Chemistry World November 2008 Ananyo Bhattacharya	Editorial: Competing priorities The UK's Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council has been restructuring the way it funds chemistry. It is focusing on funding multi-disciplinary teams in large research programs for longer times.
Chemistry World November 2008 Derek Lowe	Column: In the pipeline Drug discovery chemists live by assay data; we depend on these numbers to tell us if we're heading in the right direction with our molecules.
Chemistry World November 2008 Paul Docherty	Column: Totally Synthetic Vannusal B -- This is a classic case of misassigned identity - the structure published by the researchers who first isolated the compound from its natural source has been recreated via total synthesis, and found wanting.

Chemistry World October 29, 2008 Lewis Brindley	Popular Agrochemical Linked to Frog Disease A new study provides further evidence linking the herbicide Atrazine to a global decline in amphibian populations over the last three decades.
Chemistry World October 28, 2008 Hayley Birch	Drug sandwich baits E. coli toxins Polymer scaffolds that pin molecules together at multiple binding sites can trap and destroy E. coli toxins by locking them to immune proteins, researchers based in Canada and Japan have found.
Chemistry World October 24, 2008 Hayley Birch	Proteins swap partners UK researchers have discovered that proteins which use metal cofactors can be surprisingly promiscuous metal binders, happily taking up the 'wrong' metal.
Chemistry World October 23, 2008 Lewis Brindley	Ripe bananas glow bright blue The yellow fruits glow bright blue under ultraviolet light, researchers in Austria were surprised to discover - with the intensity of the blue glow peaking at the point the fruit is perfect to eat.
