Why I Love Chemistry?
This is my first post-absolutely about chemisty-on my new blog
There Some reason why i love chemistry:
There Some reason why i love chemistry:
First,
everything you'll ever see is made of chemicals. EVERYTHING. Makes it
worthwhile to want to understand it a bit, doesn't it?
Second,
there's the knowledge that, give us a target structure, and enough
time, and we'll make it. Some of them will require dozens of years and
people, but we'll get there eventually. Then the fun begins, because
we'll look for ways to do it better, on larger scale, cheaper, with
less toxic reagents, etc… so many problems to tackle, so many challenges
to overcome, and nothing beats the feeling of succeeding in those
things. The engineers must know this…
Third
when I was a kid, I played with Lego. Now my building blocks are
molecules, but the fun you can have in combining them in new and
interesting ways is pretty much the same.
Fourth,
and this is quite personal, I have a good memory, and I feel that this
gift is very well used in chemistry, much better than in other sciences,
which is rewarding.
Fifth, the experiments. It
is really easy to set up an chemistry experiment, much easier than in
physics or biology for example. My part of chemistry, synthetic
chemistry, is fundamentally experimental. And I like that a lot, I can
get answers to my questions very fast.
Sixth,
the challenges again. You want to change the world? There is a field in
chemistry that will allow you to help in a very tangible way: cleaner
energy/ energy storage? Material chemistry is needed, and inorganic
chemistry. Medicine? Try medicinal chemistry. Environment? Treatment of
waste is a chemistry problem, just as better polymers, cleaner synthesis
of commodity chemicals etc… World hunger? Designing new, safer, cleaner
pesticides is done by chemists, better fertilizer as well. Note that
you will not change the world by yourself, but no one does these days. I
expect working on new batteries is much like working as an engineer on
an electrical car, or a new rocket design.
Thats my opinion About Chemistry,what yours?
