What do organic chemists do and why are their jobs among many of the most important jobs in the world?
In this class, students will (1) undergo a whirlwind tour of how organic chemistry has changed the course of human civilization and (2) develop an insight into what organic chemists do and how they think about problems. We will discuss what makes something an "organic" molecule (hint: it's not what you think) and look at case studies involving extremely influential medicines, foods, dyes, and pollutants that have affected the global population in recent memory.
