It would could be fun to meet other bloggers at the ACS meeting in Chicago. Eventually we’re going to have to have some kind of official (ACS sanctioned) function where bloggers can get together at these meetings. We’re all driven to write about chemistry in one way or other and I’d say, for the most part, we’re all smitten with this science. Chemistry bloggers are science writers. We write because we are driven to do it.
It would have to be done in a way that is not threatening to anyone. Basically we’re all anonymous writers. I suppose that fact could be viewed as kind of creepy in some way- I don’t want to run into some wacko either. But wouldn’t it be fun to sit with other bloggenvolk at the convention hall and chat? I think it could be lots of fun. The pseudonym stuff wears thin.
Eventually it’ll happen. This mode of communication isn’t going to disappear anytime soon.
Yes, I think that is a good idea. We could also consider setting up a temporary ‘planet’ for ACS meeting visitors…
Sounds like a great idea. Unfortunately, I won’t be going to Chicago this year…
thechemblog, tenderbutton and chemical forums readers and staff did all meet up at SF-ACS with a bunch of our readers and friends. Some of it was documented here: http://www.chemicalforums.com/index.php?topic=10404.0

I’ll be at the ACS meeting, and it would be interesting to meet! Maybe around the blogging talks?
Hi all!
G’night
