The CHEMIST is short for Chemistry, History, Etymology: Mixed, Interesting Stories on Tape. Based out of Brown University, this series builds off of the research of Professor Amit Basu's project on chemical etymologies, Aetoumos. It presents chemical histories through quick, accessible episodes that explore a family of chemical compounds and the stories, characters, and language that come along with it!
