It's like steak-of-the-month, but with science

Also, no actual molecules come to your door.

This evening I found a totally cool website called Molecule of the Month. Going back to January of 1996, this site features a new molecule every month, with entries written by numerous contributors.

I've been such a slacker around here the past few weeks and I hardly have anything to show for it, but this was pretty cool so it poked me until I decided to post about it. There should be other nifty posts in the near future, as I've been keeping up with my tv watching, and I actually have some thoughts about a nerd-appropriate book I read recently.

In the meantime, here's to this month's molecule, Vanillin!
