Hahaha I actually think that's really cute.

It'd be a gunner if that was AZT.

 

[DrYoda]

A bit nerdy, but I like it.

It's not really gunner until that person starts hacking YOUR laptop to steal your notes. Pwned by pretty pink benzyl laptop.

I want to note that the groups on the laptop are not all benzyl groups. There are some cyclohexanes, cyclohexenes and cyclopentenes.

(Who's the gunner now?)

that's totally gunner if you actually know it's not AZT because you either
1) know what it is, or
2) know AZT's structure by sight

Pew Pew. Fire in the hole!

Um, yes, I want this. Link of where to buy please!

If that cover had been offered when I bought my Dell, I would have gotten it.

Don't forget the cyclopropyl groups!

You're only a gunner if you can think of mechanisms to form those structures.

 

[Chemist0157]

Well, you grab a pink marker and...

Wow I want that! Does it come with matching scrubs that I can wear everyday to pre-med classes? How about a matching surgical cap?!!!!

You're only a gunner when you know the mechanisms, and then tell other people an incorrect mechanism on purpose!

 

[Bacchus]

I try to put orgo out of my mind. It was on my field test Monday and I was like, "Crap, I don't remember any of this."

 

[iduwanna]

What does that have to do with gunners?

+1 just being smart, educated, interested in what you're learning does NOT make you a gunner. You have to actively put people down i.e. misinformation (this is where "gunning them down" fits in) to make yourself look better to be a gunner. Just performing is not the same as gunning

The title of this thread makes me want to know if there is an amateur medical school edition floating around.

Then you, my friend, are quite the gunner. There are definitely a couple of AZTs on there.

Heh, I didn't even notice that until now. Good eyes!

Not unless you can point out some nitrogens on there to me...

They haven't labeled any of the non-carbon atoms, but that doesn't mean it's not AZT. It just means it's artistic. Check out the general structure; it definitely fits. You'll also notice that all the other molecules are HIV antiretroviral drugs too. Efavirenz, lamivudine, etc.

EDIT: In fact, I just did a little research. The cover design is by Bruce Mau, and is inspired by the science behind fighting AIDS (it's one of the Dell (Product) Red designs, as you can see). Check it out.
