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.

Vance has waaaay too much time on his hands...
ReplyDeletethe funniest one I have seen was cover spoof of the Cosmopolitan. With hadlines "What women want from their ligand" and "The most potent nucleophile"
ReplyDeleteFavorite indicator - Phenolphthalein. Not only was it the first indicator I ever used in a titration (it was in my SkilCraft chemistry set), but you could fix it with a melted chocolate bar and make ExLax, a popular laxative back when I was a kid.
ReplyDeleteOf course, now they say it is a carcinogen, like everything else.
It was nice with sodium, though.
DeleteThree necks. One for the condenser, one for the addition sep funnel and the third for the thermometer. You can always stopper the third neck if you don't need it, but adding a neck takes some pretty good glassblowing...

TNT - no thank you. TATB, triaminotrinitrobenzene, is much safer, especially when building nukes. Much less likely to do something rude with plutonium. :-)
