- Free add-your-profile opportunity for colleges and universities on Facebook(R) Platform

Recent national surveys have found that 75% of college and university applicants are active Facebook users, and many discuss their plans for higher education using the social utility. SkoolPool(TM), a new application on Facebook Platform, offers a fast and effective way for institutions to share information with this key audience. With a SkoolPool membership, institutions get a profile page accessible through SkoolPool.com, SkoolPool on Facebook Platform, and on a Facebook Page designed and maintained by the Academica Group team.

This term, the students in my organic chemistry class were presented with an opportunity to do an extra credit assignment using Second Life to represent concepts they learned in the course. When I was an undergraduate, finding molecules in articles was mainly done using the Chemical Abstracts books. A convenient way to find a specific molecule would be to look up the molecular formula and find the corresponding IUPAC name. Theoretically, one could figure out the IUPAC name from scratch but this can be very tricky for complex molecules and prone to error.
