@Maenad I suppose I have a bit of cultural programming to rewrite. You do get the occasional storied partnership between two men but almost never in the sciences (apropos of nothing, Diels and Alder apparently hated each other).

I have never and at this rate probably will never have a job as a scientist, so I can still afford to treat it as a passion. It's the only thing that's gotten me through some days, that way
