Discussion

I note Dr. Walker is now subscribed to this module and think you need to communicate with him on what it is you would like to do, the idea was to open up the option for students to work with R, and the students sort of need to identify the projects they want, and get the green light from their facilitator, as that is the one who gives them their grades. You should feel free to comment here on ideas, and hopefully, there would be someone subscribed that could help. My personal feeling as that since we have PubChem people on board, projects involving PubChem would be easiest to get support with. Have you tried doing anything with R shiny,<a href="https://shiny.rstudio.com/">https://shiny.rstudio.com/</a> ? Also, one of my students made a spreadsheet in Excel that she uploaded boiling and melting points from PubChem depositors to, and used the API to get molar masses, and then set it up to filter results based on the values of an "unknown". That is, sort of the opposite of what we have been doing (you are not searching the physical property of a molecule, but the molecule that has the physical property). the issue we ran into is that many of them do not come up over the API, in fact if I understand right, only computed values come through the API. But you can still get the actual data sets from the depositors, and then maybe do some task with that. The bottom line is you need to pick a project that interests you, and that your faciliator approves, and hopefully we can find someone who can help. Cheers, Bob
