Just wondering, what term is used in the Commonwealth for a chemist who does not work in a drugstore or has nothing to do with pharmaceutical subjects? knoodelhed 11:11, 4 Apr 2004 (UTC)

A chemist! -- Necrothesp 20:11, 29 Jul 2004 (UTC)

[edit] article photo

The photo is great! No safety goggles, no gloves, no lab coat. What do we want to convey here? --68.231.48.106 09:03, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

I agree there is plenty of room for improvement. Here are two possibilities:

1. Synthetic chemist Julie Perkins works to link two molecules, each of which binds to two protein binding sites. The new molecule will bind more strongly and securely to a specific toxin protein than the individual molecules can. Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory photo.
2. A new fuel cell developed at Argonne, called TuffCell, provides mechanical strength, easy fabrication and increased performance. Argonne chemist Laura Miller prepares the TuffCell sample for testing. Chemist Cecile Rossignol works in the background. Argonne National Laboratory photo.

What is your preference? I'll add them both. --James S. 14:50, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] copyvio

Note: Mbuc91 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · block user · block log) copied Encarta's article on Chemistry [1] and some of the content of that article was merged into this one. I have merged the post-copyvio changes. —Quarl ^(talk) 2006-01-20 05:05Z

Gasp! Thanks! I had no idea. This is why Wikimedia Foundation needs legal indemnification. --James S. 05:24, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] advertising

I deleted the names from the photos. The photos were clearly put up for the purpose of promoting the two chemists Julie perkins and Laura miller. Neither have made groundbreaking discoveries in chemistry or were laureates of any scientific prize. Also, it is clear that both pictures were a collaboration of Julie perkins and laura Miller, as Perkins is seen sitting in the background of Luara Millers photo. I deleted the names from the photos, as it serves a purpose of promoting two chemists.

[edit] Do chemist use computers

Seriously, do they use computers for any reason: Working, writing, job resposibilities, knowledge or skills needed? Pece Kocovski 01:48, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

Why do you ask here. They do all of that and chemistry too! --Bduke 03:28, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] definition of organic chemistry

The definition of organic chemistry (and others) is circular. I prefer the one that organic chemistry deals with molecules containing carbon, generally, while inorganic is everything else. Granted there are obvious exceptions, but at least there is a start at what the field is. 4.246.233.243 22:00, 2 September 2007 (UTC)J Caroon
