Iron! It has changed history, it's in the objects we use, and it carries oxygen throughout our body. It's pretty dang cool.

What a weird question but here I come: Carbon. Its capacity to form compounds of great complexity is infinite.

That would have to be strontium. Why... I don't even have a logical reason. I just really like the way it sounds, quite euphonic.

In my case it is (C), because it is everywhere, for me as an atheist, it is the definition of God.

Gallium! It's such a bizarre element and I've always been fascinated by the fact that it just melts in your hand

Need career advice. Trying to break into a finance role, preferably an Analsyt role but I have no transferable experience.

I know I can essentially get any sales job I want in finance IE: financial advisor etc. but don’t want to be stuck in sales forever. Any advice?

Need help settling a debate with my friend. She thinks I will have an easier time getting research grants because I'm male.

Which one of us is more right than the other? I'm interested in getting as many viewpoints as possible, whether or not they agree with me or with her. Thanks!!!
