I’ve been an avid consumer of the science/chemistry blogosphere ever since my early days as a Ph.D. student. This awesome community consistently provides breaking news, helpful tips and different perspectives on important topics. Just a whole bunch of interesting things to think about. Below is a list of my personal recommendations, with links to specific posts where appropriate (more to be added when I get chance). If you don’t see your blog, please drop me a line – I’d be keen to check it out. Even currently inactive blogs contain a wealth of useful information that’s worth exploring.
