Chemistry World January 2, 2013 Derek Lowe	Fear of the unknown My mental file drawer labelled 'Terrible Reagents I Have Known' is even larger than the one called 'Lunatics I Have Worked With and their Life-Threatening Ideas'. We organic chemists really do work with some terrible chemicals, and it's up to us to keep them from causing havoc.
Chemistry World March 27, 2014 Derek Lowe	Known unknowns Most dangerous substances announce themselves by their structures and reactivity, and a competent organic chemist should be able to read those signs.
Chemistry World June 1, 2012 Derek Lowe	Peace, love and understanding You'd think that the chemists and biologists working in drug discovery would understand each other pretty well by now. You would be wrong about that.

Chemistry World January 25, 2013 Derek Lowe	Name reactions: how does the label stick? Some of these names go back to the 19th century, and many more of them come from the first decades of the 20th. Once in a while, I wonder if the tradition is dying out. Are we still naming chemical reactions after their discoverers?
