It’s a big word, and all I know is that from childhood, I was happy and totally interested in subjects like English, social studies, and languages, with a little bit of biology. Trust me, I’m not saying this because of the reproduction chapter, although Latin names irritated me. But, you know what? I ended up choosing MPC; this is a joke—please feel free to laugh. Nothing changed, even now at 23—okay, now I’m officially 24. Do you know how I spent most of my time? While washing dishes, while doing any chores, my mind brings up a topic and keeps thinking about what lines to add to make this topic better so it can be presented effectively. My sister introduced me to one of her friends, s...

After finishing his baccalaureate degree, he entered the Institute of Applied Chemistry in 1900. He once again succeeded brilliantly and finished first in his class. Following his graduation in 1904, he took a position as a laboratory assistant at the Sorbonne. He was mapping out a career as a university researcher. One day, the owner of a large barber shop visited Schueller's lab. The man was seeking help on developing a synthetic hair dye.

Seeing a good business opportunity, Schueller agreed to become the barber's technical advisor. Schueller was an ambitious young man, but he hated the idea of working under someone else's orders. So, he soon cut ties with the barber and struck out on his own. He began exper...
