Wired Magazine and the fall of citizen chemistry

by mitch on May 31 2006 (1120 Views)

I’m not a usually a reader of Wired magazine but recently they’ve done an expose on the troubles with citizen chemistry in America. They use the less regal phrase do-it-yourself DIY chemistry and the article can be found here http://wired.com/wired/archive/14.06/chemistry.html .

Trying to do my small part for the citizen science community I created a new forum for individuals to trade chemicals and supplies with each other http://www.chemicalforums.com/index.php?board=53.0, its a sad day when it has to come down to actions like this. But in a hyper-vigilante government era these are the kinds of steps the average citizen has to take.

Mitch

P.S. I know that forum will not be used much, but I’m just doing my small part.
