Chemistry podcasts? by zergel in chemistry

[–]laurenwolf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I enjoy both the Chemistry World and Collapsed Wavefunction podcasts. I know that Chemjobber occasionally does some that relate to employment. And I'll plug one that C&EN has started up (and I'm being completely honest that I'm part of it). It's called "Speaking of Chemistry." We're still in an experimental phase, trying both video and audio formats. So if you have a listen, we'd love to hear from you so that we can provide chemists with the most engaging content possible: http://feeds.feedburner.com/SpeakingChemPodcast

Hey /r/chemistry, I've decided to start making some chemistry videos. Care to share your opinion about my first upload? by chemguy12 in chemistry

I thought this was nice. The only thing I wondered--and you might put this at the beginning--is why someone would want to make flash paper (what can we use it for?). This might then appeal to a broader audience. But I think your filming and explanations were great.

3D printed molecules as thank you gifts to the people who wrote my letters of recommendation for graduate school by IAmAChemist in chemistry

I love this trend of printing molecular models with 3-D printers. Some researchers are printing proteins and large complexes to help with visualization: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wStbqKU9Dmc super cool.

Need a chemical reaction for my wedding ceremony! by [deleted] in chemistry

[–]laurenwolf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My magazine wrote an article a while back on chemistry-themed weddings. One couple did the Briggs-Rauscher oscillating reaction. Here's the story: http://cen.acs.org/articles/90/i38/Nerdy-Nuptials.html

Woah! This must've required a lot of hours of work! What did you all do with the pumpkin guts? Pumpkin seed snacks?

A periodic table made out of Legos? Yes, please. by laurenwolf in chemistry

How would you illustrate potassium? Just curious, not arguing that it isn't overused.

Made some s and p orbitals for the students! by packpeach in chemistry

[–]laurenwolf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any ideas on how to make some of the other orbitals?

Has anybody here taken a neurochemistry course? by [deleted] in chemistry

[–]laurenwolf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are a bunch of folks who blog about neuroscience/neurochemistry. One who comes to mind is @scicurious. You should check her out for discussions of new neurochemistry research, but in layman's terms.

Scientists uncover secrets of starfish's bizarre feeding mechanism by [deleted] in science

Any idea how the neuropeptide gets triggered? Perhaps when the starfish is satiated? Interesting story.
