11:39 One of the best offers that a student can get from an experienced prof. I love that he explicitly said this. A lifechanging offer for some. Thanks John. Speechless.

37:10 “Never add water to acid” is such a lie. In HS AP Bio, I added equal parts water to 95% sulfuric acid. The room stank, but nothing happened. The rule is to never add hot water to near-BOILING concentrated acid.
