The birthday present " Igniting Chemistry Experiments " for the 20th anniversary of the SEC Division is more than just a collection of anecdotes. The more than 30 contributions also document and illustrate in diverse ways why the art of experimentation is so exceptionally important for chemistry.
Just as the sparkler on the cover sparks, so too did the authors' first experiments ignite the spark for the subject of chemistry. It always started with the experiment.
The nearly thirty articles collected in the brochure, as well as the interviews with Nobel laureates Gerhard Ertl and Benjamin List, describe the career paths of chemists and demonstrate the outstanding importance of early experimentation as a lasting source of enthusiasm, understanding, and learning responsibility. Clearly, the foundations for successful careers in chemistry are laid as early as experimental school lessons.
