She took a exchange scholarship some years ago
at Rudolf Zahradníček[1], that time the professor of quantum chemistry 
at Charles University of Prague, later the head of the Czech Academy of 
Science 1993-2001.

Even as the prime minister,
Angela has taken an unofficial short visit at him recently,
during his birthday celebration. When interviewed,
Rudolf was speaking about her as very pleasant and smart woman.

No.  I have advanced levels in physics, mathematics, and computer science from Cambridge.  I have some sympathy for Trump, because I too have an MBA.

But Trump has shown by his comments that he is scientifically illiterate.

No.  I have a B.S. Computer Engineering from University of Arizona, although I did take one graduate course.

I am not a scientist, but I wouldn't mind having a scientist as president.  I believe that India's past president was a scientist.  As an atheist I would love to see more atheists in government.

trump is 300% smarter/sharper than Hillary, but a loose cannon, talks at 
a 5th grade level, and Hillary is 50% alzhimer.

Sure Rolf, all you lefties were sure Hillary would soon bring the 
"revolution" and a soviet America. But now you are all rejecting the 
election results just like you said Trump was going to do but didn't.

You Proggie Democrats have not been so depressed since the Republicans 
took away all your slaves.
