Excited to be included in this weeks @cenmag Newscripts!

"Owain Beynon has broken more than scientific ground with his chemistry PhD. He is the first person in Cardiff University’s 140-year history to write a dissertation in Welsh—it could even be the first PhD in chemistry ever completed in Welsh, Beynon tells Newscripts."

Oh, NEAT!

This was a fun one! Very classic Newscripts.

A friend and I have been texting each other pretty much every morning with our multiplet.app daily puzzle times for a couple months now so I am super curious how the #chemsky #chemchat community will find it!
