David Bradley's Significant Figures blog was a pick of the day in May 2005: "Blogs are great for giving voice to minority interests andSignificant Figures is no exception. Its writers are concerned with the misuse of numbers and scientific measurements. Oddly absorbing."

More of a magazine than a revision aid, this site contains lots of articles of interest to chemist. Great for background reading. Great site.

 

David Bradley's blog, SciObs, offers a sometimes irreverent, but always intelligent take on the day's science news from this freelance science writer. Guardian pick of the day (29th September 2004)

Reactive Reports - A chemistry webzine that is attractively put together and takes a pride in being cutting edge. The site is run by science writer David Bradley in conjunction with Advanced Chemistry Development (ACD). Some of the featured stories at the time of writing this review (issue 9) ranged from electrodeposition of an electrochemically active fullerene film on electrodes to roles of nitric oxide in muscle relaxation, the immune response, memory, and sexual arousal. The previous issues are archived. Some of the molecular graphics can be downloaded in ChemSketch format, should you have the appropriate software to view them (a product of ACD).
