      Hi
      To be honest, I was never a real fan of chemistry… But I guess when I use to do it is so much funnier to see new colours or solids coming in your test tube! To me chemistry as always been a little like cooking, you mix some things, heat things up, filter them… And you end up either with a big stinky mess either with plastics! So I would go for the first option. But I think even if you do a lot of research in new chemical reactions you actually have to check a lot of chemical reactions happening…

      I don’t do any chemistry in my work, but if I were to pick one I would have to say I prefer to watch chemical reactions

      I don’t really look for new chemical reactions, and watching ones we already know about is difficult (but not impossible) with what I do
