Some facts that make them stand out:

Since DNA is the centerpiece of life, Ciro Santilli is extremely excited about DNA-related technologies, see also: molecular biology technologies.

Since a matrix $M$ can be seen as a linear map $f_M(\vec{x})$, the product of two matrices $MN$ can be seen as the composition of two linear maps:One cool thing about linear functions is that we can easily pre-calculate this product only once to obtain a new matrix, and so we don't have to do both multiplications separately each time.

The BBC 1979-1982 adaptations of John Le Carré's novels are the best miniseries ever made:They are the most realistic depiction of spycraft ever made.
