Chemistry By Design is an interactive virtual flashcard that allows everyone to test their skills using known synthetic sequences. The goal is to display the reagents, starting materials and products for every single step used in constructing a natural product or pharmaceutical.
To better serve the community everyone is called to submit a synthetic sequence not yet included in the app. The app is available online or for iOs and Android devices.
Chemistry By Design is created by Professor Jon T. Njardarson (Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, University of Arizona). 

Furthermore about Chemistry, Marie Curie Actions sometime ago presented a funny video: "Chemicals having a party".

The embarrassing Covid

di Stefania Salmaso
Pubblicato il 02/10/2023

There's a certain discomfort in having to talk about Covid-19 again, as demanded by the increase in cases that is also recorded in Italy. The reason, writes epidemiologist Stefania Salmaso, might perhaps be identified in the lack of a transparent process that allows understanding on what basis the health authority formulates recommendations, leading to reliance on pundits.

Epidemiology

“An embarrassing Covid-19”: It could be the title of a short story by Calvino or a rhyme by Rodari, but it's what we're witnessing these days. The increasing frequency of SARS-CoV-2 infections in various areas of the world, including Italy, has forced mainstream media to address it again. However, it's often discussed with a sort of embarrassment and only for the sake of reporting. When discussing possible countermeasures, the discomfort becomes even more apparent.
