I find his articles boring and uninformative. However, he has managed to upset several people, so there’s one success.

If he's going to make these kinds of mistakes, he should just start a chemistry blog. Yeah, he was three orders-of-magnitude off in his fat calculation.

After a while, when I was thumbing through another C&EN, I saw an article about martini's. Being a die-hard fan of James Bond movies, I decided to check it out. As a published undergraduate researcher, I felt insulted by his article and was shocked to see that such pure bunk was published in C&EN. If that represents the opinions of C&EN then I worry for the future of the journal.

Thank you! I can't stand his column either. I'm just not interested in reading it anymore. Yes! Thank you! I can’t stand his column either. I’m just not interested in reading it anymore.
