Welcome to Jennifer Wolf’s Chemistry site.  This website is primarily for resources for my current students, but anyone with interest in the subject is welcome to browse.

Below I post various videos, images, and links to current chemistry applications in our lives, including food chemistry, technology, and materials. Enjoy.
