In this video produced by the American Chemical Society, two actors from The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Alfonso Ribeiro and Tatyana Ali, prepare to attend a new semester at University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). They use an on-campus chemistry lab to conduct a few experiments and discuss the value of chemistry. A voice over and interviews with scientists provide examples of chemistry in the news across many disciplines including marine biology, medicine, manufacturing, and forensic anthropology.
