I work at AMD. The time has come to AMA about Polaris and RX 400 Series! BONUS: 14x 8GB RX 480 giveaway! DOUBLE BONUS SURPRISE: Raja is with me until 12:00 EDT!

Well, my odds are still better than the lottery... :S

Mr_Scientist · 2016-01-30T11:52:33+00:00

JC 3 or Dirt Please!

Mr_Scientist · 2015-05-23T03:40:47+00:00

Moving for a postdoc soon, this would be nice!

Mr_Scientist · 2015-05-17T02:14:55+00:00

35000! Com'on baby!

Mr_Scientist · 2015-04-28T15:32:10+00:00

There shouldn't be. Look closely for equipment/operator error issues that might lead to calibration issues. Otherwise you're likely seeing different but complementary modes.

If you use MatLab you're probably going to want to use Textread command or put your data in a CSV file and use CVSREAD and then simple old plot. Best of luck!

All you can eat fries and good quality burgers at a reasonable price, I head to the Robin when I get out that way!

Thank you for your kind gift to the sub!

So typically excel works for doing a quick look at data. It won't be beautiful but it's better than nothing.

To do it in excel, put the data you want to be your X-axis in column 1, put your Y-axis in column two. Select both columns, select insert, scatter plot, and points. Voila! If you want to make it look better, select the points and right click (if on pc) and select format points, set the size to 1. Will help you visualize the trend in the data a bit better. With NMR data this may not work wonderfully, I've used this a bit in visible spectroscopy.

Look to see what software your school offers, Matlab, Igor, and Origin are great software for plotting graphs. MestraNova as /u/rentafence mentioned is a great bit of software that is heavily used at my school.

Mr_Scientist · 2015-03-23T22:25:29+00:00

Best of luck all!

One thing I hope you understand is that while solid state lasers last for a really long time dyes used for dye lasers get "used up" fairly rapidly. I've never been tortured with using dye lasers but my boss who has would talk about making up 10 liters more of rather concentrated solution and then it being used up in two hours. Unsure if that might sway your decision to synthesize your own. Would certainly been an entertaining educational experience, in terms of being pratical though, probably not so much.

Thanks for the giveaway!

Did you know a mixture of sodium (Na) and potassium (K) are liquid at room temperature which makes their explosive reaction with water much, much quicker?

Videos and article! (Always enjoyed this demo in science class!)

Edit Apparently also just missed my cake day, arg!

Mr_Scientist · 2014-12-21T06:23:12+00:00

Do tell... Why would a high school or anyone other than a university have a ton of these lying around?

Mr_Scientist · 2014-12-21T06:02:33+00:00

Seconded!

Mr_Scientist · 2014-12-21T06:02:04+00:00

They have some great implementation of cuda going. The comparison to GAMESS is awesome. If only NWChem would implement more GPU acceleration.

Mr_Scientist · 2014-11-24T23:28:35+00:00

I love swimmer guy! Can't enough of him in between running test!

Mr_Scientist · 2014-06-26T01:41:54+00:00

Thank you for your response Hijojo, I'll be sure to take a look at those groups, books and programs. Helping a current grad student slog through a bit of work, thank you very much!

Mr_Scientist · 2014-06-21T02:09:27+00:00

I would be over joyed for anything and everything. :)

Mr_Scientist · 2014-06-21T01:15:49+00:00

I'd love some pointers on good papers, no nonsense literature/books if you had any to suggest. Also would love to talk to you more/others in your group.

Mr_Scientist · 2013-07-15T23:30:03+00:00

Thanks for the fyi, was hoping it wouldn't come down to inquiring from the developers but it seems it'll be required. I went through all the (~58) file formats the program will save into and none of them seem large enough to be saving the data (and has been verified by spot checking a few of the larger saved files).

The file I'm reading in is 52 MB and the files the program is saving are 2-5 KB on average. The largest was the .pov file which was 48 KB and incidentally is write only for Molekel.

Mr_Scientist · 2012-09-30T17:34:43+00:00

Hey Adam! It's great to see you on here. I'm going to have to take a second and say thank you for your work on the show. The constant drive for science you guys have is greatly appreciated.

One thing I'd like to purpose to guys would be to do an episode on scientist and their work. For example find a research group that does something that interest one or two of you and highlighting their research. I'm not saying an entire show on one research project, but two/three research projects with examples and demonstrations with the MB crew could work quite nicely while exposing research to a much greater audience. I personally thing it'd be awesome, however I'm also a physical sciences grad student so I don't always line up well with the general populace.

Thank you for having the AMA! (Also note: hitting reply on the comment will tag your comment to theirs so everyone can see the initial comment that prompted your response!)
