I think it would be great having a thread devoted to Quantum Chemistry. Is anyone interested in learning Quantum Chemistry?
 
Biology news on Phys.org
Not an inherently bad idea for a thread, but at what level are you thinking that the thread is directed?

Should everyone first take a look at, for example, http://zopyros.ccqc.uga.edu/lec_top/lectures.html before we start? Should we pick a commonly used textbook such as Levine or such?

I'm willing to help out with my collection of links if anyone is in fact interested.

Nothing specific.

This thread is my attempt to understanding the evidence that Natural Selection in the human genome was recent and regional. On Page 103 of A Troublesome Inheritance, Wade writes the following: "The regional nature of selection was first made evident in a genomewide scan undertaken by Jonathan Pritchard, a population geneticist at the...
