A brilliant story about @rogerfederer wanting some tea at @Wimbledon, but being denied access because he did not have his membership card with him. A wonderful lesson on humility, patience and grace under surprising circumstances:
This video from a few years ago reminds me of how much of a gentleman @rogerfederer is on and off the tennis court - he demonstrated impeccable manners and patience when he was stopped by a security guard for not having his access badge

"Successful people are not gifted; they just work hard, then succeed on purpose." This quote is a reminder that success is not something that happens to us, it is something that we create through hard work and dedication. ☮️✌🏻 #SuperstarRajinikanth #Vettaiyan

People who are paranoid about the COVID vaccine need to understand that once you get the shot, you won't even FEEL the microchip.

Sodium azide is a nasty yet common chemical reagent. BUT DO NOT use metallic spatula when weighing 💥, use plastic tea spoon for instance. DO NOT use in dichloromethane 💥. Avoud any acidic media to prévention HN3 as a neurotoxic gas 💀☠. #SafetyFirst
Don't store sodium azide waste in a former diethyl ether aluminum bottle. Thankfully no one was hurt and nothing was damaged but this was quite an alarming bang. @Chemjobber
