Alexander Lin
I am a 3rd-year Chemistry PhD candidate at UT Austin in Prof. Brian Belardi’s lab (located in the McKetta Department of Chemical Engineering). In my research, I am currently trying to engineer bio-like adhesions into minimal synthetic cells in order to construct synthetic tissue.
Atoms
Teach big concepts to little kids! Learn about some of the most fundamental concepts in science BEFORE the social pressure and intimidation of formal schooling.
Atoms are the essential building blocks for everything in the universe. From the water you drink, to the hair on your head, and the book in your hands — they’re all made out of the exact same atoms!
You’ll learn about the structure of an atom; protons, neutrons, and electrons; charge and mass properties; molecules and compounds; covalent and ionic bonds; the periodic table; and so much more. Basic Chemistry has never been such fun!
Deaf Scientist Time
