Mad Scientist of the Year Award #1
This is the first official poll to determine who will receive one of four Mad Scientist of 2016 awards. Please vote for the person you think most
deserves an award. After 5 days, this poll will be closed and a new one will be opened to determine the second place winner from the remaining
nominees. The winner will be sent one of aga's trophies. The list of nominated members are people who have been nominated by others in the thread that I linked.
If you have been nominated, please do not vote for yourself.
Here is why everyone was nominated:
arkoma (nominated by crystal grower) for his determination to experiment and provide good documentation of results even when he is
not successful, as well as his generosity
Ashot (nominated by crystal grower) for the smooth YouTube videos on his budding channel
ave369 (nominated by zts16) for her resourcefulness and collection of threads on purifying and using OTC reagents with limited
resources
blogfast25 (nominated by aga) for being a great teacher of mathematics and theoretical chemistry with threads such as the QM and
calculus lessons, and the noob competition
crystal grower (nominated by j_sum1) also for many contributions to the Pretty Pictures thread and other crystal related threads
Dan Vizine (nominated by phlogiston) for his monumental thread on the isolation of elemental thorium
Dmishin (nominated by crystal grower) for sharing pictures of their crystal collection in the Pretty Pictures Thread
Dwarvensilver (nominated by crystal grower) also for sharing pictures of their crystal collection in the Pretty Pictures Thread
Fidelmios (nominated by crystal grower) for his budding YouTube channel
Hegi (nominated by j_sum1) for his many beautiful contributions to the Pretty Pictures thread
j_sum1 (nominated by Fidelmios) for his general helpfulness, especially to beginners
m1tanker78 (nominated by aga) for his contributions to the Raman spectroscopy thread
Mabus (nominated by crystal grower) for being the most prolific contributor to the Sciencemadness Wiki, adding to it nearly every day
since it was founded
Magpie (nominated by aga) for his plethora of organic synthesis writeupes, such as the preparation of congo red
MrHomeScientist (nominated by j_sum1) for his newly revitalized YouTube channel
tvaettbjoern (nominated by aga) for his contributions to the Raman spectroscopy thread
woelen (nominated by arkoma) for his consistent valuable contributions and wonderful website
zts16 (nominated by j_sum1) for his moderation efforts and regular contributions to discussions despite limited lab access
If you feel more needs to be said about any of the nominees or you want to link to specific threads, feel free to do so.

Anakin turned to the Dark Side.
For that crime, he may only ever see the Back of the trophy.

I confess that most of the nominees are new to me. While one can't go wrong with voting for any of the nominated established members -- all contribute
valuable content -- I'd hate to overlook some of the newer members' contributions.
It's really tough to pick!
