Re: Best Places to Work: Postdocs,1 maybe it would be good to have an article pointing out the reasons some institutes did not rate highly in the survey. I don't think the institutions should be named but being able to compare the good with the bad would be a good tool for students and postdocs, to get an idea of what to watch out for when applying for jobs.

Years ago, many a kid got into science through chemistry sets. Unfortunately, the chemistry sets nowadays are extremely watered down from what was available 40 years ago. I think that we've turned into a nation of scared wimps as far as our children are concerned. If amateur science is to flourish, as Richard Gallagher calls for in his editorial,1 we need to bring back better chemistry sets!
