This is 11-year-old Daniel Liu. And this is the organic chemistry class at the University of Toledo in Ohio.

he said if we have questions to just email him No, he’s not just sitting in campus waiting for his older brother. The kid is actually enrolled in the college class, and he’s pretty darn smart.
His new classmate, 19-year-old math and pre-med student, Cigdem Kahyaoglu, posted a photo of Daniel on her Twitter, which has since gone massively viral. She shared:
“This kid is 11 and in my organic chemistry class… He said if we have questions to just email him.”
Daniel started high school last year when he was only 10 years old, but takes some classes at the university at the same time. He may be “Twitter famous” now, but this whiz is no stranger to the limelight.
In 2015, Daniel beat out more than 30,000 other students to win the Chemical Educational Foundation’s “You Be the Chemist” challenge (the youngest ever to do so). He earned a sweet $10,000 check for it, which he collected at the White House from none other than Barack Obama himself.

We know you’re probably questioning all your life decisions up to this point. Like, what if you had taken that advanced maths summer class, or went to space camp instead?
@A1Amaris @cigdemk14 @PrisciPlacencia @smeai1 @YeahYoss I'm just gonna reevaluate my whole life

Others are expecting even greater things from this kid.
@cigdemk14 please come back to this tweet in a few years when this kid is doing huge things with his life, please

@cigdemk14 we just had an assembly at our school and he stood in front of everyone & was recognized for being twitter famous
— Julie Anne (@juliehoeflinger) August 23, 2016
And he’s so cool about all this attention. Probably because he’s so used to it already.
@paulylola @cigdemk14 we knew him when he was just a lil bottle of ketchup taking algebra pic.twitter.com/EC8ZJecILs

Can someone PLEASE tell me he has a third nipple or something so I can feel better about myself? Tryin’ to hate on the guy, but it’s not working — the little twerp is too darn cute.
