Now you get to correct people that talk to you when they forget to call you doctor!

Oh how I hate people that do that.

Congrats!
At least your PhD is in science!

There is nothing I hate more than a PhD who puts it in their title and it is in economics, literature or some crap like that.

I'd tell you, but it wouldn't make any sense. Ah fuckit. Copper mediated coupling of vinyl boronate esters with allylic and aliphatic alcohols, and the synthesis of fdg-bapta-am

I had to look that up...

I now see why your shortened it :biggrin:

Fluoro-2-Deoxyglucose? (there are a lot of FDG's)
1,2-Bis(2-aminophenoxy)ethane-N,N,N′,N′-tetraacetic acid tetrakis(acetoxymethyl ester)
