Editorial – Empowering Students to Innovate: Engagement in Organic Chemistry Teaching
I recently had the pleasure of competing for the Robert Foster Cherry Award for Great Teaching given biennially by Baylor University. In preparing for the competition, I spent considerable time reflecting on my own past experiences as a student, as well as the key philosophies that have helped to transform organic chemistry—often dreaded by students—into one of the most popular classes on the UCLA campus. In this Guest Editorial, I focus on just one key aspect, which involves capturing the extraordinary potential of our students to innovate.
As a “pre‐med” student at NYU, I took chemistry courses out of necessity. “OChem” in particular was reputed to be an intense weed‐out class that required exhaustive memorization and regurgitation of information. On our first day of class in 1997, Professor Yorke Rhodes convinced us otherwise. He told tales of the great contemporary organic chemists who were educated at NYU, such as Professors Eric Jacobsen and Al Myers, along with recent graduate Phil Baran, who was already a rising star in graduate school at the time.

Derek Lowe – Here’s something to keep an eye on: eleven of the largest national research funding agencies in Europe have announced a plan to require open-access publication of papers arising from their grants. The plan is that by 2020, all such work must be published in compliant open-access journals or on compliant open-access platforms. (read more…)
