Here is my talk "Open Notebook Science using Blogs and Wikis" at the American Chemical Society meeting in Chicago on March 27, 2007 at the Communicating Chemistry Symposium. The first half is basically a condensed summary of how we are using UsefulChem to do Open Science. I then demonstrate for the first time Dave's Excel code to compute kinetics from JCAMP NMR reaction profiles and the building in Second Life where Beth and Eloise have help me to set up a poster room with NMR spectra, molecules and an organic chemistry quiz.
