Auschwitz Report | Primo Levi, Leonardo De Benedetti
post image
Pickpick

Primo Levi, an #Italian #Jewish #chemist and a #Holocaust #survivor wrote about the living conditions in Auschwitz in this #Auschwitz #Report. The prisoners had to endure deplorable living conditions (meager food, diseases, lack of medical treatment, etc). Since this is a report, it offered an interesting perspective on the events which took place in Auschwitz. #bibliophage #booknerd #WWII #nonfiction #history #readforlife #read150

At one point, Cronin is describing making biodiesel out of corn in Iowa... I'm over here wondering how they removed the waxes in the corn oil to be able to use the bio in the middle of the winter... FYI, corn makes terrible biodiesel! 🌈 the more you know! #chemist #science

readinginthedark I saw this episode of NCIS where an engineer figured out a way to make fuel using bacteria...it was untested (may or may not work) and I had no idea what was going on, but it was fascinating! 7y
PlannerGirlBookClub @readinginthedark oh yeah, there's some interesting research going on with bacteria and modifying genes to make them produce chemicals of interest - v. cool stuff! 7y
