Networking and Chemistry
Douglas A. Loy
Quiz 1: Take-Home Quiz
• Due Wednesday, May 21
• Make sure your name & student number (e.g
1110700110) are on quiz.
• Sign name and number on sign out sheet when
you pick up quiz.
• Answers must be in English
• Answers do not need to be long.
• Use study guide (online at
Loyresearchgroup.com) to help
First week Presentations Topics: May 21 & 23rd
1)Explain how the internet works. Describe the physical architecture of the internet. How
is everything connected?
2) Presentation of history of internet.
3)How search engines work
4)Describe search engines available to you here in China. Explain how to access them.
Which one is best? Why?
5)Describe how a VPN works and how it allows you to access information with greater
security?
6)Explain how to build a complete list of publications for a scientist. You do this for other
scientists and for yourself. You must separate the papers into peer reviewed journal papers,
non peer reviewed papers, books, book chapters, patents. Abstracts are for talks or
presentations and are listed separately from papers.
7)Discovering where a scientist has worked (company or government lab or University).
8)Conducting author searches (how do you know you have the right Douglas Loy??). Hint:
find resume or CV online, identify where person worked in past. Use this information to
figure out which papers are from the right author.
9) Chemical searching: How do you use the internet to tell you if a chemical compound is
new and has not been reported before? How do you use search engines and the internet
to be very sure. (Chemical registry numbers and structure searching)
10)Research topic searching. Keywords and how to find them. How do you make sure
you are searching a topic thoroughly.
11) Finding a chemical reactions or formulation using chemical search engines. Show how
you can search one of these databases using both keyword and structure searching.
Brief review of last lectures’ material
• Hardware and software architecture of the
internet.
• Finding scientific information
• Faster communication than letter writing
• Writing papers for publication
• Professional networking
• Professional society information
• Conferences and presentations
Presentations tell a story
Beginning of talk: tell audience what
they should learn (thesis)
Middle of talk: explain &
defend thesis and reinforce
End of talk: repeat thesis
clearly
Next I will show you an example of a 10 minute presentation

Focus in on topic with key words
Identify key papers
– See who the author cited in paper
– See who is citing the papers
• Search authors for additional papers
• Obtain dissertations from authors groups to
