BASF podcasts: chemistry in everyday life

You are probably all aware of BASF’s very cool two podcasts:

Both very entertaining as well as educating… edutainment by the largest chemical company out there.

DMSO column

Derek has an entertaining story about column chromatography over at his blog. Too good we don’t often have to do any of those anymore when dealing with goo.

Oh, don’t ask how we purify this stuff… I have had two students sent to the hospital once because they lost their minds over a simple polymer purification ;)

How do *you* dig through masses of data?

Many of you know the problem: you are looking through a bunch of experiments, trying to understand what is happening. Maybe you are working on a screening problem, maybe you are even organized and structured and are using a statistical approach. But often you are not, and it is just looking at data, looking at plots of X versus Y, X versus Z, A versus B, etc.

How do you find the “golden data point”? What tools do you use for this? My best take right now is Microsoft Excel, but also a tool like Umetrics’s MODDE helps a lot if you really control the data you want to compare.

I just realized that Google has published a new API for data visualization, which supposedly can be used together with GoogleDocs. Has anyone tried that? (and also very nice is Google’s image generator for charts).

And then I came across this: Gapminder world data, which is just amazing.

Is there any way I can get my data to be displayed like this, interactively an as flexible? Anyone know how? (some trackbacks)

The www.forex.digestofnews.com feeds have been hand picked so that they are relevant and most interesting. forex news is useful in forex trading for the following reasons: You can get news about the general state of the economy for your own interest, though this is not to say that it is going to be used for your actual trading, as many systems rely totally on technical analysis, not fundamental analysis. The exception to point one above, are the major economic announcements that may cause moves in currencies affected by that announcement. Some mechanical systems trade the announcements, so you need to knwo when they are and which ones do tend move the market (and they occur regularly). Also, some systems that purely use technical analysis will require you to exit specific positions before specific major announcement to avoid getting stopped out, and possibly with a with slippage due to gapping as well.
