Scraped/typed into Arcturus
I AM SO GRATEFUL TO EVERYONE WHO HAS HELPED WITH THE GREEN CHAIN REACTION. THE SESSION WAS A GREAT SUCCESS. WE GOT A PRELIMINARY RESULT ABOUT 5 MINS BEFORE WE WENT LIVE:
There is no immediately obvious difference in the solvents reported in 2000 and in 2009.
The chemistry department electricity went off line yesterday over the weekend so we had no server. We managed to scrape enough before that so that we could show the basis of the experiment. But most of the session was about how we collaborated on this experiment. I’ll write more later.
There were many people who helped before the event – code, running jobs, documentation and general support. And many who helped on the crisis . And others who helped with recording the event including livestream. I’ll try to give all credits later.
This experiment was created specifically for the Science Online and had a deadline. It’s raised lots of issues and we think there is an exciting way forward which I’ll discuss later.
BUT ONCE AGAIN ENORMOUS THANKS
Peter, what is next? Are you going to push this project further, or does it stop here? Despite all the interesting spin offs, are you going to work out this analysis further and write up a review paper with all those (significantly) contributed?
Or, is this project now going to end, with #solo10 finished?
Hi Peter
It was a fascinating session, thanks. I really hope you don’t end it there.
You twittered me for my address–you should be able to get it from this comment. Which female colleague do you want me to send you (I assume you meant their address 😉 )?
I think it’s important that this exercise is written up and published, to try to disseminate to a wider audience who perhaps aren’t familiar with the area. From the initial analysis I saw of the graphs that were produced it looked like there were some changes in solvents used … for the worse. But let’s get the full digestion of data and conclude something certain. It was great to be part of it.
