OK, not really. But if you missed last week’s event with Sam Kean, now’s your chance to hear a great talk on some of the history you didn’t learn in chemistry class. Author Sam Kean stopped by the Homewood campus on November 3 to read from his bestselling book, The Disappearing Spoon.

The link below is a podcast of Sam’s talk, in which he spins a few great tales of elements and their history and discusses how he  came to love the periodic table, an affection that led to his career as a  science writer.
