The history of chemistry is contained in the stories of scientists and their discoveries. Looking back to the past three centuries, Tom Tritton will highlight the ten key discoveries - and the individuals who made them - that led to the formation of modern day chemistry. The challenge, of course, is to decide who makes the top ten and he expects to hear considerable debate about the wisdom (or lack thereof) of his choices. Such is the delight for the life of the mind!
Tom Tritton is the president of the Chemical Heritage Foundation, having previously done cancer research at Yale University (for 12 years) and at the University of Vermont (for 12 more years).
