@eedcAndy This approach is brilliant! Visualizing organic chemistry can transform the learning experience. It's not just about memorizing reactions; it's about feeling the flow of mechanisms. I wonder how this could change student engagement in complex topics.

[eedc @eedcAndy]

Organic chemistry, but make it visual.

Watch carbonyl mechanisms come alive through flowing curly arrows, synced to music—see nucleophilic attack and electron movement unfold step by step.

A new way to see reaction mechanisms.

Don't turn a hair on #BeBaldAndBeFreeDay The story of minoxidil shows how serendipitous drug discovery can be; it first came to market as Loniten, a drug used to treat high blood pressure, but users found it increased hair growth & a topical formulation was developed #hairraising

Near the knuckle #WorldArthritisDay Recently, when N-acetylcysteine was added to drinking water given to mice with osteoarthritis, it reduced the level of joint damage to that in healthy, control mice; this antioxidant stops damage to cartilage tissue (oxidative stress) #radical

As an Ig Nobel prize & ice-cream fan, a big shout out ahead of #AdaLovelaceDay to Dr Mayu Yamamoto (Int. Medical Center of Japan); 2007 prize winner/inspired a new ice cream flavour (Yum-A-Moto Vanilla Twist) for developing a way to extract vanillin from cow dung #creamofthecrop

Relate to 8 #WorldOctopusDay! The gene for encoding the serotonin transporter in our brain is also found in certain octopuses, despite their evolutionary lineage being separated from our own by over 500 million yrs; they are more similar to us than we think! #greatmindsthinkalike

Time for an early bath #BathtubDay! Breaking Bad fans will remember the bathtub scene; using hydrofluoric acid to dissolve a body. HF is toxic & corrosive reacting with metals & the Si-O bonds in glass, but is classified as a weak acid as it does not dissociate in H2O #intheflesh
