Robert Northup

everyone has a right to an opinion
and IMO eminent scientists should especially have them

It's a new year, and rather than pull out, I dove back in deeper than ever. It's not just about science anymore, because all the science in the world is useless without a social, political, economic, and historical context. I don't know if I'll be getting any hate mail for this, or if will somehow come back to haunt me in my professional life. Somehow, it feels right.

Greetings to all!

I have enjoyed posting on this website, but I have become concerned that it is not in my best interest to continue to do so. I fear that I will eventually be baited into saying something that could later be used to embarrass me, as I do not keep my identity secret.

If anyone wishes to communicate with me, I invite you to write me at: robertnorthup@hotmail.com

If anyone is curious about the “avitar” picture shown by my name, it is “The Cyclical Continuum of Elemental Properties”. This spiral version of the Periodic Table is a teaching tool I developed for introductory chemistry. It is available from VWR, Sargent Welch, or Science Kit.

Best of luck to all!
