Hello again, and thanks for another great #RealTimeChem day over on twitter!

We’ll briefly be on hiatus from posting here while our Community Manager gets married! But keep checking twitter and stay tuned for a monster wrap-up at the end of #RealTimeChem week! On to the latest posts:

First, some entries for #FutureTimeChem today. I hope to see even more over the course of the week– can I get some Nobel predictions for 2030??

• For #openscience and #OAWeek, Martin Stoermer gives us a vision of a transparent OA Portal, to give the public access to awarded grants.

• And more thanks to Peter Kenny (@pwk2013), who has gone into his archive to give us these glimpses of the future (this may qualify as both old and new!):

Molecular Design for the future of drug discovery – and a shift in focus from fragment-based efforts
• Going deeper on this theme, Peter explores the evolving relationship between computational chemists and medicinal chemists
• And he points us to a 2012 JCAMD Special Issue, which explores the outlook for the next 25 years in the field.

And #OldTimeChem continues to fascinate!

• Also from Martin Stoermer ‏(@MartinStoermer), an interesting read on Steam distillation with brass kettles and burners going at the bench!

In #CurrentTimeChem — ICYMI:

• Today’s @CompoundChem winner is R. Silverman (@heterocat), for work using ester molecules to trap oil (for instance) into gels that can be easily extracted from the environment. Incredible! See the graphic and more here: wp.me/s4aPLT-rtcweek2 

• AND, just announced, “The Great #RealTimeChem Cook Off”! Speaking totally objectively, this is AWESOME and I can’t wait to see the results.

• Finally, my two votes for Tweet of the Day, both from pyroenthusiasts! Courtesy Andres Tretiakov (@Andrestrujado) and Rachel Coulter (@rusty_roch):

Did I miss anything? Let me know at k.birtcher@elsevier.com. Thanks to all the Day 2 Bloggers and Tweeters!

Missed Day 1? See the wrap up here.

Get a refresher on the #OldTimeChem & #FutureTimeChem here, and more about the awesome badges from Nicola Burton (formerly on Twitter as @Elements_UD and creator of Elements Unleashed) AND the great prizes from @RealTimeChem for top tweets this week, here!

Chemistry

A field as broad as chemistry is cross-disciplinary by nature. Chemistry researchers, in their work or study, may encounter issues in materials science, biochemistry, chemical engineering, or a wide range of other disciplines. In addition to the major areas of organic and inorganic chemistry, Elsevier content covers advanced topics such as quantum chemistry, analytical chemistry, physical and theoretical chemistry, energy generation and storage, nano-chemistry, surface and interface chemistry, and environmental chemistry. This content is available over a spectrum of formats that includes journals, books, eBooks, undergraduate textbooks, multi-volume reference works, and innovative databases and online products like Reaxys.
