UsefulChem Drexel MiniSymp (vodcast)

The chemistry department at Drexel had a minisymposium on Sept 27, 2006 from our faculty to educate our grad and undergrad students (and each other) as to what we were doing. The talks were limited to 15 minutes so it was a good way to get an overview of all the research projects.

My talk was about the UsefulChem project. It was similar to the one I gave at the ACS meeting a few weeks ago but a bit shorter at 13 minutes. Keeping in mind the diversity in the audience I tried to keep it fairly non technical. I showed examples of how we use blogs and wikis to do open source/open notebook science.

ACS UsefulChem talk (podcast)

Here is my talk at the American Chemical Society on September 14, 2006 in San Francisco. This is a fairly condensed summary of the UsefulChem project, with plenty of examples on how we use blogs and wikis to do open source science.

Interview with Jean-Claude Bradley

The students in Beth Ritter-Guth's Honors English 105 class interviewed Dr. Bradley about Open Source Science. The students are working on a project that traces the issues of malaria, AIDS, and arsenic from Dr. Bradley's lab at Drexel to children living in Kabala, Sierra Leone. The project, Community College without Borders, seeks to help students recognize the collaborative efforts of various disciplines in solving the world's greatest problems.
