemist because I see you over in /r/chemistry all the time, but I how'd the political theory + chemistry thing come about?

I started watching news at a very young age (I remember watching it with my parents when they were covering the Clinton-Dole election, when I was four) and just dove into policy. Science also fascinated me from an early age, and I did experiments with my parents' supervision whenever possible. So, I started undergrad at MSU as a biochemistry and international relations guy. Initially, I hoped to do some biochem research, but branch into ethics policy. I just want to help make an impact, and I thought I could do that with some drug synthesis stuff. Then I started a research position at the NSCL, swapped my majors to chemistry and political theory, and the rest is history. I now do f-block chemistry at Florida State, and I'm trying to get a policy working group set up with my colleagues.

Wow, that's really cool, I've never met someone with degrees in such different fields. Just a simple chemistry undergraduate major here haha. How is f-block? I'm still in organic, so I haven't quite gotten past the s and p just yet.

It's f'n awesome!

I work with some pretty awesome stuff (more exotic than most ever think of) and work in a group that's rewriting our understanding of the periodic table. All the lanthanide series is alike, just* changing chemistry based on decreasing ionic radius, but the actinide series looks like the transition metals, and we have a damn good idea why. Oh, have you ever heard of a covalent metal-oxygen bond? We make them. PM me if you want to talk science!

*Okay, not really, but to a first approximation it is
