Ps: I'll write some proper blog entries again soon, I promise!

Supernova Condensate is a blog about our place in the Universe; astronomy, chemistry and life in the great bubble of academia.

Invader Xan is a proto-astrochemist, trying to figure out how to be a scientist. He looks for molecules in space and studies the sciences of all things very big and very small.
He also finds it a bit weird talking about himself in the third person.
"When I am working on a problem I never think about beauty. I only think about how to solve the problem. But when I have finished, if the solution is not beautiful, I know it is wrong."
-- R Buckminster Fuller

I've always loved this speech...
