A great 2 days with some lovely technicians on SSERC's Senior Phase Chemistry course. It was lovely to meet (or re-meet) We had a great time, I hope you did too.

ELECTRIC BUNSEN BURNERS
it occurs to me that it would be useful to find out about usage I would be grateful for any input.
1. Is your school using them? (details of location, even just country, would be helpful).
2. If so, do you have any comments on their usability, safety etc?

Great first day on the AH Chemnistry Projects course. Analysis, Extraction and Synthesis - enough to keep any chemist happy. And there's more tomorrow!

A great day at St Andrews. Great lectures, lunch in the sunshine and some fascinating demonstrations of anthocyanins to finish off.

Photo of a row of purple flasks of potassium permanganate solutions.

Hi Everyone. SSERC Chemistry has made the jump to Bluesky. Here's a pretty picture of a (so far) vain attempt to use potassium permanganate to determine the amount of alcohol in a solution. Not giving up yet though.
