Elements of Genius: The Legacy of Chemistry in St. Andrews

At very long last, the exhibition that I've been working on since October opened on Friday!  It was very long and often exceedingly frustrating project, so I am immensely relieved that it is starting to wind down.  On the other hand, I now know more about the Chemistry Department than I ever imagined.  I was quite pleased to learn that one of the famous chemists highlighted in our exhibition lived in my house in the 1800s - pretty cool.

The exhibition may be open, but the project is far from over.  I am on the education team, so I get to run all of the programming.  It kicks off tomorrow with a primary school visit tomorrow and won't end until the middle of May.  I'm contemplating showing up to the workshop tomorrow with copious amounts of duct tape, you know, just in case. 

Here is the exhibition website, if you'd like to check it out.  It's still a bit under construction, and the podcast isn't up yet.  http://www-ah.st-andrews.ac.uk/eog/index.html


And here is the installation of and the finished exhibition!
