Christmas, community and chemistrees

We celebrate all kinds of occasions from saints days to the Super Bowl and Christmas. For scientists and science teachers, there are some extra special ones, like Pi day and Mole day. And for chemists at Christmas, there’s also the added bonus of the chemistree, a chemistry Christmas tree. Education coordinator and Trinity College Dublin chemistry staff member, John O’Donoghue explains how the chemistree plays an important part in bringing the worldwide chemistry community, from pupils and teachers to researchers, together.
