sometimes it’s not easy naming molecules…
September 26, 2007 — jmgsSomeone had the idea of searching up molecules which have “unusual” names that somewhat resemble other things. For instance, did you know that there is a molecule called “arsole”? Or that there is another one called “megaphone”? or even a “pterodactyladiene”?

just one example:
“Mirasorvone: This molecule is part of the defensive chemistry of Thermonectus marmoratus, a beetle
recently named the “sunburst diving beetle”. The discoverers’ at Cornell University named it in honour of the actress Mira Sorvino (right), who, as Dr Susan Tyler in the motion picture Mimic, successfully confronted the
ultimate insect challenge.”
Essentials for scientific communications
March 8, 2007 — jmgsWe all know that an important part of the scientific work is related to communicating your findings to your peers. So here are a couple of texts on the subject (from the “Improbable research” site). I hope you find them useful .
“How to write a scientific paper“, by E. Robert Schulman
” How To Make a Scientific Lecture Unbearable” , by Alexander Khon
