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. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bSMx0NS0XfY">https://www.youtube.com/watch...
Of course, we don& #39;t cover things on Crash Course unless they& #39;re important. But orgo has always been a bit of a white whale for me. See, it& #39;s hard...and it& #39;s also maybe /intentionally/ hard.
I like organic chemistry, I really do, it& #39;s super important. But it& #39;s hard to go through two semesters of it without thinking, "Really? More of this?" And so there& #39;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& #39;t think anyone& #39;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& #39;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: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bSMx0NS0XfY">https://www.youtube.com/watch... and you can support us on patreon here: http://www.patreon.com/crashcourse ">https://www.patreon.com/crashcour...
