Pint of Science public lecture on organic chemistry

Have you ever given a thought about the molecules you interact with? The molecules you eat and drink every day? The molecules that let you differentiate smells and colours? The molecules used in scans to help your doctor diagnose illness, or the ones shaped into tiny pills to cure you? It’s all organic chemistry!

In these talks we will walk you through some of the common compounds you encounter and explain how our bodies, also made of organic molecules, interact with them in different contexts.
