What valuable possessions should you keep safe?
Where do you keep your most valuable possessions? Not your necktie or a pair of socks, but things you wouldn't want to replace or maybe couldn't. Heirlooms from your parents, your birth certificate, your firearms, your grandfather's shotgun. Where do you store those? Under the bed? The back of a closet? No, that's unwise and maybe unsafe. Liberty Safe is the place to store them. I would know. I have a colonial safe from Liberty Safe. It's in my garage. It's the best. I keep everything in there. It's a ProFlex system. It allows you to design the inside of your safe in a way that works for you. It's not a fixed setup. Someone else puts the shelves in and you have to deal with it. You make it the way you want it.
Have a stock of rifles? You can make room. Need more shelves for handguns, for documents, for valuables, for gold? You can do whatever you want. You can refigure your safe in minutes. Maximum flexibility, maximum convenience. Liberty Safe is America's number one safe company made in the United States. Great people. I know them. Visit LibertySafe.com.

We definitely, plus they're good looking, I will say. You are a professor at Rice in Houston. What do you teach there? Tell us about your specialty, your work, your professional work.
I'm an organic chemist. I teach organic chemistry, but I also do nanotechnology. So I have appointments in chemistry, as well as in material science and nanoengineering, as well as in computer science. And so I will teach at the interface of all of these. And that's what I do. I teach and I do a lot of research. I have a big research group there. And We work in the area of nanotechnology across from pharmaceuticals. I've started several pharmaceutical companies, several materials companies, several electronics companies. We have new AI computing slash memory chips we've made and other memory on the market through companies we've started. So that's what we do. We generate new things and publish papers, produce PhD students, and start companies.
So you're actively, now you're actively involved in scientific research. I'm actively... Involved in scientific research, not just teaching.
Yes, yeah, that's what I do. Most of my day is scientific research. I only lecture two and a half hours a week, something like that, and the rest of my time is on the research side.
I should say for people who aren't grounded in this, you're well, and I know that you won't say it, but you're well known in your field. And I'm saying that because you also speak openly and have your entire career, I think, about Jesus and God and the fact that you are a believing Christian. that would seem to be like an internal conflict. You don't hear that. And to the extent you do, you hear that scientists, of course, can't be believing Christians because that's a conflict with science.
Yeah, I've heard that before. I've never felt the conflict. Actually, my science makes me believe all the more. Because when I see things, I understand it, and it is amazing. I mean, we've got this wooden table here, and I know why this has the properties that it does. I mean, when you have a tree, you can run a car. right into the tree and the car's destroyed and the tree just stays there just fine. I mean, why is that? I know why this has the properties that it has because it has these carbohydrates, these polysaccharide strands that are held together by these hydrogen bonds and they will give a little bit. And so you have this amazing impact strength on a piece of wood. I mean, the common man on the street doesn't know that and I know that.
And I'm like, God, you're amazing. This is just what an amazing piece of construction. I mean, you take a piece of plastic. I mean, after five years, the thing's starting to decompose, certainly after 10. And you can go around the world and you can see thousand-year-old structures made out of wood.
What is Dr. Tour's background and expertise?
And the wood is still there.
