After starting my degree, it didn’t take me long to realise that being trussed up in a white coat and goggles for the rest of my scientific career was not for me. And so I began to wonder... Read Now Your weekend problem A question struck me yesterday afternoon (editorial discretion prevents me revealing exactly why): what weight could you hang from a chemical bond before it broke? How many atoms? Read Now Reactions: Clemens Richert Clemens Richert is in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Stuttgart, and works on functional nucleic acids. Read Now Speaking Frankly: Emotional honesty I started writing this post almost three months ago, after reading a string of emotionally honest and unapologetic pieces from Athene Donald, Rita Tojeiro, Paul Bracher, and others. Read Now Reactions: Steven Benner Steven Benner directs the Westheimer Institute at the Foundation for Applied Molecular Evolution, and works at the interface between the physical sciences, informatics, natural history, and planetary science.
