Human Chemistry 101

Human Chemistry 101 logoIn human thermodynamics education, Human Chemistry 101, a YouTube channel, is a semi-weekly educational video series on the subject of human chemistry, the science of the chemistry of human interactions. [1] The channel was conceived in December of 2007 by American chemical engineer Libb Thims as a tool to facilitate the reading and understanding of the two-volume, 834-page textbook Human Chemistry, published in September of that year, which, according to feedback, is a difficult read for many. [2] The first video, titled "human chemistry (introduction)", was posted on May 28, 2008.

Retractions
To note, the following videos were retracted (deleted) because they received vote scores of two or less, commutative. Possibly these topics will be redone in the future getting more to the point in shorter and more entertaining or educational way.

What is Sex (Part 1) [6:33], Thursday, Aug 21, 2008 (article: sex)
What is Sex (Part 2) [6:34], Thursday, Aug 21, 2008 (maybe a redo as "Chemistry and Sex")
