Overall, I thought this was a really interesting presentation and actually one of my favorites so far. Maybe it’s due to the fact that I am a chemistry major and I enjoy the subject in general but the points made about Lavoisier and Priestly were interesting to me. I found the concept of thinking about air as if we never made any discoveries on it to be a good concept to imagine. I loved how we talked about the different components of air and you spoke more about the combustion side of air which I like the most. Finding out that Priestly had tuberculosis was also very interesting to me because that really helps me grasp how his dabbling in air came about. Great presentation about ancient chemistry and how it’s evolved to different ideas.
Thank you, Kadejah. I am glad you appreciated the talk and you found some of the same things interesting about this story as I do.
