There are a few hobby chemists here who would gladly give you suggestions for work arounds if you wanted to try something new. You've not said anything that makes me think your idea is any less of a terrible one.

John Cuthber, I removed the video clip by Monday as it was raised in a report. I do agree with what you're saying and hadn't in fact realised the nature of the video in the OP until Moontanman PM'd me earlier about it. I've since raised the issue with staff, though I personally don't have so much of an issue with the OP; though somewhat offensive in it's satirical approach to drive the point home, it at least has a point from which members have been able to draw discussion, whereas the video posted by Monday did not. I was under the impression that the video was less about WBC, a group that is disdained by most Americans and others around the globe, and more about using WBC to illustrate how similar they are in terms of their hatred and bigotry to conservative Christian groups, who are widely accepted by society to the point of being considered the norm.

! Moderator Note Mondays Assignment: Die, Posting videos that are designed to be offensive to a group or groups of people is a violation of a SFN's rule 1c., which states: ! Moderator Note I've removed the video, but please be more wary of this in the future.

I don't have much to say on most of this thread as inorganic isn't really my area, but do make sure you're being extremely cautious with concentrating H2O2. IMO, unless you need to use higher concentration H2O2 for something specific, I'd avoid it altogether. If you do need it for something, freezing would be a better option as it won't decompose as much and it's less likely to set you, your garage and/or house on fire.

! Moderator Note ZVBXRPL, As with this mod note issued to you by swansont, please do not hijack other threads with your own pet ideas. Stick to the topic and keep your speculations in your own thread.

! Moderator Note ZVBXRPL, Tone down the offensive language and appeal to emotion. If you can't make your point without resorting to such tactics, then perhaps you should look at whether you had a point to begin with.

! Moderator Note ZVBXRPL, Your strawman argument here and the trolling here and elsewhere on the forum is not acceptable. As well, labeling soldiers as murderers is a violation of rule 1c. It would be in your best interest to review the forum rules, which you agreed to upon signing up to SFN, before posting here in future.

! Moderator Note This thread is not the place for every crank to air out their own ideas about the universe; it is about JDizz's idea only. Could the numerous people who have jumped onto this thread to hijack it with their own speculations please stop and allow the thread to get back on track.

! Moderator Note Thread moved to Speculations.

! Moderator Note One thread per topic, please. Thread closed.

! Moderator Note spoirer, Please keep your posts free of insulting comments.

! Moderator Note Topic split from, 'Is this at all possible.'

! Moderator Note I've split the last 3 posts from this into a new thread, found here. Please try to keep this on topic.

! Moderator Note ms.math, I'm going to echo a few others who have posted here and ask you not to treat the forum as your own blog. You are welcome to start a blog and post whatever you like, but if you intend to post content here, you need to be aware that we have rules about soap boxing and being unresponsive to the questions asked of you. If you can't start to make any real attempts at responding to people, this thread will be closed.

! Moderator Note Due to a lack of response by the OP and since this thread does not appear to be aimed at discussion, I'm closing it. Vignesh, please be aware that soap boxing is not permitted as per SFN's site rules. And once again, plagiarising the work of others is in no way acceptable.

You need to think about this in terms of equilibrium and what factors push an equilibrium in either direction. Also, since I assume this is homework, I'm moving it to the homework section.

! Moderator Note Back on topic, please.

Couldn't agree more. I meant that you should keep your feet in biology courses in undergrad, specifically molecular cell biology and biochemistry (as mentioned by CharonY). I'm not as familiar with the US system, but I know that in Australia that you wouldn't really need a piece of paper to say you have qualifications in biology, provided you have your BSc. If you have the relevant background education and better still, if you have experience working in molecular cell biology or biochemistry based labs, whether or not you have chemistry or biochemistry as your major shouldn't really matter. I'm not sure what you mean by your first sentence, so I apologise if I'm off base here. A lack of biology knowledge won't guarantee you fail, but it will mean much more effort on your part as well as making it harder to get into the exact research you want. It depends largely on what type of projects they're doing and how the group operates. MChem may well be enough, but the best way to find out would be to contact the supervisor of the group directly.

! Moderator Note Your version of the truth is hijacking in this thread. Any more posts that are not on topic will be removed.

! Moderator Note Since gravitational-aether has been banned as a sock puppet, this thread no longer has any reaosn to be open, so I'm closing it.

! Moderator Note I've removed the last 10 posts from this thread in accordance with my last mod note. Please stop derailing this thread. edit: (swansont) more OT posts have been removed

To my mind, it would depend less on your undergrad experiences and more on your post graduate work. Though anecdotal, I had a professor in undergrad that was (and is) a leading plant biologist, despite having done his undergrad in quantum mathematics. Similarly, there's no reason why you can't get into cancer research through a chemistry degree; the two areas are very compatible with one another. I would even go so far as to say that doing a chemistry degree (while keeping a solid grounding in biology) would potentially be beneficial to you, depending on exactly what kind of research you wanted to get in to. As for recent literature, I can tell you that for chemistry, most ACS publications are a good start, as are journals such as Agnewante Chemie and Eu JOC. I'm not so sure on other areas, though you might get a good idea of this by looking at a list of journals by impact factor and going from there.

! Moderator Note gravitational-aether, You've managed to go against my warning within minutes of my posting it. Anything else that you post in this thread about the double slit experiment or anything barely related to this thread will be removed. Keep in mind also that staff will consider suspension if you continue this.

! Moderator Note gravitational-aether, Please be aware that thread hijacking / derailment is against the rules of this forum. As such, I ask that you please stick to the topic as presented in the OP and discontinue your efforts to hijack this thread with your own pet theories / nonsense. You already have your very own thread for that. Do not respond to this mod note within the thread. If you wish to discuss it or if you take issue with it in some way, please use our report feature to notify staff or send a PM.
