From the first time we open our eyes, we are surrounded by light, yet we continue to be fascinated by it. What is light and how does it behave? What causes colorblindness? How does a firefly glow and why is that so different from how fireworks produce different colors? In this course, we will discuss these and other questions, illustrating concepts with chemistry demonstrations and hands-on examples.
Dr. Samuel Tartakoff is a professor at St. Lawrence University and received his Ph.D. in organic chemistry from the University of California at Irvine. He teaches general and organic chemistry, as well as conducting research into new chemical reactions and potential new medicines. Other presenters include chemistry and biology students from St. Lawrence University, who will be leading portions of the discussion.
