      As Faraday once said, great science communication sometimes involves
      palming people off with a Wikipedia article when you’re in over your head
      and just can’t be arsed.

          It took me half a cup of coffee to notice the “Faraday” part of the quote =)

          And, before correcting, I mistyped “half” as “have” and “coffee” as “comment”. (Have a cup of comment!) My brain is nonexistent.

          ‘Have a cup of comment’? There’s some deep wisdom there, Eva.
