2015 JLC New Year's Resolutions
And so we close another year on the chemblogosphere. Instead of recounting the highs and lows of 2014, I've decided this year to focus on what lies ahead for Just Like Cooking.
Three areas I'll try to focus on for 2015:
1. Photocatalysis. It's exploding in all areas of chemistry, with new complexes and new (old) dyes appearing daily. Hopefully 2015 will show more light-promoted reactions as key steps in total syntheses.
2. Antibiotic Development. Dire predictions swirl around our readiness, as a species, to defend ourselves against the ever-evolving horde of microorganisms surrounding us. Hopefully 2015 - whether by luck or skill - finds new molecules to address this challenge.
3. Alternative Careers / Leaving the Lab. (Refer to my apologia from a few weeks ago...)
Wishing you and yours a happy, healthy start to 2015!
