Since it’s #PeriodicTableDay a reminder that when the official discovery of element 117 was announced I, for laughs, proposed it be named octarine (Oc) in honour of Sir Terry Pratchett (who had died a few months before).
The petition went viral and got over 51k signatures.
Sadly, IUPAC weren’t having it and 117 was eventually named tennessine (Ts), after Tennessee where the Oak Ridge National Laboratory is based.
Which. Fine.
It clearly wasn’t *precisely* a million-to-one chance.

It’s #NationalNachosDay! They’re often served with a smooth cheese dip—made by adding (tri)sodium citrate, or Na₃C₆H₅O₇, to cheese. It reduces the pH, makes the cheese proteins more soluble & prevents the mix separating.
Ignoring the numbers, its formula spells… 😄 #272sci
