This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. How creative can science be? Alan demonstrates just how inventive and creative we must be to practice science correctly. To do this, he uses his “favorite” subject of science: organic chemistry. Taking a small slice of a small slice of organic chemistry, he shows just how limitless our opportunities to create are.
