@St_Rev “first total synthesis of a transition metal organometallic polycyclic macrocycle”? -
@Meaningness "First recipe from 'scratch' for an important type of molecule that combines a bunch of carbon rings with a metal atom"? -
@St_Rev Yeah, although kind of more like “chemistry equivalent of building a supercomputer out of popsicle sticks” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R.B._Woodward#B12_synthesis_and_Woodward.E2.80.93Hoffmann_rules … -
@Meaningness I think the mean inferential distance for mathematical research results is a lot deeper than it is for other fields, though. -
@St_Rev I think you are probably right (but think it would be hard to validate this). -
@Meaningness Chunk key concepts into a directed graph, X -> Y means X is necessary background to Y, compute mean depth or something -
@St_Rev Yeah, but the granularity is arbitrary and will determine depth. -
@Meaningness Like, what's the minimum number of graduate-level seminars an average student would require to get up to speed. - 8 more replies
