Qtof Memes

The perfect dad doesn't exi-- wait, is that a father who named his kid "qTOF-MS"? That's peak science parenting right there! While normal parents saddle their kids with names from fantasy shows (resulting in lifelong resentment), lab nerds go straight for the quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometer. Nothing says "I have unreasonable expectations for your analytical precision" quite like naming your offspring after a machine that can detect compounds at parts-per-trillion levels. The kid probably had to learn isotope patterns before the alphabet. Bet his college application just reads "I was born to separate and identify complex molecular structures."
