Chemistry Concepts in Second Life - Bradley/Lang

This is a co-presentation by Jean-Claude Bradley and Andrew Lang on August 18, 2008 at the American Chemical Society conference in Philadelphia. The focus is on many of the tools available to easily demonstrate chemistry concepts in Second Life such as 3D molecules, reaction mechanisms, docking, organic chemistry quizzes, 5D graphs, the ACS museum featuring an HIV exhibit, the red tide phenomenon and many others. Most of the content on display rests on ACS island, Drexel Island and Nature's Second Nature island in Second Life.

Open Notebook Science - Falcipain-2 Preliminary Results

This talk was presented by Jean-Claude Bradley at the American Chemical Society meeting in Philadelphia on August 20, 2008. An introduction to Open Notebook Science is presented followed by an illustration of how ONS can be used in drug discovery. New data relating to the anti-malarial activity of Ugi products on 2 falcipain-2 docking sites is detailed. The docking calculations were provided by Rajarshi Guha and the enzyme and in vitro assays on Plasmodium falciparum were provided by Phil Rosenthal and Jiri Gut. Most of the syntheses were carried out by Khalid Mirza in the Bradley group.

Second Life and Social Media: Networking Goldmine or Time Sink?

Update: transcript available

This talk was presented by Jean-Claude Bradley at the American Chemical Society meeting in Philadelphia on August 18, 2008.

This is an overview of how social media and Second Life can be used to productively network. Prominent recent examples involving Deepak Singh, Bora Zivkovic, Beth Ritter-Guth and others are highlighted. Then Second Life content that enables collaboration, especially in chemistry, is detailed. The presentation ends with an example of hyper-networking using FriendFeed followed by a few words from Andrew Lang from ORU and Sandy Adam from Sigma-Aldrich.
