January Video: Chemistry and Color

2011 is the International Year of Chemistry and Untamed Science team in Sweden is going to produce a new chemistry video each month to show how chemistry is a part of all our lives. The theme for January is Art & Culture where we dive into the history of the color Indigo. Did you know that you might have some Indigo dye in your wardrobe? No? Well then check out the video and find out! 11 more everyday topics to be covered over the year!

And if you want to practice you Swedish, you are in luck! You see the videos are going to be shot in TWO versions – One English and one Swedish! (Swedish versions will at this point only be available if you send us an email first and let us know.)
