Hello Steven I am a retired Chemistry Teacher. At this time I volunteer as a Docent at the local Museum. Your article was an eye opener; it will help me explain to young visitors the meaning of shapes and Patterns in some of the exhibited works. It is interesting to note that the hexagon shape is found in nature and not many know about it- it is part of beehives, and also the scaffold of many bio- molecules like cholesterol, or testosterone... Thanks for the wonderful article
