Below are a few selected ones that has been added recently:

• General resources and Organizations:

  • Diversify Chemistry: highlighting the diverse community of chemists, aiming to help symposium organizers, award committees, search committees, etc. identify chemists who might diversify their pool.
  • Female Organic Chemists: Female Organic Chemists website and Female Organic Chemists in University Settings (FOCUS) database to highlight women in the field of organic chemistry. FOCUS database contains over 800 scientists representing over 35 countries.
  • The Scoopula: A website founded to increase the accessibility of general advice, guidance, and resources for pursuing graduate school in chemistry.
    
    

• Tools, Info, Lab Techniques:

  • Prof. Jérôme Waser group Useful Links page: multiple resources for working in the lab: Lab Treatment of Waste Chemicals, Stability of Diazo Compounds and Diazo Transfer Reagents,Working with Nitrogen Line, Titration of Organolithium, Transfer of Chemicals Using Syringes, Cooling Baths, TLC Stains, Solvent Degassing by Freeze-Pump-Thaw, and Gas Handling
  • Solvent Degassing: from NotVoodoo
  • Solvent Strength Translator: predict a solvent system composition that would give similar eluotropic strength.
    
    

• Courses, Handout, Problem sets:

  • Sigman Group MLR Short Course: describes the basic process the Sigman group uses to build multivariate linear regression models that describe chemical systems. This series is meant to be a starting point for chemists interested in using data science to study organic chemistry.
  • 'Synthetic Design' (Prof. Dirk Trauner, New York University): course focuses on organic reactions, reaction mechanisms, and the strategic applications of reactions in organic synthesis.
  • University of Utah, Dept of Chemistry Synthesis Club: provides students a platform to hone their presentation skills and get exposure to relevant synthetic topics outside the focus of their research project(s). This website includes seminar slides, problem sets, reagents/named reactions slides.
  • NMR Problems - Rainer Haeßner: sets of NMR problems and with interactive walk-through solutions. An overview of all problems can be viewed on this page.
    
    

• Tutorials:

  • MolSSI Education Resources: Free online tutorial materials including Programming, Software Development, and Computational Molecular Science.
  • Nadia Laschuk tutorial videos: tutorials for beginner for ChemDraw, Origin, Mnova, Topspin.
  • CGFigures (Dr. Joseph G. Manion): Blender tutorials for scientists trying to get started with 3D software to make better figures.
