We are celebrating our 7th anniversary with a quiz on abbreviations you need to know to be up-to-date, anniversaries of chemical societies, history of chemistry, some nice to know facts, …

We would also like to use this occasion to say thank you to our Society Advisory Board members and to all of our contributors, readers, and commenters who help to keep ChemistryViews.org attractive and successful, for which we are very grateful.

Please continue to contact us with ideas, suggestions, and information and to enjoy ChemistryViews.org and chemistry.
