Working on reproducing an old (1996) paper today. Hopefully I'll be done with it soon enough.

Wrote More on More O'Ferrall-Jencks Diagram last night. Making the figures tufte-esque took longer than I thought.

Had my Physical Organic Chemistry finals today. A lot of what I read came from resonance, for example this review on Curtin–Hammett Principle. I'm very glad that resonance exists and I hope to contribute to it someday.

Absolutely loved watching Left-Handed Girl. I'd give it a strong 8.5/10.

I've entered Edward Tufte fandom and just found out Andrew Nisbet's post. Definitely worth a try !

Loved reading this Anecdotal History of Chemistry. It captures the human side of the science beautifully.
