One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Helped confirm that a 1992 theory on the partitioning of semi-volatile products from the oxidation of emissions from pine trees in dusty or polluted conditions applies under a larger set of conditions than had previously been known.

That may not sound like much, but I was psyched.

Teach, Learn, Share

What does that even mean? It's just three words.
