Graduate Students and Postdocs Share Their Top Tips for Grad School Success

What do you think it takes to succeed in graduate school?
We asked senior graduate students and postdocs to share their thoughts, experiences, and tips for success in graduate school. See what they had to say, and share your comments and experiences on the Chemistry Grad Students and Postdocs Blog...

C&EN Launches Seven New Blogs on CENtral Science (http://centralscience.org)

This is your opportunity to discuss relevant news and issues with reporters, scientists, and leaders in chemistry and allied fields. The new blogs cover chemical business news, chemistry careers, chemical safety, cleantech, newscripts, and pharma/biotech. Each blog has a unique voice and is frequently updated with new and interesting material.

Check back in July for information about how to win a free CENtral Science t-shirt & gift card at the ACS Fall National Meeting in Boston.
