    What a pitty... Is there really not a member who is VERY interesting in chemistry?
    Is there not a member who want to talk about one? I'm bored...
    There's quite a few regulars here who are advanced in various areas of chemistry. They might be around.

    Right now, there's no area of chemistry of which I particularly like. I'm interested in medicinal chemistry though.

    That sounds interesting. I'm interesting in structure of atomic time and time again.
    I can't believe that a particle is soooo unimaginably small and consists of smaller particle charge. Do you know for instance a compound between a neutron and proton need an energy over 250,000 J to disrupt them? that is a fair bit of energy.
    A mountaineer for instance need so much to climb a mountain. Is it not fascinating?

    I'm also interesting in organic chemistry...

    Time out! It's taken me a bit longer than I had hoped to get everything together so my plans are a bit ruined (as normal, I should stop making plans). Hopefully after some time away from research I'll wait to see if I miss it or whether I'm actually sick of it and go from there :awesome:

    Things never seem to go well enough for people to get an optimistic reply when they ask how things are going... I'm more hopeful than normal at the moment, though!

    Most of it seem to involve maths right now. The only chemistry module that doesn't is organic!

    Which is why organic is the best sort of chemistry!
