How Chemistry Got Its Groove Back with Dr. Colleen Kelley and Kids’ Chemical Solutions Ed Gap Evolution

Across America, 40% of college students fail Organic Chemistry on their first attempt. A huge majority never pass it at all. For students who have always dreamed of becoming a doctor, this is a big deal because if you don’t pass organic chemistry, you don’t get into medical school … and right now, students of color make up the majority of hopefuls who are forced to suppress their dream of becoming a doctor. Instead, they must settle for a different career path because of so many alarming reasons that Dr. Colleen Kelley helps us explore in this episode. 
 
In this episode, Dr. Kelley reveals reasons students have historically hated Chemistry, and how her new comic series Kids Chemical Solutions is transforming their sentiments for the better and helping children understand (and enjoy) college level chemistry before they finish elementary school.
