Let me make a recommendation. Summer is a time for ants to romp around, much to the annoyance of many people. Not me. I like ants, they are great little chemists. That’s why I’m suggesting Disney Pixar's “<a href="https://youtu.be/Ljk2YJ53_WI">A Bug’s Life</a>”. It is a lot of fun and we can even make it educational.</p> Wed, 15 Jul 2020 19:18:06 +0000 Joe Schwarcz PhD 8337 at /oss /oss/article/general-science/math-behind-movies <p>I remember back in high school math class, wondering aloud (to the teacher, no less- I was not shy) why I needed to take math. I was absolutely certain that I would never be entering a profession that required any sort of mathematical manipulation and thus it was clearly a waste of my time and brain power. To me, math was something that only statisticians used, or people who worked in the lab. Professions that involved any type of calculation did not appeal to me.</p> Thu, 06 Apr 2017 15:30:35 +0000 Emily Shore, B.A, Dipl. PR Management 2390 at /oss
