Welcome to the RSC Blog. This was, once upon a time, an active place for the more off-the-wall parts of RSC activity, where we wanted to use rich media, and elicit and collect reader feedback, discussion and argument.
We haven’t been using it much recently, though, owing to the exciting new website called The Reaction.
It’s been up a few months and is a home for all things entertaining and chemical. There are plenty of news stories about the chemistry of everyday life, chemistry in the media, interesting anniversaries or things we just wanted to write about.
It’s got a great and expanding library of the best chemistry videos on the net. You can look at photos and videos of past public events at The Chemistry Centre in London. And there’s info about why the 21st century science of chemistry really matters to the future of our planet.
It allows us to write about things that have previously graced this blog, from chemically-perfect recipes for Yorkshire puddings and gravy to ridiculous packaging claims of “chemical-free” products.
The DISQUS comments make it easier than ever to discuss the stories using your existing Twitter, Facebook or other accounts, and to share the stories with your various social networks.
So head on over! This blog is staying put because there’s loads of great content, but it won’t be updated from now on. Thanks for reading.
