It’s time for a fresh open thread. Feel free to use the comments to plug things, post random thoughts, ask questions…whatever.
I’ll open with my top 5 favorite Sporcle quizzes on chemistry:
3. Shared Abbreviations (Elements, States, and Country Domains)
4. Common Acids
Bonus: 6. One Letter Elements
I miss “The Wall” from the old blog. It was a chance for everyone to share thoughts and links unrelated to chemistry. Something is odd with this WordPress theme in that it doesn’t allow comments on pages (versus posts). Rather than going too far into the code, I figured I’d just replace the wall with an open thread.
Feel free to share your thoughts on vending machine snacks, best brands of bar soap, movies/TV…whatever. Nothing is off topic. You can even plug stuff. Direct us to your latest paper, share your favorite YouTube video, or brag about your new book.
