Physics in a second language | symmetry magazine https://t.co/bsbasBPGas Briefing. Biology, and perhaps environmental science, have more difficult translation problem because of lack of graphic commonality. In organic chemistry a chemical structure is the proverbial 1,000 words.
@philipcball Hurrah for Philip's comment. we need to recover the past joy of students hearing about the discovery and the Discoverer of major science, e.g. flipping cyclohexane chair and DHR Barton, a most provocative professor Nobelist
@Firecrackerdept this week will be dedicated to a manuscript of our research, long overdue in submission for publication AND an attempt to write about organic chemistry in a manner fully understood AND appreciated by those who have never seen the symbol sp2
@Lummis83 @stephengdavey @ChemistryKit@cesapo @LouisRedux @SuperScienceGrl never did a solo, always with students with intestinal fortitude to do it with great volume, varying from one, 10, 40, and 300 student audiences. the one and ten was usually associated with a game called Cardinal Puff
@pammoran@nytimes Hallelujah! No longer, when i ask my class of 300 on the day of the award: "who won the Nobel Prize and for what?" will i get a resounding silence. Include organic chemists in the list of types of scientists, since without them, we would not have molecules desperately tested
@BillMilkowski just read your review of McCoy Tyner. You are always comprehensive and pay attention to detail and important personal aspects, a joy to read, as was your book on Jaco Pastorius, on which i wrote you a century ago :)
looking for some response to: side-by-side comparison of C-H activation methods for synthesis (especially aromatic compounds) vs traditional name reaction-type methodologies on basis of a) number of steps to a given substrate; b) yields; c) economy.
@HillaryRichard@nytimes being 1/2 Estonian from my Mother's side, the article brought back fond memories of my Mother's nature - warm heart, straight-forward open, great respect for Estonian culture. i speak the language and return every year aware of my roots. thank you for the article
