Chemistry is everywhere, and involves everything. But how did chemistry get to be what it is? I'm Steve Cohen, a chemist and writer, bringing you The History of Chemistry. This podcast explores the development of chemistry from prehistoric times to the present, including the people and societies who made chemistry what it is today. The History of Chemistry is for you, whether you hated chemistry in high school, or got a PhD in inorganic chemistry. We'll explore how chemistry affected art, music, language, politics and vice-versa. Whether it's ancient Greek philosophers, medieval alchemists, or modern laboratory apparatus, it's all here.

I'm about to start a biochemistry degree and frankly I love learning the history of any discipline that strikes my fancy-and this podcast is good for even just a casual listener.this podcast builds a sensible web to start placing practical knowledge on.

A great place to begin

Fascinating and well presented
