Leuk om te lezen als je niks/nauwelijks iets van scheikundige onderwerpen afweet of wil zien hoe het allemaal verbonden is in je dagelijkse leven. Ik moet wel zeggen dat als je een enigszins scheikundige basis hebt of iets in die richting studeert, dat het wel veel herhaling is

In Chemistry for Breakfast, we follow Dr. Mai Thi Nguyen-Kim as she describes the chemistry of every day situations. What happens to your brain when your alarm suddenly wakes you up? How does toothpaste get your teeth clean? What really causes that BO scent from your co-worker (because let's admit it, we all know that one person...or are that person...don't be that person)? How does that glass of wine (or 5 glasses, I'm not judging) affect your brain? Nguyen-Kim will give you all the details on those and many other subjects. You don't have to be good at chemistry or even know the basics because the author does a great job of making it all easy to understand and approachable...which is good since I failed basic chemistry in college...3 times 🤣. This was a well written book with a good balance of humor and science. If you want to know more about Dr. Nguyen-Kim, you can find her channel on YouTube as she continues fighting stereotypes on women in the world of STEM!

Science!!!! I didn't like the negativity towards Torben. Wait, am I Torben? I was so impressed with how much chemistry I remembered from university!

I was reading this for a book club and enjoyed it, but I don't typically read nonfiction. Now that the club has finished it's unlikely that I'll keep reading.
