What if: serious scientific answers to absurd hypothetical questions
Randall Munroe John Murray 2014 | 336pp | £14.99 ISBN 9781848549579 Much of the job of teaching science is not so much imparting facts as getting students to think like scientists. By the same token, learning physics is not so much about memorising equations, but about thinking like a physicist. There is nobody in the public eye who thinks out loud like a physicist quite as much as Randall Munroe, author of the xkcd webcomic. What if is an extended version of his weekly online blog on the topic.
Innovative Physiotherapy Treatments Attract Overseas Patients to Leeds Clinic

PubChemRDF: towards the semantic annotation of PubChem compound and substance databases
The PubChemRDF content covered in the scope of this paper includes the core chemical information archived in the PubChem Compound and Substance databases, the semantic relationships between compounds and substances, the chemical descriptors associated with compounds and substances, the interrelationships between compounds, and the provenance and attribution metadata of substances. The corresponding RDF statements to describe these will be demonstrated in the following sections.
Films for chemists
ReAction!: chemistry in the movies ReAction!: chemistry in the movies Mark Griep and Marjorie Mikasen New York, US: Oxford University Press 2009 | 352 pp | ?28.99 (HB) ISBN 9780195326925 Reviewed by Colin Batchelor Science in the cinema often comes off poorly. Some images that spring immediately to mind include evil geniuses, near-instant genetic fingerprinting and faster-than-light space travel. But Griep and Mikasen show that popular films can be chemically interesting as well as entertaining.

Macromolecular menagerie
How polymers, whether man-made or biological, organise themselves into structures ranging in size from nanometres to micrometres was the subject of a Faraday Discussion meeting, Self-organising polymers, in Leeds, UK, earlier this year.
Searching for drugs
A new set of simple empirical rules for drug design that avoids any ’wet’ chemistry or complicated calculations has been mooted by chemists in Cambridge, UK. Rather than experimenting in the lab, or performing modelling calculations, Samuel Motherwell and collaborators have searched the Cambridge structural database (CSD), the world repository of small molecule crystal structures, in their quest to find counterions that can be used to modify a drug’s physical properties by making a salt of it.
New light on ion channels
By using artificial ion channels based on gramicidin, a bacterial toxin, scientists from Canada and Germany are quite literally illuminating nerve cell processes. By using artificial ion channels based on gramicidin, a bacterial toxin, scientists from Canada and Germany are quite literally illuminating nerve cell processes. Ion channels in cell membranes control electrical signals between cells, making muscles twitch, hearts beat and neurons fire.
