Today, February the 11th, is the United Nations International Day of Women and Girls in Science.
Remember how it’s the International Year of the Periodic Table? Well, we’re looking at a different element each month, and this next one’s a killer! January was devoted to one we’d be super dead without (Carbon). In February, we are investigating an element that definitely has the opposite effect on living things; Mercury.
Here at Science Space we are excited to announce that 2019 is the United Nations International Year of the Periodic Table. To celebrate, we will be focusing on one element a month until the end of the year. First off, here’s something we’d be super dead without: Carbon.
Let’s talk about Coelenterazine. Not all chemists work with chemicals.
#12 – Neurotoxin | Project Chemistree
#5 – Ferredoxin | Project Chemistree.
#7 – Bispirin | Project Chemistree. Aspirin might have been one of the greatest advances in medicine, but it does come with some complications. If you’ve got things like Chron’s disease or Ulcerative Colitis, taking aspirin can do more harm than good.
#9 – Ammonium Chloride | Project Chemistree
#10 and #11 – Indigo | Nicholas Butler
