About Me — Golfam
Chemist, Curious, And Here To Explore The World With You
Have you ever stood in the grocery aisle or the pharmacy, bewildered by a bunch of ingredients listed on the label? Have you ever found yourself trying to remember what that one TikToker said the other day while they were telling you that a certain chemical is poisoning your food?
Hey! I’m Golfam, your myth-busting chemist BFF. I started loving chemistry as a child because I simply wanted to know what everything is made of. After doing a bachelor’s, I went on to pursue my master’s in organic chemistry, and creating some cute shiny molecules (well, they are not just shiny they are useful). In this chapter of my life, I feel not only do I need to continue learning, but it’s time to give back.
In our modern world, we are constantly bombarded with information about chemicals, often leaving us confused, and let’s face it, most of us didn’t even like chemistry in school because who wants to memorize a bunch of names and shapes? I’m here to tell you that chemistry is more than shapes and names and I promise I will not be a chemistry teacher about it.
The Power of Informed Curiosity:
As human beings, the biggest flex is our built-in nosiness, a.k.a. curiosity. That’s the real superpower. Here’s what I want to offer you: a space free from sensationalized headlines and baseless claims. I believe in the power of informed curiosity. I want to encourage you to ask questions, to wonder what is going on in the water that you drink, the beer that you brew, and the iron that parties in your body.
What You Can Expect From Me:
Through my writing, I’ll break down complex chemical concepts into easily digestible information. We’ll delve into the science behind everyday products, debunk common myths, and explore the fascinating stories behind the molecules that make up our world.
Ask Me Anything!
Most importantly, I want this to be an interactive journey. Have you ever come across a strange chemical name on a label that left you scratching your head? Have you ever asked yourself how something benefits your body but didn’t ask it not to sound silly? Don’t hesitate to ask! Leave a comment, send me a message — no question about chemistry is too basic.
Together, let’s demystify the world around us, one molecule at a time.
