1. What makes a chemist different
A chemist has a seamless - essentially subliminal awareness that almost everything around us – not just the chemistry that we do in test tubes - is a manifestation of intrinsic properties, behaviours and actions that occur at nanoscale dimensions eg processes involving atoms and molecules etc..

2. Chemists are different because they continually:
“see” the structural elegance of photochemical receptors and the associated processes in the leaves of trees

3. Chemists are different because they continually:
“see” the structural elegance of photochemical receptors and the associated processes in the leaves of trees
Wonder at the biosphere sustainability

4. Chemists are different because they continually:
“see” the structural elegance of photochemical receptors and the associated processes in the leaves of trees
Wonder at the biosphere sustainability
“See” the nanoscale optical effects which result in the iridescent colours of a butterfly wing

5. Chemists are different because they continually:
“see” the structural elegance of photochemical receptors and the associated processes in the leaves of trees
Wonder at the biosphere sustainability
“See” the nanoscale optical effects which result in the iridescent colours of a butterfly wing
Wonder how to split water into H2 and O2 using visible light while sitting in the traffic jam into downtown Washington

Wonder at the biosphere sustainability
“See” the nanoscale optical effects which result in the iridescent colours of a butterfly wing
Wonder how to split water into H2 and O2 using visible light while sitting in the traffic jam into downtown Washington
Recognise that the reason that the people of an overpopulated city are not dying of cholera is the chemical treatment of sewage

Think of intermolecular interactions that occur when water freezes

Are amazed at the action of haemoglobin as they breathe

10. Key Issue
The key issue is how to develop this awareness of this essentially abstract world - based on almost ”un-understandable” quantum behaviour
