And the most popular video is the NMR of an ester, where I explain the effect of a chiral center on the splitting pattern of methylene groups.
This blog chronicles the research of the UsefulChem project in the Bradley lab at Drexel University. The main project currently involves the synthesis of novel anti-malarial compounds. The work is done under Open Notebook Science conditions with the actual detailed lab notebook located at usefulchem.wikispaces.com. More general comments posted here relate to Open Science, especially when associated with chemistry.

Older Males Prefer NMR of Ester
I was just looking at the YouTube Insight feature showing demographic and access info on my uploaded videos. Since I use my YouTube account mainly to provide solutions to organic chemistry problems in my undergrad classes it was surprising to see that the most active group of viewers were 45-55 year old men.

Interesting...I see about 75% male for the vids I have and about 40% of those are 0-18 and about 30% 45-55, the rest are split fairly evenly between the other age ranges.
