The Impact of Information Technology on Chemistry and Related SciencesAshutosh Jogalekar
This is a copy of an invited talk I gave at the ACS meeting in Dallas in March 2014. The talk was about the impact of information technology on chemistry and related sciences. I interpreted 'information technology' broadly and divided the talk into three sections: Data, Simulation and Sociology.
'Data' talks about how chemical information has grown exponentially and how chemists are coming up with new techniques to store, organize and understand this information.
'Simulation' talks about how chemists are using the last two decades' spectacular progress in hardware and software to understand the behavior of molecules in a variety of applications ranging from drug design to new materials.
'Sociology' talks about the impact of blogs and social media on the practice of chemistry. More specifically I talk about how social media is serving as a 'second tier' of peer review and how this new medium is having an increasingly influential impact on many issues close to chemists' hearts including lab safety, 'chemophobia' and the public appreciation of chemistry.

Science is knowledge through observation and experimentation. It is facts of principles gained by systematic study. In order to participate in doing science, we must adhere to a "philosophy of science:" There is order to the universe, humans are able to comprehend this order, and scientists should be able to repeat experiments. There are two major kinds of science - empirical science and forensic science. However, science can't answer a lot of questions, and scientists often make mistakes.

https://bit.ly/BabeSideDoll4u Babeside is a company that specializes in creating handcrafted reborn dolls. These dolls are designed to be incredibly lifelike, with realistic skin tones and hair, and they have become increasingly popular among collectors and those who use them for therapeutic purposes. At Babeside, we believe that our reborn dolls can provide comfort and healing to anyone who needs it.
The Healing Power of Babeside's Handcrafted Creations
Our reborn dolls are more than just beautiful pieces of art - they can also help alleviate stress, anxiety, depression, and other mental health conditions. Studies have shown that holding or cuddling a soft object like a stuffed animal or a reborn doll can release oxytocin, which is often referred to as the "love hormone." This hormone helps us feel calm and relaxed, reducing feelings of stress and anxiety.
In addition to their physical benefits, reborn dolls can also offer emotional support. For many people, having something to care for and nurture can bring a sense of purpose and fulfillment. Reborn dolls can also serve as a reminder of happy memories or loved ones who have passed away.
Welcome to the Program Your Destiny course. In this course, we will be learning the technology of personal transformation, neuroassociative conditioning (NAC) as pioneered by Tony Robbins. NAC is used to deprogram negative neuroassociations that are causing approach avoidance and instead reprogram yourself with positive neuroassociations that lead to being approach automatic. In doing so, you change your destiny, moving towards unlocking the hypersocial self within, the true self free from fear and operating from a place of personal power and love.
