Really interesting getting a window into the world of professional chemistry. So impactful on all of us but so much more opaque. We see CS jokes/memes all over the place, even if only those who program get them, but we never see chem jokes, or only sparingly and rarely beyond a high school level.

I wish I knew the havkernews equivalent for chemistry, finance, etc. The closest thing I've found was https://www.foundmyfitness.com/news for nutrition.

The writing is so good, I had to double check that it wasn't written by Derek Lowe.

I absolutely love reading Derek's blog. So informative and funny at the same time. Especially his "Things I Won't Work With" section.
