The latest issue of the Reactive Reports chemistry news site is now live. In it, I discuss various advances in the chemical sciences including weighty issue of trans fat that has butter lovers everywhere declaring, “I told you so!” Also in issue 56, I report on the basic approach to chemotherapy that side-steps the need for a magic bullet and find out how NASA has lit a fuse under the planetary carbon debate.
Our reactive profile this month is Will Griffiths. Griffiths a chemist by training like me opted out of the lab early in his career with the aim of applying his chemical knowledge and expertise through an altogether different medium. He is now investing his time and energy in developing the ChemRefer.com website, which offers chemists every quick and open access to the free full-text chemistry literature. You can use this search tool via the Chemspy Toolbox or download the Chemrefer toolbar.
