Human Chemistry 101

Human Chemistry 101 logoIn human thermodynamics education, Human Chemistry 101, a YouTube channel, is a semi-weekly educational video series on the subject of human chemistry, the science of the chemistry of human interactions. [1] The channel was conceived in December of 2007 by American chemical engineer Libb Thims as a tool to facilitate the reading and understanding of the two-volume, 834-page textbook Human Chemistry, published in September of that year, which, according to feedback, is a difficult read for many. [2] The first video, titled "human chemistry (introduction)", was posted on May 28, 2008.
