A long list of small, useful things (links):

• Stories of scientists in East Germany, from Sarah Everts. 
• Welcome, "Not the Lab", to the chemblogosphere! This post on utility in federally-funded research has stuck with me. 
• Jess writes about carbon capture technology; I think there's real work here for organic chemists. 
• Which celebrity would you like to be in your lab photo shoot? 
• 10 nitrogens in a row!
• I loved this post on a flame by Th'Gaussling.
• C&EN's Christmas gift guide, including elemental Uncle Goose blocks. (Very sturdy, high quality.)
• Chemical-free food (yikes!)
• A great article on polonium-210 by Deborah Blum
• Milkshake's post on ultrafiltration in polymer chemistry was excellent. 
• Looking forward to answers from Dr. Freddy's AMA.
• John thinks about reshoring, and whether it will happen. I am skeptical, but hopeful. 
• This Dennis Curran commentary in Nature Chemistry (subscription needed) was very pointed, I thought, and only sort of jokey . It came with a fun picture from the journal's hard working staff. 
• Via Liberal Arts Chemistry, this story of a young woman who just wanted her B.Sc. in chemistry is really lovely. 

Did I miss anything? Readers, let me know in the comments.
