Misc (Chemistry)
An excellent series that describes the history of Chemistry. 
I think this is a great way to get interessted in science and specifically chemistry. Aired January 21, 2010 on BBC Four.
Scientific mind map software (free)
It's time for me to come clean: I'm a total mindmap junkie. Someone turned me on to the phenomenon a few years ago and it didn't quite click but in the last year, I've been unstoppable. I find it to be the easiest way to visaulize a topic from top to bottom and helps me to construct a complete...
Chemistry on Reddit
I'm a big fan of Reddit for a number of reasons and found a nice little section for the chemists. It's fairly active (daily) and seems to be more about day-to-day life as a chemist or chemistry student rather than a place for people needing help with homework. "There's a subreddit for that" and, in...
Procedures for pH probe maintenance and calibration
A great guide to maintaining your lab's pH electrodes.
Publishing your research 101
This is a great video on the process of having your research published. This is great for undergraduates and graduate students who are starting with their own research. Best advice: Make writing a part of the research and start early. When should you begin to think about writing up your...
Search and upload theses and dissertations
OpenThesis is a place to upload your thesis for everyone else to read and use. Looks like a great resource for students who need a little help getting through the hardest part of a grad degree. From the site: OpenThesis is a free repository of theses, dissertations, and other academic documents,...
Chemistry people and groups on Twitter
If you think Twitter is just for celebrities and social media lunatics, you might be surprised. C&EN put together a few chemists tweeting away for folks in the sciences looking to break out of their shell a bit. This was written in 2009 so some of it might be a bit out of date but most of the...
Spectral Database for Organic Compounds
Easily the most useful site I ever used during my Chemistry undergrad. AIST (Japan) put together a database of spectral analysis for anyone who needs to look up what a particular compound will look like under scrutiny. You can search by name, formula, weight, number of atoms, and certain NMR shifts...
