Why do I need Chemistry if I want to become a nurse, dental hygienist, or mortician?

The world around us is complex, and everything is connected. When a patient enters the emergency room and gets triaged, signs of external and internal injury are assessed. Having labs and vitals for a patient is paramount for a successful outcome. Vital statistics, such as blood pressure (gas law concept), blood glucose (solution chemistry concept), and vitamin K levels (biochemistry concept), are reviewed to assess the possible causes and severity of the injury or illness your patient has. It is in a Chemistry course that all of these powerful concepts come to life.

Why is it essential to partner with researchers when conducting local community-based projects?

Researchers can provide support with concept mapping and asset mapping, and aid in establishing a theoretical framework that can elevate the work when seeking funding for more robust programming. Through a researcher’s lens, the job done in the community garden can be measured quantitatively and qualitatively to articulate the story and amplify the work. By partnering and amplifying the work, there is a greater chance of sustaining it and having a broader impact on your community.

What if I have struggled with chemistry in the past, and I had negative experiences with chemistry?

Your experience is authentic, and it matters immensely. But it is a part of your story and your glory, and it enriches you in many ways. Here is where 5SLLC comes in to support you.
