As I read this article I remembered a moment in high school chemistry. I was an OK chemistry student, but the class at that moment was completely disinterested in the lesson. The teacher was talking about how fats don't dissolve in water. It hit me. When I baked cookies and heated, water the butter dissolved. Why? The whole class broke out in laughter, although I was quite serious, and the teacher was relieved. I woke them up! She explained (this was almost 60 years ago) that when water is heated the molecules move more rapidly and because of that they more freely engage with fat molecules (or something like that). Here I am again, sixty years later, reading about dissolving things in water.

On a more serious note, it's a great lesson for teachers, I think. If we make something real and relevant then people will listen (are more likely to listen). I think you make stuff real in your article. Thank you for the walk down memory lane :)
