A Periodic Drama
Join Marcus on a tour of the periodic table – highlighting some of the crucial elements you might not have heard of.

Computational Chemistry
Marcus’ Ph.D. in chemistry involved absolutely no real chemicals! His research used computers to work out and predict what molecules might do – and torture them until we understand how they work!
