Lights. Camera. Reaction!

How do real world discoveries affect what we see on screen? What impact does the world of film have on how we view chemistry? Are chemists the villains or the heroes?

From the earliest silent films through to modern, multi-episode television, discover the real-life chemistry that inspired your favourite shows.

Learn how depictions of chemists have changed through the years. Are chemists always pictured as relentless in their quest, are the dangers and risks accurately represented and did the image of chemistry teachers change after the portrayal of a teacher turned illicit drug supplier?
