About mevans and Cheersical Education
I’m a grad student in organic chemistry at a huge state university in the Midwest. I started this blog in 2007 as a means of improving my scientific writing skills and reviewing a book or two now and then (not always chemistry related). Since then I’ve specialized in chemical education—more specifically, the application of educational technologies to the teaching of organic chemistry. Primarily, I develop the learning environment for the second-semester non-majors organic course at my university.
Basically, there are very few good chemical education blogs out there, so I hope to fill that niche. I also enjoy reading the chemical literature, though, so you’ll get a little bit of everything here.

that chili looked yummy!
Hi, I’m a student in the education program at the University of Maine in Farmington. I want to use your picture of the British flag for my Webquest on the American Revolution. A webquest is an activity students will perform using the internet to gather information. I want to use the graphic to add to the webpage to make it more visually appealing. Please let me know if that is fine with you.
Thank you.

Do you know Prof Fred Luzzio? He was with me at Harvard years ago
Quintus
I know the name, because of this article. I attended Kentucky for undergrad, though, so I never knew him personally. Small world!
well, you helped me a lot about “acetonitrile” which I got into while reading an article about photoinitiated bond dissociation. Thanks a lot!
