and I just downed another 4 whole avocados in like 5 minutes 
btw are you settling well in your new place?
and I just downed another 4 whole avocados in like 5 minutes btw are you settling well in your new place?
They're good for you though. But 4?!
I just ate peanut butter on toast.
I need to go shopping because I don't actually have any healthy food left. Except 2 avocados.
Yes I am
I still can't quite believe I'm here. Today is my first day off that I haven't gone out visiting people and I'm quite bored. That's the only bad thing. It can sometimes get a bit lonely. I have made friends but obviously I can't spend every hour of the day with them. But yes it's all going well! Can't believe I'm not a student anymore.

We can make those cant we? After our degree
Of course. I already know how to turn cocaine into crack cocaine.
And I've made Aspirin, because that is hardcore stuff right there!

Well I'm on my.phone but my laptop is due back very soon.
I know. I'm awful at starting and maintaining conversations. Usually I bore people with something scientific.
How have you been?

yeah well i only have a GCSE in Chemistry, i do have an AS level in physics though :P

I didn't expect people to react quite like this... 
I might stay now. At least until the end of the thread.
I feel so loved!
And Jack, even if I do leave, I will still check this place regularly for the Council of Ladies.

Aw thought i was.going to get the supreme leader.role. I called you my.evil boss on an earlier post haha.
You should stay till the end of the thread.

Exactly Ohh which ad? I don't think I've seen it.
No way, I have a postcard on my wall with that exact saying on it.

The one where the brothers have separate factories for left twix and right twix :-P
I saw it on a fridge magnet a couple of years ago :-P that was the first opportunity I've had to use it...

Lulz, you'd never get that post. You're not good enough.
I did not see this post. I will get you back for that! I'm staying now, don't worry.

And I've made Aspirin, because that is hardcore stuff right there! We did paracetamol as a Pre-U practical, it was good fun
Sent it off for HPLC and had a contest as to who got the highest purity

And I've made Aspirin, because that is hardcore stuff right there! Erm crack cocaine and cocaine are the same thing :-P haha making aspirin was an assessed practical for edexcel A2 :-P

I can't remember why they're different, but they are.
I think it's something to do with an amino group...Original post by alex193

This is what I've copied and pasted.
This is one of my modules for next year - Introduction to Medicinal Chemistry.The module concentrates on disease and the impact of chemistry on the understanding of disease at the molecular level, and in terms of providing chemotherapeutic agents for the prevention, control and cure of disease. All aspects of chemistry, including organic, inorganic, physical, biological and structural will be included. We will begin with a historical overview of the development and major achievements of chemotherapy and go on to consider the molecular basis of disease and disease pathways. The course will conclude by focusing specifically on cancer, looking at current and potential drugs. In addition three topic workshops will be held.
Learning Objectives:
to understand the importance of chemical approaches to target disease
to understand selected disease pathways
to study the biological action of cancer therapeutics
to understand the role of targeted drug delivery in developing new
chemotherapeutics
Topics
An Introduction to Chemotherapy, Drug Metabolism and Delivery
Initially this set of lectures will give an overview of the historical development of medicinal chemistry and chemotherapy. Focus will then be on the way in which a pharmaceutical interacts with the human body - the problems this can cause, and the opportunities it can provide for more efficient therapy via targeted drug delivery.
8 lectures
Introduction to the Molecular Basis of Diseases
This set of lectures will focus on an explanation of the key molecular aspects of human physiology. The course will cover general classification of the diseases (infections, genetic, complex, protein aggregation/misfolding) and will give a short survey of the main types of genetic diseases. The course will also cover the fundamentals of immune, innate and adaptive responses to disease.
Cancer Chemotherapy
An exploration of current (and potential) cancer therapeutics. This will include drugs that act on DNA (DNA alkylating agents, crosslinkers, intercalating agents, and antisense therapy), drugs that act on structural proteins (taxol, epothiolones), on receptors (tamoxifen) and on enzymes (fluorouracil, methotrexate). We will also look at biological prodrugs in specific relation to cancer chemotherapy (ADEPT/GDEPT-antibody and gene directed prodrug therapy).
Assessment
1½ h written paper (70%) plus continuous assessment (30%): three workshops will contribute 7% each and a written article, 9%. The three workshops will be associated with each of the three topics. Three workshops will be assessed by a multichoice quiz based on both the lecture course and material covered in the workshop and assessment of preassigned questions. In addition, a 1 page article suitable for an A-level student (9%) will be prepared on one topic chosen from a selection related to the course.

Some of that sounds interesting to me, but biology was my weakest science (which im sure this would dabble in) also i'm rather squeamish
