Drennan. 9 00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:31,530 You're going to be learning more about me 10 00:00:31,530 --> 00:00:33,640 as this morning goes on. 11 00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:36,670 Everybody should have a handout. 12 00:00:36,670 --> 00:00:39,850 If you do not have a handout, Aaron 13 00:00:39,850 --> 00:00:41,410 will come around and give you one 14 00:00:41,410 --> 00:00:43,540 if you just raise your hand. 15 00:00:43,540 --> 00:00:45,760 There's a few in the back that just came in. 16 00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:49,120 We will be giving out-- look for TAs as you come in the room. 17 00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:52,180 We'll have handouts for you every day so look for them. 18 00:00:52,180 --> 00:00:54,460 And if you come in late we'll normally leave them 19 00:00:54,460 --> 00:00:56,530 in the entrance way here. 20 00:00:56,530 --> 00:01:00,800 I know that some of you have a long walk between classes, 21 00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:02,510 so the handouts will be available. 22 00:01:02,510 --> 00:01:06,290 So when you come in, grab your handout and come on into class. 23 00:01:06,290 --> 00:01:09,400 So now, let me tell you a little more about these things lecture 24 00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:14,380 notes that you can bring a pen or pencil to class to write on. 25 00:01:14,380 --> 00:01:17,780 So this is the summary for today. 26 00:01:17,780 --> 00:01:20,200 So today is really more about announcements and what 27 00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:23,410 we're going to cover, but there are some features 28 00:01:23,410 --> 00:01:27,730 of today's handouts that you can use throughout the semester. 29 00:01:27,730 --> 00:01:32,410 So lecture summaries will always have 30 00:01:32,410 --> 00:01:36,340 the reading for the class for that day's class. 31 00:01:36,340 --> 00:01:39,770 So when you're going back over things and thinking about it, 32 00:01:39,770 --> 00:01:41,320 you can always look at what reading 33 00:01:41,320 --> 00:01:43,300 was associated with the class. 34 00:01:43,300 --> 00:01:46,220 They'll also always have a reading for the next class, 35 00:01:46,220 --> 00:01:47,740 so you can read ahead which is good 36 00:01:47,740 --> 00:01:49,550 for the pre-lecture questions. 37 00:01:49,550 --> 00:01:54,550 So now I want to give you a sense of the material. 38 00:01:54,550 --> 00:01:57,190 So we had this on our list of topics today. 39 00:01:57,190 --> 00:01:58,210 General information. 40 00:01:58,210 --> 00:02:00,910 We've gone through course material overview 41 00:02:00,910 --> 00:02:03,460 and introductions to the teaching team, 42 00:02:03,460 --> 00:02:09,840 but it's MIT so we need to start with a quiz. 43 00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:12,004 The quizzes. 44 00:02:12,004 --> 00:02:13,545 Can you tell me who these people are? 45 00:02:17,260 --> 00:02:19,860 So who is This 46 00:02:19,860 --> 00:02:21,130 AUDIENCE: you. 47 00:02:21,130 --> 00:02:23,750 CATHERINE DRENNAN: It is me. 48 00:02:23,750 --> 00:02:26,110 This is my college yearbook picture. 49 00:02:26,110 --> 00:02:29,560 So one day you will have one of these. 50 00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:30,666 Who is this? 51 00:02:30,666 --> 00:02:32,239 AUDIENCE: It's you. 52 00:02:32,239 --> 00:02:33,530 CATHERINE DRENNAN: It's not me. 53 00:02:33,530 --> 00:02:36,310 People say that, but thank you. 54 00:02:36,310 --> 00:02:37,741 It is Lisa Kudrow. 55 00:02:40,390 --> 00:02:43,980 So who knows who Lisa Kudrow is? 56 00:02:43,980 --> 00:02:47,420 Friends, yes. 57 00:02:47,420 --> 00:02:51,460 So Lisa Kudrow and I were classmates. 58 00:02:51,460 --> 00:02:53,600 We were in the same year. 59 00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:55,300 So you can look at who's next to you 60 00:02:55,300 --> 00:02:57,460 and figure out who in your row is 61 00:02:57,460 --> 00:03:01,330 going to be that famous person that one day you can say, yes, 62 00:03:01,330 --> 00:03:03,175 I was classmates with them. 63 00:03:08,290 --> 00:03:09,768 So Lisa and I were classmates. 64 00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:17,550 What do you think Lisa went to college to study? 65 00:03:21,310 --> 00:03:24,430 I heard the correct answer out there. 66 00:03:24,430 --> 00:03:27,670 It was in fact biology. 67 00:03:27,670 --> 00:03:32,140 What do you think I went to college to study? 68 00:03:32,140 --> 00:03:34,310 Yes, some people have watched my OpenCourseWare 69 00:03:34,310 --> 00:03:36,100 and know these things. 70 00:03:36,100 --> 00:03:38,650 Yes, theater, drama, biopsychology. 71 00:03:38,650 --> 00:03:41,400 That's kind of like course nine. 72 00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:43,540 That's what I was interested in. 73 00:03:43,540 --> 00:03:45,562 What do you think Lisa majored in? 74 00:03:45,562 --> 00:03:47,170 AUDIENCE: Bio. 75 00:03:47,170 --> 00:03:49,120 CATHERINE DRENNAN: Biology? 76 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:49,780 Or drama? 77 00:03:49,780 --> 00:03:52,060 It was biology. 78 00:03:52,060 --> 00:03:54,970 What do you think I majored in? 79 00:03:54,970 --> 00:03:56,800 It was chemistry. 80 00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:59,680 And of course, we all know that Lisa is an actress 81 00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,680 and I am a chemistry professor. 82 00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:05,920 So I like to start every class with this 83 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:09,970 because I think it says something very important. 84 00:04:09,970 --> 00:04:16,240 I did not like chemistry in high school. 85 00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:17,200 I was in chorus. 86 00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:20,440 I would schedule every one of my music lessons 87 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:22,510 during the chemistry class. 88 00:04:22,510 --> 00:04:25,660 I did everything to avoid having to attend chemistry 89 00:04:25,660 --> 00:04:28,630 in high school, and then I went to college 90 00:04:28,630 --> 00:04:31,240 and they said you have to take chemistry if you're thinking 91 00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:33,340 of a biopsychology major. 92 00:04:33,340 --> 00:04:35,650 And I was like, I've taken chemistry. 93 00:04:35,650 --> 00:04:38,290 I'm quite convinced chemistry is not 94 00:04:38,290 --> 00:04:41,020 relevant to biology in any way. 95 00:04:41,020 --> 00:04:42,760 I was told I was wrong. 96 00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:45,100 I was sure I was right. 97 00:04:45,100 --> 00:04:49,030 I took chemistry and realized that chemistry 98 00:04:49,030 --> 00:04:52,430 can be very different in different circumstances 99 00:04:52,430 --> 00:04:56,020 and that everybody can find their appreciation 100 00:04:56,020 --> 00:04:59,180 for chemistry at a different time in their lives. 101 00:04:59,180 --> 00:05:01,970 Some of you right now already like chemistry, 102 00:05:01,970 --> 00:05:03,850 but a lot of you probably have not 103 00:05:03,850 --> 00:05:06,220 found your love for chemistry yet. 104 00:05:06,220 --> 00:05:08,680 Some of you may find that love for chemistry 105 00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:09,790 during this semester. 106 00:05:09,790 --> 00:05:12,610 I'm hoping it'll be a large fraction of you. 107 00:05:12,610 --> 00:05:15,100 Some of you may not find your love for chemistry 108 00:05:15,100 --> 00:05:18,400 until next year or senior year at MIT or even 109 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:22,810 in graduate school or even when you have a job later on. 110 00:05:22,810 --> 00:05:26,530 Sometimes when I'm traveling around-- and as a professor 111 00:05:26,530 --> 00:05:28,120 I travel the world and give talks 112 00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,220 and I'm chatting with someone in an airplane 113 00:05:30,220 --> 00:05:33,310 or on a bus or something and they say, what do you do? 114 00:05:33,310 --> 00:05:36,220 And then I say, oh, I teach chemistry. 115 00:05:36,220 --> 00:05:38,682 And I always kind of watch the reaction to that. 116 00:05:38,682 --> 00:05:40,390 And some of them are like, uh, chemistry, 117 00:05:40,390 --> 00:05:44,200 and other people say, boy, I'm an engineer now 118 00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:46,420 and I have to work with chemists all the time 119 00:05:46,420 --> 00:05:49,360 and I really wish I had paid more attention in chemistry 120 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:51,580 class because we need to work together 121 00:05:51,580 --> 00:05:54,010 and I need to understand more what they're doing. 122 00:05:54,010 --> 00:05:58,150 So some people do not find their love or their appreciation 123 00:05:58,150 --> 00:06:01,330 for chemistry until they have a career later in life. 124 00:06:01,330 --> 00:06:05,540 So I'm not sure when it's going to be for all of you, 125 00:06:05,540 --> 00:06:08,470 but if you have not found it yet I 126 00:06:08,470 --> 00:06:12,880 am hoping to find a connection-- your connection to chemistry. 127 00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:14,980 What about chemistry relates to what 128 00:06:14,980 --> 00:06:17,080 you want to do in the future? 129 00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:19,780 And one reason that I did not appreciate chemistry 130 00:06:19,780 --> 00:06:21,220 in high school is I didn't really 131 00:06:21,220 --> 00:06:23,740 understand who chemists were and I didn't really 132 00:06:23,740 --> 00:06:25,750 understand what chemistry was. 133 00:06:25,750 --> 00:06:28,120 What people used chemistry for. 134 00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:31,750 And part of the reason I think were these pictures 135 00:06:31,750 --> 00:06:35,980 that are often shown in intro courses for chemistry 136 00:06:35,980 --> 00:06:37,990 and in your intro textbooks. 137 00:06:37,990 --> 00:06:40,630 That's partly why I think $8 is a good price 138 00:06:40,630 --> 00:06:44,750 to spend on these chemistry textbooks. 139 00:06:44,750 --> 00:06:48,310 These are great chemists but they're all dead, 140 00:06:48,310 --> 00:06:51,790 and that really gives the message that chemistry 141 00:06:51,790 --> 00:06:53,680 is not a living discipline. 142 00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:56,320 Chemistry was a thing that people used to do 143 00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:58,960 and it was exciting at that time, 144 00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:01,600 but then when they got rid of their powdered wigs 145 00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:05,560 they moved on to other fields. 146 00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:08,410 So I'm going to be showing you some different pictures 147 00:07:08,410 --> 00:07:09,730 in this class. 148 00:07:09,730 --> 00:07:11,920 I'm going to be showing you these pictures. 149 00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:14,080 Some of the old pictures will be there too, 150 00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:16,240 but every time I show you a dead white guy 151 00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:19,390 I want to show you someone who is alive. 152 00:07:19,390 --> 00:07:20,950 So these are living chemists. 153 00:07:20,950 --> 00:07:24,140 People who are using chemistry every day of their lives, 154 00:07:24,140 --> 00:07:27,610 and I'm going to be showing short videos of these people 155 00:07:27,610 --> 00:07:30,460 telling you how they're using chemistry 156 00:07:30,460 --> 00:07:34,280 and what chemistry is being used for today. 157 00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:36,850 So you'll be hearing-- and this is a series I like call 158 00:07:36,850 --> 00:07:38,830 in their own words. 159 00:07:38,830 --> 00:07:41,710 Another thing that I didn't appreciate about chemistry 160 00:07:41,710 --> 00:07:46,210 was in the lab course I had a strong base and a weak acid 161 00:07:46,210 --> 00:07:48,820 and we would drop, drop, drop, drop, 162 00:07:48,820 --> 00:07:50,680 drop until it turned pink. 163 00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:52,870 And then we could calculate the molecular weight 164 00:07:52,870 --> 00:07:54,130 of an unknown weak acid. 165 00:07:54,130 --> 00:07:59,470 And I ask myself, is this like a real pressing problem? 166 00:07:59,470 --> 00:08:03,610 A lot of weak acids out there somewhere that if only we 167 00:08:03,610 --> 00:08:06,670 knew the molecular weight the problems of the world 168 00:08:06,670 --> 00:08:07,375 would be solved? 169 00:08:10,420 --> 00:08:14,230 But it turns out that this is kind of a good intro lab, 170 00:08:14,230 --> 00:08:18,130 but it's in fact not what chemists do every day. 171 00:08:18,130 --> 00:08:20,170 We will learn about titrations because we 172 00:08:20,170 --> 00:08:22,969 need to know PKA because PKA is important, 173 00:08:22,969 --> 00:08:24,760 but we don't have a lab and we're not going 174 00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:26,450 to be doing that experiment. 175 00:08:26,450 --> 00:08:28,480 So what is chemistry research? 176 00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:31,690 Chemistry research is all of these following things. 177 00:08:31,690 --> 00:08:34,942 So creating quantum dots to be used in surgery. 178 00:08:34,942 --> 00:08:36,400 How do you know if the doctor's got 179 00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:37,990 the right amount of a tumor? 180 00:08:37,990 --> 00:08:39,970 You don't want to take more flesh 181 00:08:39,970 --> 00:08:42,490 than you need but you don't want to miss some of the cancer. 182 00:08:42,490 --> 00:08:46,060 So you want to image exactly where that cancer is. 183 00:08:46,060 --> 00:08:49,090 Chemistry is designing sensors to find explosives 184 00:08:49,090 --> 00:08:50,050 in war zones. 185 00:08:50,050 --> 00:08:53,880 This is a really important problem right now. 186 00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:56,890 Biofuels, energy, alternative energy-- 187 00:08:56,890 --> 00:08:58,000 that's what chemistry is. 188 00:08:58,000 --> 00:08:59,800 Using basic principles to figure out 189 00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:02,410 how to design better biofuels. 190 00:09:02,410 --> 00:09:04,180 Or making new pharmaceuticals. 191 00:09:04,180 --> 00:09:06,370 We haven't really produced new antibiotics 192 00:09:06,370 --> 00:09:08,950 in a long time in this country, and a lot 193 00:09:08,950 --> 00:09:11,950 of things that we thought used to be treatable conditions 194 00:09:11,950 --> 00:09:14,380 now are no longer so treatable because we 195 00:09:14,380 --> 00:09:17,380 don't have new antibiotics and the bugs are becoming 196 00:09:17,380 --> 00:09:19,030 resistant to the old ones. 197 00:09:19,030 --> 00:09:21,370 This is what chemistry research is today. 198 00:09:21,370 --> 00:09:25,030 This is what you're going to be using chemical principles for. 199 00:09:25,030 --> 00:09:26,497 So what chemical principles are you 200 00:09:26,497 --> 00:09:29,080 going to be learning that will help you solve these real world 201 00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:30,250 problems? 202 00:09:30,250 --> 00:09:32,890 So we need to learn about matter and we 203 00:09:32,890 --> 00:09:34,804 need to know how matter reacts. 204 00:09:34,804 --> 00:09:36,220 So in the first half of the course 205 00:09:36,220 --> 00:09:38,077 we're going to start with atomic theory. 206 00:09:38,077 --> 00:09:39,910 There is going to be a little bit of history 207 00:09:39,910 --> 00:09:40,900 involved in that. 208 00:09:40,900 --> 00:09:44,000 Talking about the discovery of the nucleus, electrons, 209 00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:45,597 protons. 210 00:09:45,597 --> 00:09:47,680 And so we're going to have a little bit of history 211 00:09:47,680 --> 00:09:48,910 and some cool demos. 212 00:09:48,910 --> 00:09:50,980 We're going to move on to the periodic table. 213 00:09:50,980 --> 00:09:52,870 That's the chemist toolbox. 214 00:09:52,870 --> 00:09:56,110 Those are the elements that we can combine to make things, 215 00:09:56,110 --> 00:09:58,660 and when we combine them to make things they need to bond 216 00:09:58,660 --> 00:10:00,430 so we're going to talk about bonding. 217 00:10:00,430 --> 00:10:01,690 And they're going to form molecules, 218 00:10:01,690 --> 00:10:04,190 and we need to think about the structures of those molecules 219 00:10:04,190 --> 00:10:06,100 because the structures dictate the properties 220 00:10:06,100 --> 00:10:09,050 of those molecules of that matter. 221 00:10:09,050 --> 00:10:11,570 And then molecules can react. 222 00:10:11,570 --> 00:10:13,970 So we're going to talk about how they react, 223 00:10:13,970 --> 00:10:17,660 and whether a reaction is going to go is about thermodynamics. 224 00:10:17,660 --> 00:10:19,607 Is it going to be spontaneous? 225 00:10:19,607 --> 00:10:22,190 But then, we also need to know if it's faster or if it's slow. 226 00:10:22,190 --> 00:10:22,970 That's kinetics. 227 00:10:22,970 --> 00:10:25,070 So we're going to cover both of those things. 228 00:10:25,070 --> 00:10:26,480 Chemical equilibrium. 229 00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:28,490 You can have a reaction that goes one way 230 00:10:28,490 --> 00:10:31,730 and is going in the reverse direction at the same time. 231 00:10:31,730 --> 00:10:34,250 And there'll be an equilibrium constant associated 232 00:10:34,250 --> 00:10:35,785 with that reaction, but sometimes 233 00:10:35,785 --> 00:10:37,910 you really want to go more in the forward direction 234 00:10:37,910 --> 00:10:39,410 to make the thing you want to make. 235 00:10:39,410 --> 00:10:41,690 So you need to think about how the reaction quotient 236 00:10:41,690 --> 00:10:44,810 queue is related to the equilibrium constant K. 237 00:10:44,810 --> 00:10:48,140 And if you're the Green Lantern, equilibrium constants 238 00:10:48,140 --> 00:10:49,230 are meaningless. 239 00:10:49,230 --> 00:10:50,990 You have the Green Lantern ring and you 240 00:10:50,990 --> 00:10:54,650 can push that equilibrium in any direction that you want. 241 00:10:54,650 --> 00:10:57,740 If you're the Green Lantern, Q is always greater than K. 242 00:10:57,740 --> 00:11:00,950 But if you're a student of chemistry, 243 00:11:00,950 --> 00:11:02,930 you actually can become a super hero 244 00:11:02,930 --> 00:11:04,940 by learning about those chemical principles. 245 00:11:04,940 --> 00:11:08,810 And then, you can drive Q to be greater than K as well. 246 00:11:08,810 --> 00:11:12,200 So I want to teach you how to be a super hero. 247 00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:15,620 I also am going to teach you about solubility and acid base 248 00:11:15,620 --> 00:11:17,990 and oxidation reduction reactions 249 00:11:17,990 --> 00:11:20,690 because those are really the fundamental types of reactions 250 00:11:20,690 --> 00:11:25,160 that occur in biology, in materials, and everything. 251 00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:26,900 And a little unit on transition metals. 252 00:11:26,900 --> 00:11:28,610 That middle part of the periodic table 253 00:11:28,610 --> 00:11:31,700 where you have iron and cobalt and copper and nickel 254 00:11:31,700 --> 00:11:33,440 and all those amazing elements that 255 00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:37,560 really allow you to do the most challenging chemical reactions. 256 00:11:37,560 --> 00:11:39,650 Those are especially fun, and if you 257 00:11:39,650 --> 00:11:41,640 want to have the power of chemistry 258 00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:45,020 you've got to know about the transition metals. 259 00:11:45,020 --> 00:11:50,080 So without chemistry you wouldn't be alive. 260 00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:53,547 Your body are a series of chemical reactions. 261 00:11:53,547 --> 00:11:55,880 You wouldn't be wearing the clothes that you're wearing. 262 00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:57,560 Pretty much a chemist figured out 263 00:11:57,560 --> 00:12:01,550 the material that you're wearing and or how to process it. 264 00:12:01,550 --> 00:12:06,400 And I think really importantly, you couldn't spell MIT without. 265 00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:08,090 Chemistry 266 00:12:08,090 --> 00:12:10,880 We have the M from physics, the I for math, 267 00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:13,910 and we have the T from chemistry. 268 00:12:13,910 --> 00:12:16,250 So if you want to spell MIT you gotta 269 00:12:16,250 --> 00:12:19,760 learn about the ideal gas law. 270 00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:22,520 And you wouldn't have the paper that you might be currently 271 00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:25,220 writing on without chemistry. 272 00:12:25,220 --> 00:12:29,930 So you really should study chemistry 273 00:12:29,930 --> 00:12:32,390 because the major challenges of our time 274 00:12:32,390 --> 00:12:35,060 require chemistry knowledge to fix them. 275 00:12:35,060 --> 00:12:38,750 Treating human disease requires an understanding of chemistry. 276 00:12:38,750 --> 00:12:41,390 Solving the energy problem requires an understanding 277 00:12:41,390 --> 00:12:42,200 of chemistry. 278 00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:44,840 And I believe people will come up with alternative energy. 279 00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:46,700 I'm just less convinced that they're not 280 00:12:46,700 --> 00:12:49,400 going to destroy the environment while they do it. 281 00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:51,350 So I really think we need people thinking 282 00:12:51,350 --> 00:12:54,720 about solving the energy problem who care about the environment 283 00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:56,690 and can use chemistry to think about how 284 00:12:56,690 --> 00:12:58,670 we can protect the environment. 285 00:12:58,670 --> 00:13:00,800 So why do I care so much about this? 286 00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:02,930 And that's because yesterday morning I 287 00:13:02,930 --> 00:13:06,920 walked my daughter to her first day of first grade. 288 00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:08,210 She's six years old. 289 00:13:08,210 --> 00:13:11,210 She's starting school, and I need 290 00:13:11,210 --> 00:13:13,940 people to know chemistry to make the world a better 291 00:13:13,940 --> 00:13:15,060 place for her. 292 00:13:15,060 --> 00:13:17,390 So what I can do as a mother who's a chemist 293 00:13:17,390 --> 00:13:21,110 is find the smartest people I can find, which I've done, 294 00:13:21,110 --> 00:13:23,840 and then teach them the chemical principles 295 00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:26,750 they know to make the world a better place for my daughter. 296 00:13:26,750 --> 00:13:28,520 So what I'm hoping that you will do here 297 00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:32,150 in my course objectives-- I said I'd get back to these. 298 00:13:32,150 --> 00:13:34,720 I want you to have a working knowledge of chemistry 299 00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:37,140 that you can take advanced courses. 300 00:13:37,140 --> 00:13:38,220 Starting pretty simple. 301 00:13:38,220 --> 00:13:39,680 That's what I want. 302 00:13:39,680 --> 00:13:41,630 I also want you to know enough chemistry 303 00:13:41,630 --> 00:13:44,060 so you can do a UROP in a chemistry lab, 304 00:13:44,060 --> 00:13:46,250 and we'll talk more about the undergraduate research 305 00:13:46,250 --> 00:13:49,370 program throughout the course. 306 00:13:49,370 --> 00:13:52,940 I would like you to employ chemistry principals 307 00:13:52,940 --> 00:13:56,606 in a lab that's not a chemistry lab in your UROP. 308 00:13:56,606 --> 00:13:58,730 I want you to appreciate how chemistry 309 00:13:58,730 --> 00:14:01,400 is used to solve real world problems, 310 00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:04,580 to make informed decisions about your health, about 311 00:14:04,580 --> 00:14:07,610 the environment, and energy and science policy, 312 00:14:07,610 --> 00:14:10,280 and I want you to be able to advance science and engineering 313 00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:12,860 through the application of chemistry principles 314 00:14:12,860 --> 00:14:14,870 because I want you to make the world a better 315 00:14:14,870 --> 00:14:17,120 place for my daughter. 316 00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:21,020 And that's why I want you all to have superior knowledge 317 00:14:21,020 --> 00:14:24,500 because my daughter needs more than adequate knowledge 318 00:14:24,500 --> 00:14:25,910 to have a better world. 319 00:14:25,910 --> 00:14:27,260 She needs superior knowledge. 320 00:14:27,260 --> 00:14:29,030 So that's my goal for all of you. 321 00:14:29,030 --> 00:14:30,580 To teach you these things. 322 00:14:30,580 --> 00:14:32,210 You don't all have to become chemists. 323 00:14:32,210 --> 00:14:36,770 In fact, it's fantastic if you take the knowledge of chemistry 324 00:14:36,770 --> 00:14:38,630 and bring it to other disciplines 325 00:14:38,630 --> 00:14:41,560 because we're going to need all the disciplines coming together 326 00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:44,420 with that solid knowledge to be able to make this world 327 00:14:44,420 --> 00:14:45,500 a better place. 328 00:14:45,500 --> 00:14:49,850 I'll say that there are many 5.111 superstars 329 00:14:49,850 --> 00:14:52,040 in this class in the past who came in, 330 00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:55,610 like Sarah who hated chemistry and became a chem major 331 00:14:55,610 --> 00:14:58,880 and ended up getting a PhD in chemical biology. 332 00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:01,430 All these folks have gone on using chemistry, 333 00:15:01,430 --> 00:15:04,970 not all as chemists-- in biological engineering, 334 00:15:04,970 --> 00:15:10,560 full ride scholarship to medical school, PhD in biology, 335 00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:13,830 running a local pharmaceutical company as an executive, 336 00:15:13,830 --> 00:15:16,800 doing biophysics out at UCSF. 337 00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:19,150 So all of these people learned the chemistry 338 00:15:19,150 --> 00:15:21,720 they needed to go on and do great things, 339 00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:24,540 and you can put your picture in there. 340 00:15:24,540 --> 00:15:28,000 So speaking of people, we have five minutes 341 00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:32,100 where I really need to introduce you to all the teaching team. 342 00:15:32,100 --> 00:15:34,290 We have a huge group of people who 343 00:15:34,290 --> 00:15:36,070 are going to make it possible for you 344 00:15:36,070 --> 00:15:39,570 to obtain that superior knowledge of chemistry 345 00:15:39,570 --> 00:15:42,150 and go on here at MIT to do great things. 346 00:15:42,150 --> 00:15:44,100 So I'm going to ask them all to come down. 347 00:15:44,100 --> 00:15:45,990 And I think we have a hand-held mic. 348 00:15:45,990 --> 00:15:50,460 And everyone can introduce themselves. 349 00:15:50,460 --> 00:15:56,890 And let's bring that down. 350 00:15:56,890 --> 00:15:58,265 Actually, maybe we'll start here. 351 00:16:01,650 --> 00:16:03,160 ELENA GORIN: Hi everybody. 352 00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:04,740 My name is Elena Gorin. 353 00:16:04,740 --> 00:16:07,400 I'm going to be your course coordinator for this semester. 354 00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:10,630 So if you have any issues that you 355 00:16:10,630 --> 00:16:13,630 feel need to be handled by someone 356 00:16:13,630 --> 00:16:17,220 closer to Professor Drennan I'm the one. 357 00:16:17,220 --> 00:16:19,410 I'll also be sending a lot of e-mails to you guys, 358 00:16:19,410 --> 00:16:21,404 so pay attention. 359 00:16:21,404 --> 00:16:23,320 And I'll tell you a little bit about clickers. 360 00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:27,840 You'll get an e-mail from me about clickers very soon. 361 00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:28,870 SAM: Hi, everyone. 362 00:16:28,870 --> 00:16:30,420 My name is Sam. 363 00:16:30,420 --> 00:16:35,250 I am the clicker TA, so I'll be handling clickers and clicker 364 00:16:35,250 --> 00:16:36,710 competitions and stuff like that. 365 00:16:36,710 --> 00:16:38,550 So if you have any clicker questions 366 00:16:38,550 --> 00:16:42,960 you can find me before or after class in the clicker corner 367 00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:45,130 I think is what I'm designating it. 368 00:16:45,130 --> 00:16:47,240 Clicker corner. 369 00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:49,410 So if you forget your clicker or anything 370 00:16:49,410 --> 00:16:51,930 like that-- I encourage you not to forget them, 371 00:16:51,930 --> 00:16:54,690 but if you happen to don't panic. 372 00:16:54,690 --> 00:16:57,192 Just come see me and we'll work things out. 373 00:16:57,192 --> 00:16:58,650 And we're supposed to say something 374 00:16:58,650 --> 00:17:03,300 that I enjoy doing outside of chemistry in graduate school. 375 00:17:03,300 --> 00:17:04,179 So I ski. 376 00:17:04,179 --> 00:17:05,970 So if there are any skiers in the audience, 377 00:17:05,970 --> 00:17:06,848 we should hang out. 378 00:17:11,165 --> 00:17:12,040 ASHLEY: Hi, everyone. 379 00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:13,050 My name is Ashley. 380 00:17:13,050 --> 00:17:16,200 I'll be running recitation number eight, 381 00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:18,240 so I look forward to meeting as many of you 382 00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:20,640 as I'll have the opportunity to meet. 383 00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:23,190 One of the things that I enjoy outside of chemistry 384 00:17:23,190 --> 00:17:24,700 is Latin dance. 385 00:17:24,700 --> 00:17:29,360 I'm not saying I'm any good at it, but I do try to be. 386 00:17:29,360 --> 00:17:32,130 YIVAN Hi, I'm Yivan. 387 00:17:32,130 --> 00:17:33,320 I run the microphone. 388 00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:35,002 Me and Ashley run the microphone, 389 00:17:35,002 --> 00:17:37,920 so we'll run around, give it to you whenever
