mercury drops and polka dots

mercury drops and polka dots
these are representative of the lows and highs of my lab these days

i'm learning that there is no use crying over mercury spills
(due to thermometer breakage),
although it seems there is use spending big bucks to buy expensive alternatives.
the silver little droplets splayed across the lab floor are shiny and fascinating,
but chasing them around to sweep up tis not so fun

so exciting to see visible polka dots appear on my substrate
nanoparticles assembled on "invisible" chemical spots on the substrate
i may have squealed when i saw them and for sure have showed them off
proof of concept experiment yielding results tis quite fun
