If you're looking for some additional learning, there are quite a few interesting chemical engineering documentaries I've watched on Netflix. Take a look and tell me your thoughts and include any others in this thread you might come across!

-Attacking the Devil - its about Thalidomide processing (the dangers of racemic mixtures)

-The Devil We Know - its about Teflon processing

-Dirty Money S2E6 - plastics processing plant pollution into the local environment

This is more BME related but "The Bleeding Edge" is very good as well!

Also BME related and on Hulu, "The Inventor: Out for Blood in Silicon Valley" is about Elizabeth Holmes at Theranos and that data falsification catastrophe

She was actually a ChE Stanford dropout as well, there's a podcast over the same information called "The Dropout"

"The Devil We Know" is a fantastic documentary. It really opened my eyes to the sheer amount of shady business going on behind closed doors. Would HIGHLY recommend.
