Great Science Stories


ID : 2715   

« back to classes page
Science is full of surprises. Dyes, accidentally
discovered, launched the modern pharmaceutical
industry. A failed experiment opened the door to new
physics. Discoveries are never just facts. They are
moments of creativity, struggle, and chance with farreaching consequences. In this course, we will
explore the human side of science, tracing
breakthroughs in biology, chemistry, physics, and
more. We will ask not only what was found, but how
and why it matters.

Dr. Johnnie Hendrickson is a Teaching Professor in the
School of Molecular Sciences at Arizona State University;
he holds a PhD in chemistry, and is the author of the
textbook “Chemistry in the World.” His academic work
focuses on science communication, the reciprocal
relationship between science and society.
