We&#39;re a public, PUI (primarily undergraduate institution) in the state of Ohio (USA).<br/><br/>I’ve drafted a guide here: <a href="https://gist.github.com/QuantumDot2/abe4f68de4c9939b8bb99145948cc3af">https://gist.github.com/QuantumDot2/abe4f68de4c9939b8bb99145948cc3af</a> and am curious whether anyone sees any glaring missing resources, or can recommend any additions?<br/><br/>We can&#39;t afford any nice databases (SciFinder, Reaxys, etc.). We do have CRC handbook e-access plus ChemDraw, as well as the state&#39;s OhioLINK library consortium.<br/><br/>Thanks!<br/><br/>#Chemistry #Chemiverse 2025-08-12T17:43:11Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs9lfjz02hyclkyv049ze2vntuswfr62azpqv2w7fzr7keqcv753kqzypp8dgert4ypcr0qj7lr795pvxgt66xkljljlucm53sz2urpgp805gmkqu7 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqstnfelupm2204pa8hcwd74tam8sef2amxh7m2e6jp5u8rq0ehyamst5re8v'>nevent1q…re8v</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Of some chemical interest: an organic compound with a CAS number of 139755-83-2 underwent a clinical trial for angina involving men from Merthyr Tydfil back in the 90s.<br/><br/>I hear one of the reported side-effects lead to it being repurposed to treat something else. 2025-08-07T00:44:04Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs06pp5qqsyw6ywcxhrrt98896nnuqvf3ddqzwwg0t2cqvkar30r2qzypp8dgert4ypcr0qj7lr795pvxgt66xkljljlucm53sz2urpgp805p658p4 My goodness—I did not know that skatole (component of... well, you can guess) is used as a flavor enhancer in ice cream! 🤯<br/><br/><a href="https://www.chm.bris.ac.uk/motm/skatole/skatolec.htm">https://www.chm.bris.ac.uk/motm/skatole/skatolec.htm</a><br/><a href="https://mstdn.social/@compoundchem/114886960264998913">https://mstdn.social/@compoundchem/114886960264998913</a> 2025-07-20T20:55:54Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsd20r9ukxjfx25gpfrjnhut4kpspsf47zgkuywuuxfw38cjgzn9lqzypp8dgert4ypcr0qj7lr795pvxgt66xkljljlucm53sz2urpgp805sqr69a In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqstuajlhdmlvlvvf45ce6tw5cm90te9eeapyhtjh85ecuksvljz7ygdw95x0'>nevent1q…95x0</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I love that you come prepared for coffee!
