Helium - Advice from a Chemistry Guru

Finding Your Voice
Have you ever felt you just couldn't raise your voice loud enough and that no one was listening? Yah, me too. As believer in fusion energy, believe me - I've been there. I've even felt at times that I've lost my voice. Then one day, I saw a gentleman sitting in a rocking chair talking to a young child holding a Balloon - giving her advice that could ring down through the ages. In that moment I suddenly realized the tremendous wisdom in his words.
It's been a somber week. What made this friday extra special for a shy nerd like me, was a pool party invite and a surprise coffee mug I just got in the mail today. I snapped a digital photo of it above. I really have to thank the American Chemical Society (ACS ) outreach team for such a thoughtful gift to all ACS members :-) Maybe it's just my wild chemistry imagination again, but words can't describe what it felt like when I read the back side of the cup, particularly since Helium (element symbol: He) was first discovered by Sir William Ramsay, in 1895 !
