All,
I'd like to invite you to check out and possibly participate in a
cheminformatics education project David Wild and I are working on, the
ChemInformatics OLCC, http://olcc.ccce.us/ . This project actually
originated from discussions during the BlueObelisk dinner of the 2010 Fall
ACS meeting in Boston, and we have NSF funds to support multiple
contributors. The above site is just getting off the ground and the video
at the bottom of the front page gives a fairly good description of the
project.
Many of you know me, I am not a cheminformatician but an educator (Associate
Professor), who feels there I is a great need to bring cheminformatic
competencies (and awareness) into the curriculum, and I hope many of you
will choose to participate in this intercollegiate project. There are many
facets to this endeavor and I will not attempt to describe them in this
email, but we do have funds to support "online guest lecturers" who are
willing to participate in the project and interact with students for a week
or two. All educational material developed will be open access. Please send
me a private email if you would like more information, rebelf...@ualr.edu.
Also, is anyone organizing a BO dinner for the upcoming ACS meeting in
Indianapolis? I am trying to organize a way for people involved with the
Cheminformatics OLCC to get together and it is looking like 7:00PM Monday
night will be the best time. Maybe meet at Harry's party and then go out. If
no one is organizing a BO dinner, would there be an interest in having one
then? As I said earlier, this project actually evolved out of a BO dinner
discussion in Boston.
Please contact David or myself if you would like further information or are
interested in being involved.
Respectfully,
Bob Belford
