Episode 20: The Organic Chemistry Laboratory
One of the great revolutions in the teaching of laboratory chemistry at Técnico began in 1953 with the renovation of the Organic Chemistry Laboratory. Led by Pierre Laurent and continued by Bernardo Herold from 1962 onwards, the laboratory has become so relevant that it is impossible to imagine how laboratory teaching was done before. It has 70 years of history(s) and, in Herold’s opinion, is still “perfect to serve another 50 years”. The Organic Chemistry Laboratory featured in the 20th episode of the “110 Stories | 110 Objects” podcast.
