6 mL transfer pipets

A list of small, useful things (links):

• Anyone facing a writing deadline (looking at you, thesis writers) (looking right back at you, CJ - ed.) should read Dan Drezner's post on writing a non-fiction book. 
• I have been remiss in not linking to Jyllian's post on colorblindness as a laboratory safety hazard.
• Mitch writes about vacuum pumps. 
• Via the Chemistry Reddit, an amazing, terrible story about a poorly run, unsafe drum reconditioning plant. 
• Carmen on theobromine.
• Ash says we need more Leo Szilards.
• I was always troubled by Szilard's political idealism (as described in "The Making of the Atomic Bomb"), but I probably need to read more about him before I make a final conclusion. 
• You probably have to search to find a foodstuff that hasn't had a NMR spectrum taken of it; here's Bruker talking about honey. 
• I really enjoyed this post by James.
• 7 mobile apps for drug discovery professionals
• Do people actually use their phones in this way?
• "Social science isn’t definitive like chemistry." 
• I think this dude has the wrong idea about chemistry. 
• I never got to write about this professor's shenanigans; for the record, I found (initial) his little story wildly indiscreet. 

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.

Have a great weekend!
