Description

 Don't worry but maybe buy some iodine pills! We are discussing a very serious topic today with local comedian Aaron Durbin (highly referential). We also talk about tv shows because you gotta take the edge off somehow. Hosted as always by Dylan Gardner, music by Brian Mylls, edited by Selena.

Chemistry as a discipline has a reputation to the public of being boring, hard to understand, and dry. However, there are both people and experiments that changed history. We will cover laboratory and industrial accidents, cases of fraud like Jan Hendrik Schön, and the man that has caused more harm to earth’s atmosphere than any other single organism Thomas Midgley Jr. We will talk about the greatest chemists and their lives from Marie Curie to Rosalind Franklin to Neils Bohr to Glenn Seaborg. The Chemistry of everyday things like medications, tattoo ink, soaps and cleaners, cosmetics, sunscreen, and more! Join us for Cowboy Chemistry!
