Science/TechHistory
Written By Taylor Bledsoe

In Sam Kean's bestselling book, "The Disappearing Spoon," he dives deep into the periodic table, but not the way most people would think. In each chapter, he relates stories about each element on the table. Join us as we discuss some of chemistry's impacts on the world as well as how chemistry should be taught in schools. Should we focus on the technical know-how or the entertaining tales?

Sam Kean is the New York Times bestselling author of six books,
including “The Icepick Surgeon,” “The Bastard Brigade,” “The Dueling
Neurosurgeons,” and “The Disappearing Spoon.”
