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.

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
