Training chemistry

An example of a chemistry curriculum, taught by a traditionally trained chemistry staff member, can be found in Figure 1 A Chemistry course for nurses. 

Thus, chemoinformatics specialists will continue to be in high demand. This asks both for the training of chemoinformatics specialists and for incorporation of the essential features of chemoinformatics into regular chemistry - and informatics - curricula. 

The central message of chemistry is that the prop erties of a substance come from its structure What is less obvious but very powerful is the corollary Someone with training m chemistry can look at the structure of a substance and tell you a lot about its properties Organic chemistry has always been and continues to be the branch of chemistry that best connects structure with properties Our objective has been to emphasize the con nection between structure and properties using the tools best suited to make that connection... 

Training in each of these fields provides a unique perspective to the study of chemistry. Undergraduate chemistry courses and textbooks are more than a collection of facts they are a kind of apprenticeship. In keeping with this spirit, this text introduces the field of analytical chemistry and the unique perspectives that analytical chemists bring to the study of chemistry. 

The development of precise and reproducible methods of sensory analysis is prerequisite to the determination of what causes flavor, or the study of flavor chemistry. Knowing what chemical compounds are responsible for flavor allows the development of analytical techniques using chemistry rather than human subjects to characterize flavor (38,39). Routine analysis in most food production for the quaUty control of flavor is rare (40). Once standards for each flavor quaUty have been synthesized or isolated, they can also be used to train people to do more rigorous descriptive analyses. 

To keep this book to a convenient size, and bearing in mind that its most likely users will be laboratory-trained, we have omitted manipulative details with which they can be assumed to be familiar, and also detailed theoretical discussion. Both are readily available elsewhere, for example in Vogel s very useful book Practical Organic Chemistry (Longmans, London, 3rd ed., 1956), or Fieser s Experiments in Organic Chemistry (Heath, Boston, 3rd ed, 1957). 

The viewpoint of this book is first that most of the students who elect to receive some training in air pollution will have previously taken courses in chemistry at the high school or university level, and that those few who have not would be well advised to defer the study of air pollution until they catch up on their chemistry. 

Smith himself stimulated many researchers but, though he wrote a celebrated paper on the evolution of microstructure, did not take any graduate students, and so he did not perhaps initially perceive the implications of the fact that large numbers of doctoral students came from the university s physics and chemistry departments to work with some of the permanent Institute staff... but there were no metallurgically trained students to draw on. Some of the Institute staff became closely involved with the physics or chemistry departments, and one even became chairman of the physics department. A consequence of this situation was that Smith could not attract further metallurgists to join the Institute, and junior metallurgists who came for short... 

Experience has shown that reactive chemistry hazards are sometimes undetected during bench scale and pilot plant development of new products and processes. Reactive chemistry hazards must be identified so they can be addressed in the inherent safety review process. Chemists should be encouraged and trained to explore reactive chemistry of "off-normal operations. Simple reactive chemicals screening tools, such as the interactions matrix described in Section 4.2, can be used by R D chemists. 

The power of TLC is in its flexibility as a problem solving tool. As the problems in analysis become more complicated the sophistication by which we approach those problems is ever increasing. However, it behooves us as analytical chemists not to forget our fundamental training in chemistry and to apply those principles to today s problems. It is just this feature that the reader will find instilled into this book.

Ipatieffs formal training in chemistry began in earnest when, at the age of twenty-two, he entered the Mikhail Ai tillery Academy in St. Petersburg. The Academy was founded to give technical training to officers who were to senx as engineers and in other positions within the Russian militaiy.
