Chemistry 3B: Chemical Structure and Reactivity. Spring 2006. Professor Peter Vollhardt.
Chemistry 3B represents the second semester of the standard organic chemistry series at UC Berkeley. It covers conjugation, aromatic chemistry, carbonyl compounds, carbohydrates, amines, carboxylic acids, amino acids, peptides, proteins, and nucleic acid chemistry. Ultraviolet spectroscopy and mass spectrometry will be introduced. Organic chemistry is a specific discipline within the subject of chemistry. It is the scientific study of the structure, properties, composition, reactions, and preparation of chemical compounds of carbon and hydrogen, which may contain any number of other elements, such as nitrogen,...
The Responsible Conduct of Research Seminar Series gives graduate students, postdoctoral scholars, faculty, and staff the knowledge and tools to guide them through the increasingly complex ethical issues that they will face during their careers. Topical experts lead each session, using case studies and leaving time for Q&A.

This final session highlights some key messages from the conference and the prospects for continuing collaboration on climate change research between U.C. Berkeley and other stakeholders in China and the U.S. The China-U.S. Climate Change Forum was organized by the Berkeley China Initiative, which is forging closer ties between U.C. Berkeley and China by bringing together key experts on important international and bilateral issues. Growing concern over climate change makes this topic an obvious choice for the first of this series of annual events. This panel will highlight the mutual vulnerability of China and the U.S. to climate change, and the indispensable role of scientific research in understanding...
