A new look was needed in this site! and some more changes will be made in the next few days. A new page was added with the topics of the courses I’ve taught here at UAEMex, namely QSAR and Molecular Modeling. Another page was added for you all to leave questions which are hard to fit into other places of this blog.
Natural Bond orbitals NBO model troubleshooting for Gaussian 03, computational chemistry; population analysis; electronic structure calculations; G03; G09; ab initio calculations; molecular modeling
For over twenty years, there has been an ongoing scientific collaboration between the Institute of Chemistry of the National Autonomous University of Mexico and the Faculty of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering of the Babes-Bolyai University located in the city of Cluj-Napoca, Romania.
The Institute of Chemistry of the National Autonomous University of Mexico becomes 70 years old this month, and to kickoff the year round celebrations our institution has organized a series of lectures with the notable presence of Nobel Laureate, and former student of this institute, prof. Dr. Mario Molina whose presence has become ubiquitous within the Mexican scientific community events given his status.
Last week I had a presentation at the Chemistry Institute in which I talked about the research I’ve been doing during the last year. Here I insert a link to my prezi presentation in which I make an outline of the project’s scope and goals, so not many results available yet.
When I heard the learn’d astronomer; When the proofs, the figures, were ranged in columns before me; When I was shown the charts and the diagrams, to add, divide, and measure them; When I, sitting, heard the astronomer, where he lectured with much applause in the lecture-room, How soon, unaccountable, I became tired and sick; […]
Next week, on december 8th, the Joint Center for Research in Sustainable Chemistry (to which I am ascribed) will host a Symposium on Green and Sustainable Chemistry in which German Alumni -almost exclusively from Mexico- will participate with talks on the impact and development of new techniques on green chemistry. We’ll be honored with the visit of Prof. Dr. Reinhard.
In April 2006, during a IUPAC Executive Committee meeting, the idea for an international year of was first discussed.
It is widely known by now, the existence of a list called “The Chuck Norris facts” in which macho attributes of this eighties redneck action hero are exacerbated for the sake of humor. The list includes such amusing facts like: “Chuck Norris doesn’t eat honey, he chews bees” “When Chuck Norris does a pushup, he’s pushing the Earth down” “Chuck Norris counted to infinity;
Around early October the scientific community -or at least part of it- starts getting excited about what could be considered the most prestigious award a scientist could ever achieve: The Nobel Prize. The three categories that interest me the most are: Chemistry, Physics and Literature.
I usually read the whole info on the Statistics page that WordPress provides to this blog in order to know how many visitors drop by during the week; what other sites are sending me some traffic, if any, or what searches are readers performing which leads them to my blog. Last week I found this post title as one of the Google searches that ultimately made someone find my blog.
