About sfarmer
I am a university professor who holds a doctorate in organic chemistry. In addition to working in the industry for a short while I have taught general and organic chemistry courses at three different campuses. After teaching chemistry for a while I, noticed that the more interesting and edgy aspects of chemistry were never discussed in textbooks and in lectures. To that end, I have created this blog to highlight the many strange ways chemistry shows up in our lives. I love giving talks to the public about how chemistry shows up in everyday life. If you have a group who might be interested in hearing me speak contact me farmers@sonoma.edu.
I have recently authored the book, Strange Chemistry: The Stories Your Chemistry Teacher Wouldn't Tell You, which available on amazon.
