Style guide for chemistry
ø
STLQ points to
Australian professor Kiernan L. Kim’s Chemistry Style Manual
(2004), of which you may download one copy, according to
the copyright notice. ACS published its latest guide in 1997, if
my information is correct, so this is a timely find.
On the value of weblogs for non-profit organizations

Among other benefits, this two-part article points out the ease of
frequent weblog publishing, blogs’ usefulness for ongoing projects, and
the potential for one to generate information authority on a particular
topic. (thanks to Steven Cohen, Library Stuff)
ACS symposium on single molecule and single cell spectroscopy
ø
Looks as though everybody and his postdoc from the single molecule
spectrsocopy community will be presenting at the ACS symposium,
Biophysical Chemistry and Novel Imaging of Single Molecules and Single
Cells, taking place next week in Philadelphia. This has been a
big area of research at Rowland, and Amit Meller’s group
will be among those presenting in Philly. The topic has gotten
considerable attention recently; for a while, an entire journal was
devoted to it, Wiley’s Single Molecules. Also, the Journal of Chemical Physics and Science, to name a couple, have dedicated sections of issues to single molecule studies. Meanwhile, Kwonmoo Lee has compiled a listing of single molecule biophysics research group websites.
Guide for new science faculty and postdocs
ø
Making the Right Moves, a
guide published by the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, is a handbook
for getting and navigating an academic science faculty and research
position. Its components include advice on getting a position,
articulating your research goals, staffing, funding, publishing and
tech transfer, among other subjects. Thanks to Simon Rainville, a
Rowland researcher, for pointing this out.
