1. HELPING CHEMISTS FIND JOBS IN A TOUGH MARKET. 2. TOWARDS A QUANTITATIVE UNDERSTANDING OF THE QUALITY OF THE CHEMISTRY JOB MARKET.
What's the job market like for chemists? Dude -- it's always bad.*
How bad is it? How the heck should I know? Quantifying the chemistry job market is what this blog is about. That, and helping chemists find jobs.

ReplyDeleteIt's the official font of chemical bogosity.
DeleteWe once bought a chemical packed somewhere in Europe and I kid you not CoA was signed by Dr. Van Look.
ReplyDeleteReminds me when I would get bottles of tetracene from TCI, they would always claim >95% purity, but by NMR I could clearly see 15-20% 5,12-dihydrotetracene. Thankfully you could wash it out with acetone, but still...
ReplyDeleteTCI can be cavalier with their purity specs. I had bought (if I remember correctly) n-dodecyloxirane 98%+ from them that had actualy >10% of assorted isomers. Looks like their alpha olefin from which they made the stuff had some little branches in it - which they must have known full well but did not bother to disclose it to the customers
Deletehaha this is hilarious.
