As an educator-cum-public speaker, I am the son of a chemist who introduced me to the periodic table by reading from "Chimica in Versi" ("Chemistry in Verse"), a rendition of the chemical elements set to poetry in Italian. I share Alda's passion for promoting science in all its wondrous and whimsical ways.
