Last night I opened my thermodynamics lectures with #UCLChem001x by holding up a spud and saying "Behold the potato. 400 g of sunbeams that I can hold in my hands."
To my astonishment 300 mobile phones came out and there was laughter - little had I realised that, as luck would have it, I had held up the potato such that, on the screen, I had been transformed into Prof Potatohead.
Something tells me that they won't forget the moment. #teaching
(and if someone sees the picture, post it here)
