"Chemistry in Everyday Life"

This chemistry course taught by Visiting Assistant Professor of Chemistry Yang Yang "seeks to comprehend chemistry as a science, but equally appreciate its artistic aspect and the complementary roles a chemist plays as both scientist and artist."

Our Cool Classes blog series highlights interesting, unusual, and unique courses that enrich the Haverford College experience.
