Everything is Chemistry!

Sometimes it is hard to believe that everything in our universe can be defined by the existence of particles that are so small that we can not even see them. All matter is built from atoms and all atoms were forged by the stars. That means that the human body is made up of some percentage of star dust. To think about this is truly mind blowing. As students of science, it is important to wonder and ask questions about these and other phenomena that make up the world around us. Let's use this blog as an opportunity to wonder together. Feel free to share your thoughts, questions and wonders about the world of chemistry. I will do my best to answer them. If you can find a reliable resource to answer someone else's question, then please do! Use good judgement with your postings as your writing represents who you are as a scientist and person. If there is any doubt about the appropriateness of your question or response then please do not post it. This is for purely academic sharing and thoughts.Thank you! Ms. Randall
