Between favorite elements and dangerous chemicals: Hot Seat with chemists
“Chemistry is when it explodes and stinks,” as the saying goes. But is this actually true? In the new episode of our video series “Hot Seat”, you'll meet the people who really do have the answers: TU Dresden's chemists. In the video, they talk about their research, accidents in the lab and reveal what their favorite elements are.

Additionally, they talk about how much time they spend in the lab and whether they were the only ones at school who really liked chemistry. We will also answer the question that seems most important to some people: Can all chemists cook drugs?
The “Hot Seat” video series gives us the chance to talk to our staff, students and alumni and answer some of the most interesting or most asked questions submitted by our Instagram community. This format is also part of our YouTube channel “Discover TU Dresden”, home to a regular stream of new videos about TU Dresden.
