A list of small, useful things (links):
- A very nice blogpost by Roman Valiulin over at PerkinElmer Informatic's site on how he makes his infographics.
- Also, a review of ChemDraw 17 by Martin Stoermer.
- The latest metathesis literature roundup from All Things Metathesis (by Adam Johns)
- Good post by Kat Day on alternative medicine's misuse of hydrogen peroxide
- A University of Washington postdoc at Science on his push for a postdoc union
- Ash gets poetic
- Ash on cryo-EM
- This book by Mark Lorch and company (including Andy Brunning!) on the science of superheroes looks quite good.
- Fun post at Science Shenanigans about chemists immortalized in equipment.
- I thought this article by Rebecca Altman at The Atlantic was depressing, but had some interesting chemistry in it.
- The same author had a really fascinating post on an old plant that I really liked.
- The latest from Stellen für Chemiker.
Again, an open invitation to all interested in writing a blog, a hobby that will bring you millions thousands hundreds tens of dollars joy and happiness. Send me a link to your post, and I'd be happy to put it up.
The resistance of PCBs to degradation means that the children of today's environmental analytical chemists will be identifying and quantitating Aroclors in samples using a GC with an electron capture detector. The EPA might no longer exist.
ReplyDeleteRoman does such a great job on those infographics, I love them
ReplyDeleteCJ - you might want to go to a title like "2mL Transfer Pipettes" or "Scoopula" (my personal favorite). Unlike
ReplyDeleteyour links and postings which are infinitely useful, LDPE that squeeze bottles are made of do not stand up well against toluene and usually show degradation within days.
Not all squeeze bottles are LDPE! For hydrocarbons and DCM where I work, we have to use something else (I forget what), due to exactly this problem. Although maybe you are right, because the 'something else' is borderline useless as a squeeze bottle.
