Some days feel like an episode of the Twilight Zone…

Most days as a chemist are completely normal. You arrive at work, check email, go into the lab, get some writing done and go home. Perhaps there are some surprises, but mostly nothing you can’t handle. Yet on some days it all goes wrong: a series of small, seemingly insignificant events that combine into impenetrable mystery. Today is one such day. You’ve just crossed over into The Twilight Lab.
