AHHH! If you follow the things we do, you may have heard the name Deboki Chakravarti. Well, @okidoki_boki is hosting a new Crash Course on organic chemistry that I think is going to be both VERY GOOD and VERY IMPORTANT.

Of course, we don't cover things on Crash Course unless they're important. But orgo has always been a bit of a white whale for me. See, it's hard...and it's also maybe /intentionally/ hard.

I like organic chemistry, I really do, it's super important. But it's hard to go through two semesters of it without thinking, "Really? More of this?" And so there's long been speculation that schools use it to weed out students who are on a medicine track.

And this kinda infuriates me, because (send it to me if you have it) I don't think anyone's produced any research saying that doing well in orgo indicates that someone is going to be a good doctor.

And we /desperately/ need more doctors in the world. Part of the reason medicine is so expensive is that there simply aren't enough doctors to fill all of the demand for them. So, in a real way, I honestly believe that the difficulty of o-chem is really bad for society.

So we want to make it easier and we want to do it for free. Check it out here: and you can support us on patreon here: http://www.patreon.com/crashcourse
