Fascinating insights into how chemistry controls our response to external stimuli using an encounter between a man and a snake to show the macroscopic effects of the molecular reactions. Along the way a lot of organic, structural, and physical chemistry is introduced.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
