This author has experience both as a chemist and as a teacher of high school chemistry and physics. He is currently employed within the pharmaceutical industry, and holds a Master's degree, unsurprisingly, in chemistry.

Beyond the professional realm, Ernest writes (as yet unpublished) science fiction, runs, bicycles, gardens, kayaks, and finds a variety of other ways to employ body and mind.

Most recently, Ernest has been appointed the Chemistry Channel Steward, a role he is honored to possess, and excited to fill. He will be happy to be a resource to other chemistry authors, and hopes to help build the chemistry channel into a great repository of scientific knowledge, with an underlying sense of warmth and humor that makes it accessible to all, without putting them to sleep. Look for an upcoming Chemistry Zone - just as soon as he figures out how to cobble one together.

Feel free to contact this author/steward with any questions, concerns or comments regarding either his writing or the chemistry channel. Feedback is appreciated, and he will endeavor to answer questions in a timely manner.

The people who maintained this knowledge had to have exceptional memory skills, and they could recite the information to the rest of the people as needed. The population en masse would only retain those facts that were meaningful to them. Eventually the arts of reading and writing came along. These skills remained the domain of but a few people, with the populace at large left out, but the number of people with access to the knowledge grew, and because people no ...
