Carmen rules! She cited us on the C&ENews blog after the Nobel in Chemistry for ribosome structure and function; we defended the prize as being true chemistry by saying, "If I see electrons being pushed around, it's chemistry."
It was great to finally meet her - she did some excellent bench science for her PhD, is a great writer, and a really cool person.

I totally agree. I was hugely impressed - and it's hard to do that in this kind of super-smart crowd.
