Youtube Channels for Chemists

I would say that I visit many websites that help me better understand the content of my major. Although my major is Chemistry, we not only learn chemistry, we also learn many mathematical and physical concepts that are essential to understand chemical phenomena. For this reason, during the major I have visited various websites related to chemistry. In general, I visit YouTube channels since I learn better when someone teaches me that only to read the books of the subjects, for example, to pass my General Chemistry courses I saw many of the videos of Unicoos, which is a YouTube channel with a series of math, physics and chemistry playlists. I also saw several videos of Cesar Antonio Izquierdo Merlo, who teaches physics with a green chalkboard and chalk, just as it was done in the past. Although his videos are long, he teaches very well and does many exercises in each subject. I think I watched your entire Electric Charge and Electric Field playlist (86 videos) to pass Electromagnetism...

How can my major make the world a better place

In my opinion chemistry is essential in the life. From the air that we breathe to our own bodies are composed of chemical structures and processes, so understanding chemistry is important to progress as a society. Although the Chemistry major today is not as popular as medicine or engineering, it was very important in the past and is currently an interdisciplinary major that allows to control, develop or improve industrial processes, you can even create new materials or products chemicals for different applications. Personally, I would like to work in the industrial area once I finish my major. I would like to be able to control and even optimize certain industrial processes so that they generate less pollution, but at the same time be profitable for the industry or company in which I work. I believe that this is the biggest problem that have industries, since although they generate good for society, they also have many negative aspects such as pollution, bad smells or annoying noise...
