Anyone in here interested in chemistry or biology (or medicine)? I wonder if any of you are doing any research and would like to discuss it. Doesn't necessarily have to be in the topics mentioned I suppose.
Im in a group concerned with using organic, chiral catalysts to drive stereo-specific outcomes (we use a lot of silicon). Anyone else working in a lab?

calling tornado of sharks. hes a chemist.

All I know about chemistry is that you shouldn't trust atoms: they make up everything.

I don't work in a lab or anything, but I really enjoy keeping up on medical literature and consider myself fairly knowledgeable. Science is fun :D

I once failed to dissolve sugar in water.
During my advanced higher investigation I was researching various properties of optical isomerism. One of the things I was using was a very fine anhydrous sugar. I weighed out the amount I needed in a beaker and added water. The sugar turned rock-solid all the way through with the water forming another layer on top and it took me about 15 minutes to chip it all out.
I now study maths.

The last time I worked in a lab I simultaneously burnt my product to a crisp and flooded the entire lab. Took us 3 hours to drain the place.
I now work on humans instead of inanimate chemicals >:D

Doing' basic stuff with acetone vinegar and lemon juice
acylating things...
if only i could get my hand on palladium.

I'm currently finishing up an undergraduate degree in Neurobiology with a focus in Chemistry
So, Organic Chemistry would be my realm
Chemistry's wicked cool. I took Inorganic this semester, and while it was rageworthy cause I didn't want to know it, it became interesting due to the power that those types of molecules have.
Some awesome advances in modern medicine are coming our way in the near future.
Also, palcohol.

Yea, I agree. It amazes me how elegant the problem solving can be in organic chemistry. However, I was even more surprised to see that much of the reactions that "worked on paper" can be done with good yields in the lab if you know what your doing.

What do you mean by working with humans? I have been thinking lately of moving into pharmaceutical development over medical school. Both of which would obviously have human elements.
What about you?

I am just a crazy human trafficker and torturer. I don't go to university.

I graduated with my bachelors in Chemistry and currently work as an analytical chemist for a bio-chem manufacturing company. Probably not what I thought would happen after I graduated...I had wanted to go into research or some fancy R&D dept but most of the jobs (at least around here in the Northeast US) lie within the analytical chemistry realm. Which is kind of funny because it was my least favorite sub discipline (I enjoyed organic and inorganic the most). I loved my orgo and inorganic labs. My professors were pretty awesome and the labs themselves were challenging yet rewarding. I kept all the material/reserach in the hopes that I can (maybe) return to school for my masters. And actually the company I work for now has a tuition reimbursement program so that may be a possibility soon.
In any case.... TLDR - Chemistry is awesome.

Slaving over a lab table > slaving over lab data
any. fucking. day.
I hope you can make it to something better that you like more, this made me sad about my future.

Synthetic organic chemistry! Hard core.
Are you trying to synthesize some particular compounds or isomers for your project?
