YouTube for chemistry videos

摘要

The International Year of Chemistry is about the importance of chemistry not only in the lives of chemists but also in the lives of the general public.A YouTube video specifically prepared for the IYC details a world without chemistry - it shows a typical person waking up and getting ready for the day's activities but, in a world without chemistry, running into various problems. Produced by the ACS Office of Public Affairs, Digital Services Unit and the Younger Chemists Committee, the video helpsus to 'imagine a day without cars, electric lights, TV, telephones, safe food, water, medicine, clothing, your house, and other things that make up modern life. Do it, and you are imagining a day without chemistry.'
