My chemical life

After working on patents for three months of last year, I found myself fascinated by reading up on genetics for some of the translations. One thing led to another... first Genetics for Dummies and Chemistry for Dummies... then courses on chemistry and biotechnology for translators... and to crown it all, I signed up for some entry-level courses with the Open University!

After signing up on Sunday, the materials for SK185: Molecules, Medicines and Drugs and S171: Empire of the Microbes arrived by courier today. I wonder if I'd have gone further in chemistry at school if I had a playset like this.
