A crash course in organic chemistry (transcript)
A crash course in organic chemistry
Summary
I think that I will pass a chemistry test if I summarize this story.
His crash course in organic chemistry was fun though in my school, chemistry classes were boring.
Probably, many people think that, so we fear and hate chemistry classes because we think that it's too difficult and boring. We try to avoid it and we don't go near it.
The speaker tells us that the class shouldn't be easier. (I was sorry that I thought it should be easier immediately.) It's because a basic knowledge of organic chemistry is valuable.
Although I was surprised by his last words, this is true.
Organic chemistry is a core substance in our earth and it can be a window through which the beauty of the natural world looks richer. It leads to not only knowing medicines, energies, and fuels that we use every day and helping us but also breaking our Earth.
P.S. Just Japan faces this problem. We experienced a nuclear accident in Fukushima. It's said that nuclear is dangerous though it helps many people. Now is the time for studying organic chemistry, not feeling fear and not avoiding.
The handsome speaker is a professor Jakob Magolan who is a synthetic chemist and assembles new molecules to discover new medicines.
