Funnily enough, my degree was in environmental science. I fell into cosmetic science as there weren't many jobs in the environment when I graduated. Best wishes teaching the girls chemistry. Did you know that the first practical chemist whose name we know was Maria the Jewess, after whom the Bain Marie is named? She was around some time in or before the third century. That might help counter the idea that chemistry is a male dominated subject. Regards Colin Thanks for the nice comment Whitlam, and I am really pleased you enjoy the site.

I'm a chem teacher in New Zealand and have just found you. As I teach at an all girls school it is great to be able to impart your knowledge when teaching organic! (I was an environment chemist in a previous life so know little about cosmetics). thanks so much, keep up the good work! I just want to thank you Colin for your great site.
