Dylan Stiles is blogging from the American Chemical Society meeting, as only he can. He's got three daily summary posts up (one, two, three), with more presumably on the way for however long the meeting lasts.
Personally, I can't make heads or tails of the scientific content, so I can't tell you whether any of the stuff he's posting about is actually interesting to normal humans. He's way into it, though, which makes even the incomprehensible bits fun to read. Or maybe I'm just sleep-deprived.

Like P.Z., I've been busy, busy, busy. TAM is a whirlwind of activity. Yesterday morning, I did my talk for the Science-Based Medicine workshop. Turnout was damned near standing room only, which makes me ask: Why would so many people be interested in hearing five somewhat geeky doctors pontificate…
Three weeks in Europe means a lot of time on planes and trains, so I actually got to read some fiction for a change. I'm stuck in a meeting all day today, and need a morale boost on the way in, so I'll go back to my book-blogging roots and type up the books that I read:

Organic synthesis is life; everything else is waiting.
Chad, it is fun to read, even for a stupid biologist who doesn't get any of the science.
As a fellow organic geek, I can verify that Dylan's content is just fine - he's going to some of the same talks that I would if I were attending the meeting. I haven't been to an ACS meeting in some time, though - they're humungous by the standards of the field, and you really have to sift the programs to find the worthwhile stuff.
