  1. Networking and Chemistry 2013 Spring Term Zheng xin Building Professor Douglas Loy

  2. Curriculum Vitae: Professor Douglas A. Loy • BS Chemistry, University of Arizona, 1983 • MS Chemistry, Northern Arizona University, 1986 • Ph.D. Chemistry, University of California, Irvine, 1991 • Distinguished Member of Technical Staff, Sandia National Labs • Team Leader, NanoSynthesis, Los Alamos National Lab • Professor of Materials Science & Engineering and Chemistry and Biochemistry, University of Arizona • 11 patents, over 150 papers and proceedings

  3. About the class: Purpose: study and master the knowledge of networking and skill to search chemical information in the Internet. • Since the most advanced information in the Internet are written in English, the course is scheduled to teach in English

  4. About the class: (I) Course will include my four lectures: 1) Introduction to course & notes on good presentations, plus background on internet, 1st hour today 2) Searching chemical information on web 2nd hour today 3) Attending International conferences and preparing scientific papers for publication (using web) Next week 4) Summation of course, June 14th. (II) The remainder of the lectures will be student symposia.

  6. Presentation requirements • Powerpoint • In English • 13 minutes long, 4 minutes for questions

  7. Part 1. Giving effective presentations Douglas Loy Networking and Chemistry

  8. Presentations tell a story Beginning of talk: tell audience what they should learn Middle of talk: convince them End of talk: Reinforce message People like to hear a logical sequence of events leading to a satisfying conclusion

  9. Story telling tools • Visual-graphics • Strong load voice & eye contact • Slide title is a thesis for slide • Reinforced with bullets of information • Finish each slide with conclusion or transition Together these grab your audience’s attention and deliver your message more effectively

  10. Applying the KISS (Keep It Simple Silly) Principle • One concept or theme per slide • Try to keep it to 4 or 5 bullets max per slide • Simple, easy to understand graphics • Font greater than 18. Simple, easy to understand slides that focus will leave your audience with your message more effectively awful graphic

  11. No outlines in short talks • Absolutely useless for short talks (& most long ones) • Waste of time at best, Insulting at worst • If you must, make it a map for complicated presentations Boring!!! Talks can be “outlined” on the first slide But don’t waste your time or the audience with a special outline slide

  12. For historical background, use a time line graphic Bridged polysilsesquioxane sol-gel Solid state NMR 1860 1990 2010 1900 1930 1950 1970 2000 1880 1920 1940 1960 1980 Surfactant templated F. S. Kipping Eugene Rochow (GE)

  13. Don’t go overboard with details • Leave fine details for audience questions • Do not set yourself up for questions you can’t answer • Keep presentation at higher level (not the dreaded “graduate student seminar”) The corollary is that you should be identifying potential questions and organizing your answers before you present

  14. Keep your talk length under control • Start with one slide per minute • Practice and determine how many you will actually will need If you have too many your audience will not remember your message only your lack of preparation

  15. Conclusion slide is where you revisit key points from presentation • Do not save important points until conclusion • Paraphrase those points after introducing them earlier. • Can be the conclusion bullets from slides You can often end your summarizing the talks take home points by speculating about the future.

  16. Part 2: The Internet

  17. What you need to know about the internet: • Definition of internet • Computer architecture of internet • What are protocols; what do they do? • What POP, ISP and IP are; what do they do? • What are routers; what do they do? • What is a LAN ; what does it do? • What is an http ; what does it do? • How a browser and search engine are similar and different • What is a url ; what is it for? • What is the backbone of the internet ; what does it do? • What is the world wide web? • What is a firewall ; what does it do? • What is a VPN; what does it do?

  18. The internet • Network of computer systems spanning the globe. • Network of networks • Share a common protocol suite (TCP/IP) • > 2 billion users • Internet Engineering Task Force • Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers • Access to data (WWW) and communication (email) • No central administration

  19. Internet History • Packet research in 1960’s • ARPANET (DARPA-US), NPL (UK), CYCLADES (FR), Telenet (US), Tymnet (US) in early 1970’s • Computer Science Network (NSF, US,1982) • 1980’s TCP/IP standardization • NSFNET 1986 (10-50 kb/s) • ARPANET & NSFNET replaced by commercial internet corp.’s 1990’s • since 1990’s Email, video calls, blogs social networking, WWW, etc. (> 10 Gib/s).

  20. One more how the internet works slide Packets are the data fragment your request or answer is broken into for transit through the internet nodes interconnection points Servers store information routers are the brains of the internet:joins networks. insures info only goes where it is needed and that it does get there. Client is your phone, ipad, computer

  21. Search engines • Software designed to find (search) information on world wide web • Use webcrawler and indexing algorithms to keep up to data directory of data • Many commercial search engines (Google (89%),Yahoo, Baidu (62% in China)) • Scientific search engines: Web of Science, SciFinder, Google Scholar

  22. Part 3. Searching for chemical information on the internet

  23. What you need to know about searching for chemical information on the internet You need to know 1) what search engines are available (Scifinder, web of science, reaxys, Google scholar). 2) how to find Chemical Abstracts System numbers- they are assigned to each and every chemical. 3) how to search by author names and find all of their publications 4) how to find out where people worked by finding their resume or curriculum vita online. 5) how to search with keywords 6) that structure searching can be the best way to find a CAS number or all of the references there are for that compound. 7) How to find CAS #, alternative names, and citations for polymers. 8) How to search for reactions 9) How to search for patents 10) How to sort or down select citation lists by where, when, and for whom it was done 11) How to export citation lists to bibliographic software 12) How to find companies selling chemicals and their prices 13) How to find the first time something was done. 14) Sort by document type.
