The students will watch one interview on their own time. I have a link to the Voices video series on the webpage for the course. As an alternative to the 12 interviews in the Voices video series, I provide a short list of other inorganic chemists, including inorganic chemists from diverse backgrounds as additional options. I provide links to the homepages of the inorganic chemists on the webpage for the course as well.
