He put a small chunk of the metal into a bucket of water, intending to let us see it ignite in a controlled condition. It did ignite, but it then shot out of the bucket and burned a hole in one of my friend&#8217;s backpacks. After the fire department left, I was hooked. There is a thrill in being able to design and synthesize structures that have never existed before. Organic chemistry is the ultimate Lego set for adults. What fascinates me even more is how a molecule made by a marine sponge for example, or another natural product, can have activity to kill cancer cells or a virus. Nature is beautiful, and the medicinal chemist can harness that beauty, add in some flair and create small molecules that can be used to treat or better understand human disease. You have to admit that&#8217;s pretty cool!<\/p>\n<p><b>Degrees:<\/b> <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Master&#8217;s, chemistry, University of Hull, United Kingdom\n<li>Ph.D., University of Oxford, United
