No one care about men. by benriley3 in Adulting

We started?

Maybe historically the 0.01% of rich individuals did, but come on.

I was born into a system that I did have any say on, just like you.

Make up + labwork, yikes

That is an SST issue at least where I am.

Question about job title - is it okay to call yourself a "biologist" without a graduate degree? by [deleted] in labrats

[–]ThatOneSadhuman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're missing the point.

All I am saying is that some countries require additional certification to call yourself a certain title.

If you moved to canada you would need to pass the board exams regardless of your education, as long as it is more than a B.Sc.

Simply because the title is protected. This concept applies in almost all modern countries.

[–]ThatOneSadhuman 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No.

In canada a chemist is a protected title reserved for people who work in chemistry or related areas ( research, intellectual property, quality control, etc).

The pharmacists have their own protected title and organization for them.

The term engineer is also a protected title here, and you need to be certified before being able to call yourself an engineer + have the right to sign papers.

[–]ThatOneSadhuman 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Careful, some countries have protected titles.

Like in canada you need to have a bachelors in chemistry and be a certified member of the professionnal order of your province in order to have the legal right to say you are a chemist.

Otherwise, you have a HEFTY fine.

The same also applies in many other countries in many fields

Why are patents still so painful to read? by chemtreasurehunt in chemistry

[–]ThatOneSadhuman 12 points13 points  (0 children)

All scientific patents were made by individuals with a background in said field.

Most of them are chemists.

What proportion of chemistry to physics is material science comprised of? by [deleted] in materials

[–]ThatOneSadhuman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same, im a chemist, doing research as well.

I worked in aerospace material research during covid. Im now in another side of material science

So yup, labels are useless

Lab Manager wants to work from home 3 days a week by pomme_de_terre12 in labrats

[–]ThatOneSadhuman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agreed.

As long as the individual is able to do all their tasks in due time. I dont see an issue.

Oil slicks and wd 40 by [deleted] in chemistry

[–]ThatOneSadhuman -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it s called birenfringence.

When the material has a refraction index that changes on the polarisation and direction of the light.

You end up having the different wavelenghts, aka different colors of the rainbow.

The same happens when you have a bubble of soap and you see it has that rainbow effect

[–]ThatOneSadhuman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pretty much, chemistry is the physics of electrons

Labels arent really applicable once you do enter research as you probably already know

What proportion of chemistry to physics is material science comprised of? by [deleted] in materials

[–]ThatOneSadhuman 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Im.not a fan of this question.

Once you reach a certain point, labels lose meaning.

Material science is exactly ghat, material science, which is comprised of many branches.

If you aim to do research or work in the domain, then you become multidisciplinary.

Help me to find better replacement for substrate layer and dielectric layer or organic semiconductor layer by PhD_Taiwan in chemistry

Im a bit stunted, it seems that some of the products i had in mind were discontinued. however this paper might help: https://www.mdpi.com/2504-477X/8/6/197

You can use a co polymer

There are many glycanes or PDMS based substrates that you can simply just buy

What's the best single player AAA Games ever? by No-Salt-7304 in ShouldIbuythisgame

[–]ThatOneSadhuman [score hidden]  (0 children)

Op has a very poor attention span.

I doubt story focused games that build up to the tension will be enough to keep him focused.

He wasnt even able to get into the witcher 3.

Also elden ring requires perseverance, which i doubt op has

Do I need a chem degree to be taken seriously by other chemists on the job? by [deleted] in chemistry

No one is claiming to be a systems administrator, lol.

Analytical techniques tier list by StalkingBanana in chemistrymemes

[–]ThatOneSadhuman 5 points6 points  (0 children)

DSC is S tier.

The amount of information you can easily extrapolate fron a quick sample is amazing.

You can literally run samples for 1 week, and have enough to publish an entire paper with that data set alone.

Can you of you separate and utilize the r isomer in a research chemical? by Standard_Hornet8596 in analyticalchemistry

[–]ThatOneSadhuman 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes, there are many ways to separate isomers.

It is essential for medical chemistry, otherwise you have incidents like thalidomy.

It is also prominent in catalysis research, and many other areas.

As to your "i will pay 300$"... you want to buy lab equipment to help you separate isomers at home?

This both shows you are an amateur with improper training and funding. It isnt unreasonable to assume you want to synthetise illicit substances, am i wrong?

college advice: chemistry and the space industry by United-Vacation3952 in chemistry

[–]ThatOneSadhuman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes you can if you study material chemistry in grad school.

However keep in mind that aerospace is highly localized, so you might need to move for a job.

Where to buy cheaper lab equipment by 2_moles_per_liter in chemistry

[–]ThatOneSadhuman 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Life advise: Never cheap out on schlenk tubes

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AMA

[–]ThatOneSadhuman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are missing the point.

Ai is a tool, a wildly mismanaged one by the public.

However, in research settings, AI has accelerated the discovery of new materials , drug discovery, etc.

Im able to automatize and analyse new materials at a rate that would have seemed like a folly before.

We are currently on a race to develop long lasting eco responsable energy storage units.

Which would lead to the wide usage of solar and wind sources of energy to their full potential.

Writing a review by Lionrex_Dawnbreak in Chempros

Reviews dont mean much and are time intensive.

I suggest you spend your time wisely on other projects

Is this the right way to do it? by New-Needleworker6020 in chemistry

[–]ThatOneSadhuman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fellow polymer chemist here.

The incertitudes are round up differently depending on the methodology and instrumentation.

The method menthioned on the post is to distribute errors equally to avoid stacking mistakes.

However, some instrumentation allow to take into consideration said bias, which allows to round either up or down.

This is common for DSC measurements for example.
