    Quote from: Borek on Today at 05:31:55 AMHeavy metal ions are quite often poisonous, nothing surprising.I understand, I'm just wondering whether I should identify the poison as copper sulfate, or simply copper?

  • Plutonium Mining

    Updated: 2010-10-26 05:22:25
    The WordPress blog website comes with a feature on the dashboard that lets you know what key words people are using to find your site. I just got two hits from people looking for “Plutonium Mining”.  Some folks out there are really confused. My dear fellow: one does not mine plutonium. One mines uranium and breeds it into plutonium.  Plutonium [...]

    10/23/10.  Th’ Gaussling is spending a safe and sane Mole Day at an undisclosed location in Colorado. The gaity and frivolity of this years madcap festivities will be left to others. Th’ Gaussling has instead chosen to mark the date with a period of introspection and solemn meditation rather than the customary secular bacchanalian festivus. [...]

  • Some Realities of Modern Placer Gold Mining

    Updated: 2010-10-17 20:51:12
    Yesterday was spent doing set construction for our upcoming production of You Can’t Take it With You. The spouse of one of the actors is a gold miner and a pretty fair carpenter.  He returned early from a placer mining expedition this summer west of Dawson, YT, Canada, across the border on the US side. My acquaintance- we’ll [...]

  • It is what it is

    Updated: 2010-10-16 00:58:01
    It is funny how I revert back to basic skills I learned in an undergrad class called Organic Qualitative Analysis. Naturally, this course is long extinct. The prof who taught it has retired and all of the newbie profs are experts in hyphenated technologies like nano-_____, bio-_______, and _______-mass spec.  I’m glad that a senior chem [...]

Meanwhile a chinese food menu slides under the door and helicopers buzz annoyingly overhead. The urgent piping of ambulance sirens bounces off the concrete and [...]

    Here is a picture I took of Richard Heck in the spring of 2005 posing with Bob Grubbs before his trip to Sweden. This was taken at the Organometallic Chemistry section of the Gordon Conference at Salve Regina in 2005.  It is a great place to spend a few days giving or listening to chemistry talks, though [...]

    Updated: 2010-10-05 00:48:52
    10/5/10.  Which chemists do you suppose will get the call from Sweden this year?  I’ll guess Breslow or Whitesides again. But then, what about some catalyst guys? Heck, Tsuji, Suzuki, Sonogashira, to name a few? (D’oh!! Are they all alive?)  Think about how normal it has become to do an aryl coupling reaction with a boronic [...]
