It's that time of the month when web hosting fees for compoundchem.com leave my account. They've increased again this year, so it now costs me almost £60 per month to keep all the graphics freely available.

If you'd like to support these costs, I'd hugely appreciate it!

I'm sadly not surprised to see that technician wellbeing has declined. Some of the stories shared by technicians on the @preproom.bsky.social forums, and the technician facebook group, are just appalling.
