Australia to review pharma patent system, esp. the need for SPCs: http://t.co/sE1Wfffm. Interested to see how this get used elsewhere.

@DrRubidium @artologica It is good to see pro-chemistry advertising, but who other than @BASF is doing it?

@TomChivers I am fond of the "proof" that Storks bring Babies - there are a number but here is a recent one http://t.co/ztRUYDA8

@the_distillate Thank you that would be really wonderful. Would be happy with 2 readers who are not me or my mother.

@the_distillate yes just got it going over the last few weeks so do tell your friends!

@the_distillate oh no they don't have to be English. One friend has left offerings in Russian and Chinese. But English is good too!

@the_distillate Have been trying to collect #FavouriteWords on my blog http://t.co/moNXRZRz inspired by #funkyscienceterms

In two weeks time I shall be on my way to Chiang Mai for #APAA2012. Can't wait!

@spscheung Most enlighted thank you ;-)

@OEDonline @OxfordWords Thanks for the 1970 #OEDBirthdayWords. Would your followers suggest #FavouriteWords on http://t.co/moNXRZRz ?

@PatentSecretary Done. Thank you.

@PatentSecretary Obtention is a great word. If you don't want to leave a comment on my blog, I will add it as a word myself. #FavouriteWord

@spscheung Thanks for the #FF. I have never done one before but will now.

Collecting #FavouriteWords http://t.co/moNXRZRz - please leave yours as comment on my blog. Esp if you are #Chemist or #PatentAttorney!

Biology never ceases to amaze me: RT @CantabIP BBC Nature - Chinese turtle passes waste urea through its mouth http://t.co/hsHKpXTa

@Ipkat Does every JIPLP contributor who reads your tweets worry that you are talking about them?

@SellaTheChemist Thank you for giving us some proper chemistry today.

@ChemistryWorld @Clare_Sansom Thank you for this timely link to a most interesting piece.

I am leaving this subject for this year. #NobelPrize in #Chemistry

@JessTheChemist I rather agree - G-protein coupled receptors may be important, but please may we have a more chemical Nobel laureate?

@stuartcantrill of course makes perfect sense that the expert voice that journalist will seek out is chef, not chemist or chemistry writer

@stuartcantrill I am also perplexed by the reference to "nitrogen ice cube"

@NeilWithers @naturechemistry Really loved the editorial. Thank you.

Last week in Germany - visit to @BASF and the Pharmacy Museum in Heidelberg Castle http://t.co/rysvB7cw

Some thoughts on the state of chemistry in this country. Alive and well? Or with image problems and under threat... http://t.co/ZJgi97zb

@spscheung I changed the name of blog to IP Alchemist, so web address is also different from couple of weeks ago - now http://t.co/rszZOhdq

I am starting a new blog, with pseudonym The IP Alchemist. Check it out at http://t.co/rszZOhdq Let me know what you think!

@spscheung I like many German words - especially long ones made by stringing lots of words together. Didn't learn any new ones this time...

@spscheung Intuitive is a great word - both the sound and the meaning! (Delayed response because was in Germany without connection!)
