Chemistry Students Do Magic for Local Kids

On Wednesday, Feb. 24, several biochemistry students performed a magic show using science for local children of Addison County. This event, held in McCardell BiCentennial Hall, is an ongoing tradition of the department, spearheaded by Professor of Chemistry and Biochemistry Roger Sandwick.

The show was inspired by the experiments that had captured Sandwick’s imagination as a child. “We used to have this one guy — we called him Mr. Chemistry — who would come to our class and do all these magic tricks using chemistry,” he said. “It’s the one thing I really remember from that particular third-grade class.”
