Whacky colour changes, magic
disappearing water, blowing up dustbins, clouds of steam, thunder air
explosions. Are you ready to fasten your seatbelts and enjoy the ‘explosive’
journey? In his talk, Andrew aims to promote chemistry as the science of
remarkable changes, which are often overlooked yet so important in our everyday
life. And he does it brilliantly by performing an incredible series of 25
experiments in 15 minutes, totally amazing the audience (who rewards him with a
long and deserved standing ovation)! Andrew Z. Szydło
is an internationally acclaimed chemistry teacher. But he’s definitely not the
typical chemistry teacher you would expect… He holds a PhD in the History and
Philosophy of Science from UCL, and is an expert on the history of alchemy (his
1994 book ‘Water Which Does Not Wet Hands’ is considered to be the standard
reference work on the Polish alchemist Michael Sendivogius.) But his polymath
spirit extends further: he’s a violin, bugle and accordion player, as well as a
professional photographer. Throughout the years Andrew has wowed audiences all
around the world with his pyrotechnical approach to teaching and demonstrating
chemical sciences on stage and has appeared many times on TV. This talk was given
at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by
a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
