sv 1 October 2022 Dino Viscovi w:Smålandsposten Viktigt, roligt men slitigt bakom kulisserna Important, Fun but Exhausting Behind the Scenes Under 2022 har jag fått flera invitationer från en tidskrift i kemi. Men där begränsar sig mina kunskaper till förkortningen SIV som betyder syra i vatten. Poäng för det, magistern? In 2022, I received several invitations from a chemistry journal. However, my knowledge is limited to the abbreviation SIV, which means "acid in water." Points for that, teacher?
