Check back later. You may see your name! And maybe some histories (from my perspective).
I cannot have merely professional encounters to be successful in my professional career, therefore, some people listed here might not have helped me with my work related to chemistry, but the emotional support and the nuance help that I received is extremely valuable. Every little bit counts.
Like if I want to cross the desert, I need WATER & food for sure, but I also need encouragement along the way. In this list is my WATER & food, and my encouragements.
This list will eventually be sorted in another way, but for now, it will be in a random order.
