In my free time, I enjoy researching and writing about chemistry-related topics. That way, I encourage myself to research and learn new things while also sharing something with others. It's also a way for me to improve my writing skills by writing about something I'm interested in: the intricate processes of chemistry. To be more specific, I frequently end up writing about organic chemistry. My goal is to go into depth about specific topics in a way that any 'ordinary person' can understand. The idea is that science is, or should be made, available to everyone so that they can understand what is going on around them and, hopefully, use that knowledge critically! For example, understanding the chemistry of your medications, why baking soda makes life in the kitchen easier, or even what 'E330' means can significantly improve people's perceptions of industry and enable them to make more rational decisions in their daily lives. I like to think that after reading my blog, someone out there will think about everyday things (that we take for granted) a little more when he or she uses them.
