  1. It is still not clear how Socrates (Σωκράτης) made a living , in his own view, he devoted himself to the greatest art or occupation which is philosophy. Similar to this were the oponions of Aristotle(Αριστοτέλης) and Plato(Πλάτων).

    I do not think that culture is a distinguishing factor. There are penty of similar examples like the cuture of Egypt, Italy, Hellas and others. In addition excuse me to say that the "genetics point seems rather catchy and perhaps dangerous, as we could then move on to other assumptions that could be easily explained by genetics and i don't think any of us is going to acuse Germans for autocracy, based on their genetics
  3. Medicinal chemists are currently in a risky position and their future seems doughtful. This is the opinion of the majority of experts from what i have noticed. For example an article from ACS http://pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.1021/ml200297a. Synthetic organic chemistry is gradually losing it's necessity and more biologics enter the pharma industry. It seems as if companies are no longer looking for more and better drugs but cheaper ones . Drugs that deal with Alzheimer and CNS agents are ignored because of their high costs. Can it be inferred from all this, that the time of medicinal chemists as the elite of pharmaceuticals is over? Anyhow, more and more people are unemployed and talented pharmaceutical scientists are being wasted. Thank you for your time.

  4. In addition consider this, with the economic crisis bringing about chaos in the financial system of the world, new paths for innovation and expandment can be visited. One fair example i am aware of are the upcoming pharmaceutical companies which are called upon to deal with diseases that pharmaceutical giants avoid due to their economic hazard. Of course there are many other similar examples that indicate we are in an altering phase
  5. Hello, so i am asking a question. As what do you perceive the economic crisis? The beginning of a downfall or an oppurtunity for change? Will we be seeing more conflicts between countries?Is this the appropriate time to blaim each other for the situation that we are dealing with? I am a 17 year old student living in Greece a country that has been deeply afflicted by the economic crisis. However , i believe that this is a perfect opportunity for all nations like Greece to evolve and rejuvenate. This optimistic view may be a result of my age, so perhaps i am mistaken. Feel free to argue with my statement. I am interested in all possible opinions.Thank you for your time
  6. Which would you think is the best software for molecular modeling?
  7. I am actually thinking about both undergraduate and postgraduate, anyway thank you for everything and i wish you all the luck with your postgraduate studies.
  8. Hypervalent_iodine i saw that you studied in australia and i have been thinking about studying there. Could you give me some information about the quality of the education there?
  9. Hello, i am finishing school in a few months and i am facing an issue. I am interested in a career in drug design and drug develoment, so i am wondering whether the pharmaceuticals or chemistry department is the best choice.Some tell me that pharmaceutical chemisty courses are necessary from this early stage.Others insist, that most of the scientists working in the particular field are organic chemists and not pharmaceutical chemists.Every information or opinion whould help.Thank you for your time.
  10. Hello i am Skandamis, i am an angry nerd from Greece who simply seeks knowledge. Thank you for having me in your interesting forum
