Behind the Scenes at MIT
“Behind the Scenes at MIT” is a collection of short videos that feature MIT researchers explaining how a textbook chemistry topic is essential to their research and to an inspiring real-world application. There are currently twelve science videos, which can be searched by chemistry topic (i.e. acids and bases) or by research application (i.e. fighting cancer). For each science video, there is an accompanying personal video that describes that scientist’s journey to the bench. The video series was developed by Professor Cathy Drennan's Education Lab.

2014 Nobel Prize in Chemistry
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1tP9bnZDUxc
Nobel Committee announcing 2014 Nobel Prize in Chemistry to 2 Americans and 1 German scientist.
http://www.npr.org/blogs/thetwo-way/2014/10/08/354514604/scientists-share-chemistry-nobel-for-breakthrough-in-microscopy
Stefan Hell explains the technique of super-resolved fluorescence microscopy with images of neurons and cells at the atomic level. Wow!

Natural Logarithm Explained
This site provides an explanation of natural logarithm as a way of describing the time needed for a certain level of growth. This is a good way to better understand the concepts behind the calculations involving half life -- try to think intuitively, rather than just plugging into formulas.
