Feedback is right. I was cut to the quick by the slogan “Chemistry: nobody
will steal your books”, proposed as a slogan to attract more chemistry students
into university (29 November). I’m a female chemist working on an Open
University preparatory course and was extremely upset when the bag with my
textbooks, notebooks and nearly completed assignment was stolen from my car a
month ago.
If any New Scientist reader in the Slough/Maidenhead area has found
these books, please hand them in to the police so I can finish my work.
Meanwhile, I think a great way to get more chemistry students is to use the
slogan, “Chemistry: even thieves will want your books”.
