Series Details

About

Recently, I heard my friend claiming that Biology is just applied Chemistry, and that Chemistry is just applied Physics. That got me thinking... to what extent is this actually true?

In this series, we'll take a look at how Chemistry can overlap with Biology and Physics, through multiple sessions aiming to highlight the ways Chemistry is used in any other science subject!

Anyone can join, as long as you have just a bit of middle school science knowledge. We hope this series inspires you to branch out of just one science and understand how STEM fields are all related!
