Though their fields of study might take them to different corners of the world, they can all agree on this universal truth: when it comes to love and science, opposites attract and rivals make you burn… ❖ UNDER ONE ROOF ❖ A scientist should never cohabitate with her annoyingly hot nemesis—it leads to combustion.
