Somewhere between high school and college someone a received a book in the mail: Mormon Scientist by Henry J. Eyring. The strange part was that I hadn't ordered or paid for this book. It simply came with a note that said, "Thought that you might enjoy this book. -Deseret Book" The book is about President Eyring's dad, Henry Eyring, who was a world-class chemist. (There's a lot of Henry's to keep track of.) I mean, this guy talked to scientists like Einstein and Heisenburg.
I reread this book over the weekend and realized how much the example of Henry Eyring as a scientist and as a Mormon has helped me so far in my chemistry career. Therefore, I wanted to thank whoever it was that sent me this influential book, whether it was Deseret Book or someone who wanted to remain anonymous. It's meant a lot to me to have an example to look up to.
