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!

In this weeks episode we talk to "ranney", an multidisciplinarian in the performing arts, about St. Elmo and HBCUs and how the scientific discoveries made by Black people have gone widely unrecognized in primary education. And that's what you missed on Glee! Hosted as always by Dylan Tharpe Eralie, edited by Selena, music by Gwen Mylls.
