a chemist s laboratory notebook skip to main skip to sidebar a chemist s laboratory notebook tuesday july 14 2009 free radicals translation free radicals are everywhere this is my daily weather website for the past month or so the advertisement at the top of page has been for zellschutz translation cell protection pills according to the manufacturer s website they contain a protective mixture of vitamins c and e coenzyme q10 selenium and natural extracts from pomegranate grapefruit and green tea can antioxidants prolong your life and offer cellular protection i think the verdict is still out on that but i do think it s funny that they ve made the free radicals look like scary little bugs they kind of look like bacteria maybe but certainly not free radicals posted by amanda at 2

longer in high demand print subscriptions down 50 in just 2 years is quite a loss so to save costs they will be printing 4 columns of text on just one page from the image on the website it looks like the articles will be printed in landscape format with the page turned 90 degrees and shrunken in size i don t know about everyone else but i am a big fan of real paper issues of journals it is nice to just sit down with the newest issue of any journal and flip through the pages stopping if something catches my eye sometimes i end up reading some really interesting and off topic research that way you can t just flip through the electronic version like that sure if i m looking for a particular compound or searching for a synthesis i prefer the electronic version yes i agree that there are many benefits to the electronic version of any journal but those rare times when i have a bit of free time and the geek in me actually wants to read about chemistry i d rather sit down at my desk and flip through the paper version if i need to squint and get out my magnifying glass just to read the articles i won t be able to enjoy that time any more they try to make this sound better by saying that the new format is environmentally friendly factoid an annual subscription to all acs journals weighs more than ½ ton i do like the idea of saving the environment don t get me started but i don t really know that a condensed format journal is the way to go if they really wanted to promote long term sustainability they would eliminate the print version of the journal completely maybe i m a little old fashioned but i m sad that paper is going out of style after a quick search i also found this article on the chemistry blog about condensed print posted by amanda at 2 24 pm 67 comments wednesday july 1 2009 happy birthday kind of well it s not exactly my birthday but it is my 1 year ph d birthday and that is certainly worth writing about it is really difficult to believe that one year ago around this time i was out celebrating the new title and enjoying every second of it other than my wedding day the day of my final defense was one of the most memorable of my life so what has changed in the last year other than my new job in a new country not much well i guess there is a new addition to the family but you can see he fits right in hopefully now that i ve settled into my new job i will have a little more time to write here once again posted by amanda at 3 00 pm 21 comments saturday june 14 2008 this is your desk this is your desk in grad school this is your desk in grad school 2 weeks before your final defense posted by amanda at 6 58 pm 32 comments monday june 9 2008 periodic table of fruits and nuts and periodic table of vegetables does it make me a big dork because i want the periodic table of vegetables for my new kitchen the periodic table of fruits and nuts is pretty nice too posted by amanda at 12 42 pm 11 comments thursday may 29 2008 plants and your health it s getting to be the time of year when i like to start putting all of my plants outside on the balcony usually i also like to plant a couple of windowboxes full of petunias add a couple of tomato plants and i am set for the summer this year though with my final defense set for july 1 gasp i don t have time for any of this enjoying the sun nonsense instead i m limited to reading here about plants that are good for your heath who ever thought that my spider plant could be cancel out the effects of the formaldehyde potentially found in my clothes or that a gerbera daisy could protect me from the benzene in inks not sure about the accuracy of these statements i d love to know their sources but it is cool to think that my overabundance of plants more than 20 in 600 sq feet is good for something other than just improving my mood posted by amanda at 7 27 pm 18 comments saturday march 15 2008 legal problems of ph d s in germany as some of you may know already my husband is german so what i read last night in c en don t you think it is ridiculous that i often don t get c en until friday really shocked me apparently some internationally trained non eu scientists in germany are facing charges for using the title dr on their websites and business cards before i started reading i was sure that it must be something to do with the fact that the dr title might be confused with a medical doctor in a foreign country but as i read further i realized this wasn t the case according to spiegel this law stems from 1939 and in simplified terms states that foreign degrees are suspicious and need to be verified in those times such a law might have made sense but now it just seems outdated luckily the german government has already started to fix things up at a conference in berlin last week see point 5 it was decided that an american ph d s can use the dr prefix in germany as long as their degree was granted from an institution recognized by the carnegie
