Did you know, currently about 11 percent of all medicines considered “essential” by the World Health Organization (WHO) are derived from flowering plants?</p> <p>Explore the resources on our pages to learn more about chemistry’s healing power and strengthen local communities as we celebrate National Chemistry Week together.</p> </div> </div></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div
