RealTimeChem Week 2018

#RealTimeChem Week 2018 – #Chem4Life

RealTimeChem Week 2018

This week (12-18 November) is #RealTimeChem Week! For the unaware, #RealTimChem is a chemistry community on Twitter that encourages chemists to tweet about their chemistry. As in previous years, I put together the banners to promote this year’s event which has the theme #Chem4Life. As part of it, chemists in the community will be celebrating the chemistry you come across every day – so it’s worth checking out even if you’re not a chemist yourself!

RTCW5 – Forging Molecules with Light

RTC Week 2015 – #5: Forging Molecules Using Light

This week (19th Oct–24th October) is Real Time Chem Week (if that means nothing to you,check out their FAQ page here!). As part of it, we’re featuring the RTC Week competition-winning entries of five different chemists here on Compound Interest, with a different feature every day this week. Today’s final feature takes a look at how we can use light to create giant molecules for a whole range of applications, from dental fillings to sticky coatings.

RTCW3 – Atmospheric Organic Nitrogen

RTC Week 2015 – #3: Nitrogen-Containing Atmospheric Pollutants

This week (19th Oct–24th October) is Real Time Chem Week (if that means nothing to you,check out their FAQ page here!). As part of it, we’re featuring the RTC Week competition-winning entries of five different chemists here on Compound Interest, with a different feature every day this week. Today’s feature takes a look at how what happens to the nitrogen-containing compounds released into the atmosphere by both natural and industrial processes, and considers some of the health effects they can cause.

RTCW – Isotope Geochemistry

RTC Week 2015 – #1: Isotopes & The Search For Life

This week (19th Oct–24th October) is Real Time Chem Week (if that means nothing to you, check out their FAQ page here!). As part of this week, I thought it’d be fun to get chemists working in research to communicate some of what their research involves, and why it matters to non-chemists, here on the CI site. The incentive? They’d also get a graphic made, based on their research, for their trouble.
