The Chemistry World Blog, from the Royal Society of Chemistry, presents a wide range of chemistry-related concerns, from thoughts on the uses of Botox to winners of the Novartis Prize. Recent posts have examined the history (and chemistry) of synthetic dyes, posited ergotism as a possible contributor to the horrors of the Salem Witch Trials, and celebrated the discovery of four new elements. The site also features podcasts (one representative title: "Killer sausages and the ditching twitches"), and allows readers to scout entries by tags, by categories, and with a keyword search. Finally, the Chemistry World Blog provides links to a number of other equally fascinating, equally erudite chemistry blogs, such as Chembark, Chemical Musings, and In the Pipeline.
