      Hello there,

      At the moment I’m teaching some third year undergraduate students about polymer chemistry. We’re looking at things like nylon and kevlar and talking about how they are made and why they are good for the things we make out of them. I also teach our first year students about the periodic table and other bits of chemistry that help them find out what they’ve made in the lab.
      A lot of lectures are me standing talking, with powerpoint slides, but I also get the students do solve problems and answer questions.
