The Periodic Table of Mugs

Another big thank-you to the ACS for my brand-new set of periodic table mugs!

This is exactly how they came to me, colors and all... Honest!
I realize I'm one of the lucky ones, and that my earlier agitation may have forced someone's hand. But I'm serious here: Keep up the program, ACS! By membership year, I'm deep into "Row 3" of the table, and I'd love to see some beautiful transition metal mugs. Wouldn't you?

  1. I think they should make them out of the relevant elements for the transition metals. Proof you're a chemist is that you know which ones not to drink from.

    1. This might be an explanation for the price of the ACS's dues. Scandium isn't cheap.

  2. Jealous also... I'm missing Lithium

    1. Lithium is the only one I have! I got it from Goodwill, and I want all the other ones. Do you have to be a member of the American Chemical Society to get them or can you buy them somewhere?

  3. I keep getting the crummy, plastic water bottles! I'm the only person I know who gets them instead of the mugs. I've even called to request getting mugs instead, and they told me it was a random selection of who gets what.
