To be discussed
The following content might be considered, and included if there is consensus support:
- Advice and assistance with career planning, interview training, job hunting.
- Current chemistry conferences, etc.
- Chemistry dictionary
- Chemistry news
- Chemistry in the world
- Research groups - grad students share/discuss results within a research group - requires a password protected area.
- Pharmaceuticals
- Journal club - highlighting and summarising any interesting new articles
- Open notebook science
- Chemistry related puzzles, mechanism problems, chemistry-related "fun".
- Chemical industry information - Information about chemical companies, takeovers, new plants, etc.
- Sourcing of chemicals (Where can I buy this from?) This would need to be comprehensive, to be NPOV; or could it be considered as a possible revenue source?
