Our survival will depend on ensuring that our students are able to weigh the advantages of SET - Chemistry in particular - against the disadvantages

This delicate balancing act will have to be addressed

Let’s hope our children can do it better than us

What contributions have improved the quality of life

Man’s got t’know his limitations

The limit to the strength of a particular material is the Defect

and how they may be overcome

Avogadro Number

Applications

Need a set of real examples

From say the polymer industry production aerated foams

Anticancer Drugs

Study of electrolysis on cells

Recognition of platinum toxicity

Test on cancer cells

100 year-old platinum

Anti Cancer drugs

ACS MeetingKey issue for me is how to develop the seamless

subliminalunderstanding of chemistry as a manifestation of

molecular(nanoscale) behaviour A set of modules on the Key bases How Chemistry got where it isFocus on the method whereby the information was
