About the class:
Purpose: study and master the knowledge of networking
and skill to search chemical information in the Internet.
• Since the most advanced information in the Internet
are written in English, the course is scheduled to teach in
English
About the class:
(I) Course will include my four lectures:
1) Introduction to course & notes on good
presentations, plus background on internet, 1st hour
today
2) Searching chemical information on web
2nd hour today
3) Attending International conferences and preparing
scientific papers for publication (using web) Next week
4) Summation of course, June 14th.
(II) The remainder of the lectures will be student
symposia.

Presentation requirements
• Powerpoint
• In English
• 13 minutes long, 4 minutes for questions
Part 1. Giving effective
presentations
Douglas Loy
Networking
and Chemistry
Presentations tell a story
Beginning of talk: tell audience
what they should learn
Middle of talk:
convince them
End of talk: Reinforce
message
People like to hear a logical sequence of events leading to a
satisfying conclusion
Story telling tools
• Visual-graphics
• Strong load voice & eye contact
• Slide title is a thesis
for slide
• Reinforced with
bullets of information
• Finish each slide with
conclusion or transition
Together these grab your audience’s attention and deliver your
message more effectively
Applying the KISS (Keep It Simple Silly)
Principle
•
•
•
•
One concept or theme per slide
Try to keep it to 4 or 5 bullets max per slide
Simple, easy to understand graphics
Font greater than 18.
Simple, easy to understand
slides that focus will leave your
audience with your message
more effectively
awful graphic
No outlines in short talks
• Absolutely useless for short talks (& most long
ones)
• Waste of time at best, Insulting at worst
• If you must, make it a map for complicated
presentations
Talks can be “outlined” on the first slide
But don’t waste your time or the audience
with a special outline slide
For historical background, use a time line

Don’t go overboard with details
• Leave fine details for audience questions
• Do not set yourself up for questions you can’t
answer
• Keep presentation at higher level (not the
dreaded “graduate student seminar”)
The corollary is that you should be identifying potential questions and
organizing your answers before you present
Keep your talk length under control
• Start with one slide per minute
• Practice and determine how many you will
actually will need
If you have too many your audience will not remember your message
only your lack of preparation
Conclusion slide is where you revisit
key points from presentation
• Do not save important points until conclusion
• Paraphrase those points after introducing
them earlier.
• Can be the conclusion bullets from slides
You can often end your summarizing the talks take home
points by speculating about the future.
Part 2: The Internet

What you need to know about the
internet:
Definition of internet
Computer architecture of internet
What are protocols; what do they do?
What POP, ISP and IP are; what do they do?
What are routers; what do they do?
What is a LAN ; what does it do?
What is an http ; what does it do?
How a browser and search engine are similar and different
What is a url ; what is it for?
What is the backbone of the internet ; what does it do?
What is the world wide web?
What is a firewall ; what does it do?
What is a VPN; what does it do?
The internet
•
•
•
•
•
•
Network of computer systems spanning the globe.
Network of networks
Share a common protocol suite (TCP/IP)
> 2 billion users
Internet Engineering Task Force
Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and
Numbers
• Access to data (WWW) and communication (email)
• No central administration
Internet History
• Packet research in 1960’s
• ARPANET (DARPA-US), NPL (UK), CYCLADES (FR), Telenet
(US), Tymnet (US) in early 1970’s
• Computer Science Network (NSF, US,1982)
• 1980’s TCP/IP standardization
– NSFNET 1986 (10-50 kb/s)
• ARPANET & NSFNET replaced
by commercial internet corp.’s 1990’s
• since 1990’s Email, video calls, blogs
social networking, WWW, etc.
(> 10 Gib/s).
One more how the internet works slide
Packets are the data
fragment your request or
answer is broken into for
transit through the internet
Client is
your
phone,
ipad,
computer
nodes interconnection points Servers store information
routers are
the brains of
the
internet:joins
networks.
insures info
only goes
where it is
needed and
that it does
get there.
Search engines
• Software designed to find (search) information on world
wide web
• Use webcrawler and indexing algorithms to keep up to data
directory of data
•Many commercial search engines (Google (89%),Yahoo,
Baidu (62% in China))
•Scientific search engines: Web of Science, SciFinder,
Google Scholar
Part 3. Searching for chemical
information on the internet
What you need to know about searching
for chemical information on the internet
You need to know
1) what search engines are available (Scifinder, web of science, reaxys, Google scholar).
2) how to find Chemical Abstracts System numbers- they are assigned to each and
every chemical.
3) how to search by author names and find all of their publications
4) how to find out where people worked by finding their resume or curriculum vita
online.
5) how to search with keywords
6) that structure searching can be the best way to find a CAS number or all of the
references there are for that compound.
7) How to find CAS #, alternative names, and citations for polymers.
8) How to search for reactions
9) How to search for patents
10) How to sort or down select citation lists by where, when, and for whom it was done
11) How to export citation lists to bibliographic software
12) How to find companies selling chemicals and their prices
13) How to find the first time something was done.
14) Sort by document type.
