Everything Is Natural: Exploring How Chemicals Are Natural, How Nature Is Chemical and Why That Should Excite Us

James Kennedy is a British chemistry teacher and passionate chemistry spokesperson. He founded the chemistry outreach initiative 'Sincerely, Chemicals' in 2017. Since graduating from the University of Cambridge with a Master's degree in Natural Sciences in 2010, James Kennedy has pursued a passion for science communication and science outreach by using festivals, lectures, seminars, conferences, posters and T-shirts to make chemistry more open and accessible for the public. He is a vocal pro-chemistry advocate who writes pro-chemistry articles and speaks in radio and podcast interviews. His first published book, 'Everything is Natural', stems from a passion to communicate the overwhelmingly positive contribution that science - particularly materials science and chemistry - has made to our modern standard of living. Currently, teaching chemistry to Monash University's Foundation Year students in Melbourne, Australia, he has been teaching for 9 years and researching the fear of chemicals for 4 years. He lives with his wife and daughter in Melbourne, Australia.
