This year’s Chemistry Advent calendar has only 7 days to go! If you’ve missed it so far, this year we’re building a timeline of key contributors to our understanding of chemistry, from the beginnings of modern chemistry in 1780 all the way through the present day. Recognise any of the scientists featured so far? Find out more about them all by following along here.

We spend a lot of time on this site looking at the chemistry that goes on all around us. However, there are also chemical reactions taking place in every one of your cells. This Chemunicate graphic takes a brief look at mitochondria and the reactions that take place inside them that power our bodies.

This week (12-18 November) is #RealTimeChem Week! For the unaware, #RealTimChem is a chemistry community on Twitter that encourages chemists to tweet about their chemistry. As in previous years, I put together the banners to promote this year’s event which has the theme #Chem4Life. As part of it, chemists in the community will be celebrating the chemistry you come across every day – so it’s worth checking out even if you’re not a chemist yourself!
