24/40 ground glass joints

A small list of useful things (links):

• If you haven't read this story about Brian Wansink, you really should give it a read. What a story. 
• Basically, thanks to a mostly terrible (now deleted) blog post, a small raft of papers around food/behavioral science have been retracted or corrected. 
• I really enjoyed this piece about long-haul moving truckers.
• (I guess I won't be looking at long-haul trucker as my backup career.) 
• What to know before starting your Ph.D. program, by Maggie Kuo (featuring a number of chemists)
• Nobel Prize predictions: from Sam, and Ash
• A fun post by Science Shenanigans about the Ig Nobels
• A couple posts from Sustainable Nano
• The latest from Stellen für Chemiker
• The latest roundup at All Things Metathesis from Adam Johns
• Nice writeup by Neal Anderson of methods to remove ruthenium from metathesis reactions.

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 good weekend!
