electrophoresis Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 where is analyical chemistry forum??? chromatography forum??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Cuthber Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 Why would there be one? (and I'm an analytical chemist BTW) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharonY Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 Most of analytical chemistry would appear in the chemistry area, whereas bioanalytics tend to wind up in in the biochemistry subforum. While the distinction in disciplines might be debatable, there are usually not enough posts to to warrant a distinct subforum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hermanntrude Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 most analytical chemistry is applied, anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tartaglia Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 What is more surprising is that there is no physical chemistry forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainPanic Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 Or a biochemistry forum. Or a polymer chemistry forum. Or a chemical engineering forum. Then again, very often people who start threads (those with many questions) don't know where to put something (how often don't we see organic and inorganic chemistry mixed up?), so I think 4 chemistry threads, 6 physics subforums, an engineering subforum and a bunch of other topics are enough. Enough anyway to dazzle some of the younger members (not me). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tartaglia Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 In general, the three main branches of chemistry are Inorganic, Organic and Physical. There are obviously many smaller ones. I'm just surprised "physical chemistry" falls the wrong side of the line and does not have its own forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insane_alien Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 it doesn't get the forum because there isn't enough demand for it. if there were more demand then it would get its own forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hermanntrude Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 the advice is to post in general chemistry if it doesn't fit anywhere else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Cuthber Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 I think we may have frightened the poor OP away which is a pity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hermanntrude Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 i think he/she left feeling that any forum without analytical, chromatography and "exactly what my field is" forums isn't good enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainPanic Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 Why would there be one?(and I'm an analytical chemist BTW) I think this was pretty much an invitation to ask any question related to analytical chemistry. It surely would encourage me, not scare me away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
