This is ever so slightly “vintage” Periodic Table of Pokemon might not have all the newest characters from Pokemon Go but we couldn’t resist sharing! Especially as Martyn Fordham and Kerry Elgie are now keen Pokemon Go “hunters”!
@CompoundChem shared a really interesting Tweet with a brief guide to doping in sports. It’s unfortunate that this is so topical with the 2016 Olympic Games taking place right now in Rio…
With the school summer holidays upon us we thought we would share some ideas to help entertain the kids, and you never know, maybe help inspire the next generation of chemists! See our selection of fun chemistry experiments for kids.
Take care in the lab or end up like this distinguished gentleman!
With the right ingredients, a “dash” of chemistry, maybe a cold drink, – we can turn up the heat and feel smug that we’re all chemists when we barbecue!
When Don Clark, an experienced analytical chemist at Pfizer in Kent, UK, mentioned his work in chemistry outreach projects we felt it was incredibly important to play our part and make a contribution where we could. Find out more about these programmes…
We haven’t managed to convince Martyn that an in-house ice cream manufacturing station with an Asynt CryoSyn liquid nitrogen generator is a reasonable staff facility, but we did find that the cooling DrySyn SnowStorm Reactor Kit is really wonderful at holding* several of these chilled treasures at a low temperature until we’re ready to eat! We might possibly need more space for sauces, toppings and proper ice cream cornets though…
With what seems to be a celebrated day of the year for every occasion it would be remiss of us to ignore World Baking Day on Tuesday 17th May but we’ll look at it from the Chemists viewpoint!
With new inventions needed for the next James Bond movie, the Israeli team of researchers from the Weizmann Institute of Science might have just the thing!
Martyn Fordham recently visited Asynt and Uniqsis partners in Japan with some very useful findings relating to chemistry laboratories there and how things differ from our experiences in the UK. He also discovered just how bad he is at Karaoke!
