Hello bloggers and blog readers!

Welcome to the blog carnival round up for #RealTimeChem week. As noted above this year blog posts are all about the hashtag theme, #ChemTogether. There’s been some really interesting stuff written so far, which you can find in the round up below:

• Livingston to Singapore – My Chemistry Story – by Craig Fraser (@chemistcraig) at Scottish Scientist in Singapore  – A story of a chemistry life well lived from Craig. Humble beginning to big adventures around the world. An inspiring post for #RealTimeChem Week. 
• Hydrogen Bonding and Electronegativity (or alternatively War and PAINS – by Peter Kenny (@pwk2013) at Molecular Design – some quite literal #ChemTogether in the form of a primer on hydrogen bonding and also a treatise on PAINS filters by way of War and Peace.   
• Still working towards convergence in total synthesis – by Mark Peczuh (@mwpeczuh) at The Offset  – some highly relevant observations regarding  gender balance in natural product synthesis research that gathers a useful list of women working in the area. 

Thanks to everyone above for blogging this week. I’ll update this round up at the end of the week if there are any further blog posts.
