  • Online Middle School Chemistry Resource

    Updated: 2012-04-30 18:12:40
    The ACS Education Division has developed a new middle school chemistry resource, "Middle School Chemistry: Big Ideas about the Very Small." This free, six-chapter resource can serve as either a stand-alone chemistry unit or as a supplement to any middle school science curriculum. "Middle School Chemistry" uses a hands-on inquiry approach along with specially designed molecular model animations, to take students from concrete experiences to an understanding of the world of atoms and molecules. Share this free resource with middle school teachers you know.

  • Problem of the week - 30/04/2012

    Updated: 2012-04-30 15:22:49
    Simple one, and an open one - that is, I think I know the answer, but I am ready for better solutions.What is the lightest (lowest molar mass) chiral compound made of C and H only?What is the lightest chiral compound (no restriction to CH)?

  • The case of the disappearing (space) dinos

    Updated: 2012-04-27 08:13:19
    The spacedino story continues to develop. Yesterday the ACS issued a statement to Nature's newsblog, “We are following established procedure to investigate the claim of self-plagiarism. If it is determined that this is case of self-plagiarism, appropriate action will be taken as provided for in our ethical guidelines.” So at least ACS are appearing to take [...]

  • Space dinosaurs, the saga continues

    Updated: 2012-04-24 12:50:23
    Last week I , and several others , wrote about the extraordinary and unfounded conclusions published in a JACS perspective, that dinosaurs may have evolved into intelligent life elsewhere in the universe. Well it gets worse, because as Stuart Cantrill (editor of Nature Chemistry) pointed out on twitter (@stuartcantrill), this isn't the first time Prof Breslow has made these claims. Nor in fact [...]

  • Eye-Test Abstracts

    Updated: 2012-04-20 09:01:26
    Readers: have you noticed the new trend in graphical abstracts? Seems to me that more and more choose the "coloring book" route. (I've written about this a few times at Just Like Cooking, but I've decided to up the ante and broaden the discussion audience over here) When designing talks and posters, most chemists will [...]

  • A chemist by any other name

    Updated: 2012-04-16 19:24:25
    I just returned from a visit to China (and its WordPress blocking Great Firewall) so I figured now it's a good time to make my first post on Chem-Blog. I am preparing to begin my graduate career in a PhD program entitled Chemical and Physical Biology. Over the course of the application season, I was [...]

  • Magnetic grapes and NMR

    Updated: 2012-04-16 07:55:23
    When I was an undergrad I found NMR to be one of the trickiest techniques to get my head around. I think it was because the technique involves so many concepts that run counter to everything we've learnt before. After all in school we get told about ferromagnets and thats it. Then at uni suddenly [...]
