Secrets about Uranium-238
by Dan Hedges

    This is a one-sentence piece that i just love to read and reread and listen to the sound and the beat in my head. Uranium-238–it’s an unlikely topic but apparently there’s a poetic radioactivity we didn’t know about until now.

    I especially noted the tri-syllable words that cause chemists to do it on the table periodically: ‘discussing’, ‘bravado’, ‘electron’, ‘mastery’,
    ‘sacrosanct’, and ‘aesthetics’. Thx for sharing!
