Are chance and science two mutually exclusive opposites? Not at all, because many discoveries and achievements in the field of chemistry are due to chance. For example, perhaps there would be no car tyres made of rubber or sticky notes would not yet have been invented. Dr Andreas Hoischen will be retracing some of these historical accidental discoveries in his Christmas lecture on Thursday, 14 December. The traditional chemical experiment lecture will also focus on Christmas. Anyone who would like to learn tips and tricks on how chemistry can brighten up the festive season is invited to the Auditorium maximum at Paderborn University from 6.15 pm.
Interested parties of all ages are welcome. Further information can be found on the website of the Department of Chemistry.
