"What's New in Science?" part deux, Chemistry edition!

 From UK Arts & Sciences webpage

 UK College of Arts and Sciences has released the second video in their round table discussion series, Whats New in Science. If you missed my last post (link below),  Whats New in Science is a way for the University of Kentucky and local schools in Fayette and surrounding counties to create a two way dialogue about cool and interesting stuff in science with scientists, teachers and the general public. These are free and open to everyone, so if your in the area check them out. You can register here... or if you can't attend them, look on this site for continued coverage.

Part deux focuses on Chemistry with organic and materials chemistry researcher, John Anthony.   He put together a lighthearted discussion about the implications/ roles of chemistry in life (emphasis on organic chemistry)that made it interesting and digestible for the classroom. He also gives some funny historical accounts of chemistry in general. As I promised before in my last post, discussing the the Big Bang, dark matter, dark energy and the universe, the video is below. Props to the team involved, they put together a good looking video.  You can also view the video here on the Arts & Sciences site with the Q&A session transcribed.
