Bill Erb Thesis Defense
14/06/2007
Bill Erb's thesis defense on June 12, 2007 at the Drexel University Chemistry Department. Exploration of the Fundamentals of Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry This thesis focuses on the study of different tools that can be used for preparing samples for matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI TOFMS) and utilizing these tools to study different ionization processes that are operating in the MALDI experiment. audio (mp3) Flash Screencast m4v playable on video ipod
BCLA Open Notebook Science and the Library
19/04/2007
This is my April 19, 2007 presentation at the British Columbia Library Association Conference on Open Access. There was only time to do a brief introduction about trends in openness in education and research and how that might affect the needs of scientists in publishing and finding information. I also showed a few screenshots of UsefulChem near the end. Thanks to Heather Morrison for the invitation! audio (mp3) Flash Screencast Powerpoint
Open Notebook Science and Education
19/04/2007
This is my presentation on April 17, 2007 at the Chemical Heritage Foundation in Philadelphia, PA. I describe Open Notebook Science in the context of education and argue that trends in open education, open science and automation will change the educational landscape in the near future. audio (mp3) Flash screencast Powerpoint
Open Notebook Science ACS March07 (JCB)
28/03/2007
Here is my talk "Open Notebook Science using Blogs and Wikis" at the American Chemical Society meeting in Chicago on March 27, 2007 at the Communicating Chemistry Symposium. The first half is basically a condensed summary of how we are using UsefulChem to do Open Science. I then demonstrate for the first time Dave's Excel code to compute kinetics from JCAMP NMR reaction profiles and the building in Second Life where Beth and Eloise have help me to set up a poster room with NMR spectra, molecules and an organic chemistry quiz. audio (mp3) streaming Flash screencast Powerpoint
Teaching Organic Chemistry with Blogs and Wikis (JCBMarch07)
26/03/2007
This is my first talk at the American Chemical Society conference in Chicago on March 25, 2007. I describe the evolution of my teaching practices using technology over the past few years, involving blogs, wikis, podcasting, vodcasting, games and class workshops. audio podcast (mp3) streaming Flash screencast Powerpoint
