I came here to convince myself that I like chemistry

[an]

You know what's truly scary? How many lives, future Nobel Prize winners, future doctors, etc. were killed by unprofessional teachers...

Seeing this to motivate myself just before my chemistry exam!!😂
Actually worked!!

This really changed my perspective on chemistry. I've been struggling with it for two years now and made me feel so unmotivated. This TED Talk helped me understand the importance of chemistry rather than just taking the class because it's "required." Major kudos to this speaker. I'm so grateful for stumbling upon this video.

I desperately typed "how to like chemistry" in the search bar in fear of failing at college

[triple_gem_shining]

As a chem major I can confirm chemistry is amazing and fun!

[thercfguy]

Who else came here just to see what they could possibly say to make us hate chemistry less?

[audreylitteral]

Chemistry is by far my favourite subject. It genuinely brings me so much joy. I plan on majoring in chemistry, hopefully forensic chemistry, alongside pre-med.

Breaking bad really instilled my interest in chemistry. Teachers really sucked and dont have fond memories of chemistry. But i instantly fell in love with biology and as a deep interest in nutrition digged into biochemistry

[bshtream]

I always loved chemistry and will always do whether i will get good grades or not because i really feel excited to know about atoms and the chemistry of sub atomic particles. I am really fascinated by these electrons who are actually responsible for whatever we have and whatever we are today in someway or the other form. Thanks to those chemists and scientists who discovered the beauty of this subject before us so that we can see it. Now it's our duty to spread and know more about this subject. Thank you TedX for uploading such marvellous session.

OMG I love this, hoping to be good in chemistry someday.

My best experiences with chem is how sleep gives me serotonin. My chem teacher sucked but I'm taking it again in college and going to tutoring A LOT. I want to be a physical therapist so I need it.

[valerialugoperrett]

Chemistry SQUAD POWER !!! Loved this speech. I would have liked to see it live.

[MistaFadora]

I love chemistry even if I don’t understand it

[sandushi]

chemistry is an interesting subject but for some reason,  I can't bare it. I wish I could like it

[lowerbackpain]

One of the best Ted talks I’ve ever seen and I hated chemistry in high school 😂

[Zman]

I just wanted a video to continue to blow my mind. I’m in gen orgo. I’ve known basic chem since two years back. Everyday it continues to blow my mind. My Dr(TA) instructor even joked that: “it’ll only get crazier, don’t lose your mind yet!”

[klyplays]

Only fun if you can remember all the damn organic reactions.

[ZhiLiangF]

[slicesofstalebread]
