Ytterbium used in synthesis
First time I have seen it used:
PS: From wiki the reason its used is: Lanthanide triflates are triflate salts of the lanthanide family with many uses in organic chemistry as Lewis
acid catalysts. The catalysts act similarly to aluminium chloride or ferric chloride, but are stable in water, which makes it possible to use water as
a solvent instead of organic solvents.

Be aware of demagoguery, keep your frontal lobes fully engaged.
I don't know who invented mRNA vaccines but they should get a fancy medal and I hope they made a shed load of money from it.
