Chemistry is...

Wherever we turn in everyday life, there is exciting science and technology to discover. This also applies to chemistry. For example, if we open our eyes, we would see nothing without chemical processes - absolutely nothing! With a series of cartoons "Chemistry is when..." we draw attention to everyday chemical processes.

Each drawing is accompanied by a short, easy-to-understand text; the corresponding website opens when you click on the drawings below. The text explains the respective chemistry in everyday life in simple language. "Explaining" in this case does not just mean praising the advantages, but also naming the risks. A few selected links lead you further.

The focus of the drawings is our friendly green title monster, called "Erlenmeyer worm" (see Nachr. Chem. 2021, 69 (19), 96 ). All drawings are by Maike Hettinger.

Would you like to distribute postcards and stickers with the Erlenmeyer flask cartoons at a public event? Request the materials, specifying the quantity (minimum order quantity 25 pieces per motif), in the GDCh shop at shop.gdch.de/collections/werbemittel.
