Spent some happy #ITeachChem time this afternoon choosing some of @compoundchem.com’s graphics to use in a #Chemistry themed scavenger hunt for Science Week in March. Seemed like a good moment to repost this request:
It's that time of the month when web hosting fees for compoundchem.com leave my account. They've increased again this year, so it now costs me almost £60 per month to keep all the graphics freely available.
If you'd like to support these costs, I'd hugely appreciate it!

Zika virus is spreading as climate change causes the mosquito's range to expand. Research like this study into how the Zika virus modifies the chemical composition of human skin could help lead to ways to control the disease's spread.

Given the current political climate, you may find it useful to seek comfort in science with its steadfast rules and laws, independent of human concerns like slogans, money and who you know.
