Reiterating the Objective of the Kilomentor Blog

kilomentor | 21 June, 2008 18:10

The objective of the Kilomentor Blog is education. One can learn the basis for chemical process development and organic synthesis in schools, either technical or university undergraduate. One can build upon these with chemistry or engineering postgraduate training, but there is no path onward from there, which is widely accessible. This may be because of a person’s location on the planet or financial means. The careers that spring up from these roots are fun and useful to society. They should be open to the best minds on the planet; to whoever is intrigued to practice these arts. I write what has been useful to me and what I have learned slowly and painstakingly over 40 years. Wherever you are, all you need is access to the internet and you can share for free my experience, my insights, and yes, my errors. My goal is to provide a level playing field world-wide for organic process scientists.

A month ago my fiftieth blog article was published. The number of viewings for Kilomentor has passed 27,000. Several months ago the Kilomentor Blog was for several weeks the first ranked article on Google when the search terms: chemical process development’ organic synthesis, were entered.

Writing for Kilomentor has encouraged me to read more widely and try to put in perspective what I read. It has driven me to ask myself what the core knowledge in this profession is. It has enabled me to work together with some of you, solving problems together.

Thanks for reading.
