こんばんは、お久しぶりです。最近ブログの更新が滞っていましたが、実は ACS National Meeting のためにアメリカのボストンに行っておりました。もちろん今は製薬企業の研究員ですので、有機化学部門ではなく創薬化学部門にいたわけですが。ところで ACS の創薬化学部門では Lunch & Learn という昼食を取りながらのセッションがあります。例年は臨床まで行った新薬候補の成功物語なんかを紹介するコーナーなのですが、今年は一味違って化学ブロガーを呼んでパネルディスカッションを開いていました。ブログを始めた理由やブロガー裏話、ブログの社会的意義、質疑応答などなど、その様子は C&EN blog で紹介されています。日本でもこうしたセッションを開いてみたらまた一味違った考えなど出て面白いかもしれませんね。
さて、このセッションの終わりに英語圏の有名化学ブログ（創薬関連、合成化学など）の一覧をもらったので紹介しておきましょう。膨大すぎて私もまだ全部見きれていませんが、なかなか面白そうです。実験の合間などにどうぞ！
