Bio

I am a teacher-scholar at the Fashion Institute of Technology who teaches cosmetic and forensic chemistry and systems thinking to non-science majors. My research focuses on upcycling waste resources, such as waste lipids into functional materials like soap. I helped develop some of the Toxicology for Chemists resources which I advise you to check out.

Likes: Renewable resources, biocatalysis, gels, Bloom's taxonomy, the scientific method

Dislikes: when students forget to put on safety goggles, the sandwiches at conferences, SDS without much information

A Practical and Safe Demonstration of Brine Electrolysis Using a Button Cell Marko Jeran, Julian Silverman Experimental demonstration. Test tube (3) after reaction, where the natural indicator changed the colour, comparable with test tube (1) (solution of indicator red cabbage) and test tube (2) (solution of indicator red cabbage, with addition of salt water). Electrolysis of an aqueous NaCl solution gives a mixture of hydrogen (H2) and chlorine (Cl2) gases and an aqueous sodium hydroxide solution (NaOH).
