About

Capturing the natural beauty of chemistry I find that chemistry is often taught poorly or without a purpose. Because of this, people tend to lose interest and sometimes even start to hate it. In each video that I make, I try to balance theory with purpose. My goal is to capture the natural beauty of chemistry in fun and interesting ways. In terms of education, I have a BSc in Biochemistry, with a minor in pharmacology. However, I've always been a lot more drawn to applied chemistry. So after finishing my degree, I worked as a lab tech in an organic lab, and then as a chemistry grad student. However, I ended up leaving my graduate studies early to focus on this channel. Now, making chemistry videos has become my full-time job! Sponsorships and related business inquiries: [email protected] Other inquiries: [email protected]

Video Description

This is a reupload because the previous video was stuck in 360p for some reason. We are making some dibenzalacetone, which is a commonly used sunscreen ingredient. It is very good at absorbing UV light, so it's good at protecting us from the mean sun. The next video will be the 4th in the aspirin/paracetamol series.
