Description
This program will not be recorded.
Chemistry abounds in the real world, but few reactions in chemistry feel as intimate as those happening inside our bodies. In this class, we'll learn about the molecules we eat, why we need them, and why nutritional research sometimes seems so confusing and fraught, as though scientists can't make up their minds. We'll also explore the science behind popular diets, learn how food molecules fuel our activities, and tackle what some of the latest science reveals about the microbiome's importance.
