The Chemportal

I remember reading Kary Mullis’ autobiography and a chapter from this book describing the event of getting a physics article published in Nature , despite the fact that he was a chemist.  Kary Mullis was the chemist who came up with the PCR technique.  The article that was published consisted of his musings on time travel from what I remember…….he apparently wrote it while in a drug induced state.  According to his autobiography, Nature was quite embarrassed in publishing the article and for indicating the author as a physics professor.

So do Chemist’s prefer Nature or Science?  They both seem to be more biology oriented, not much pure Chemistry going on besides what may be more closely ascribed to as molecular biology.  Both of them cost a fortune, I just paid over ten dollars for latest copy of Nature.
