Lilly scientists present what we do in fun and exciting ways through our "Chemistry Is a Blast!" program. This week, three of them traveled to a local elementary school to show off some colorful experiments and chemical reactions!

2. Lilly scientists Tim Woolsey, Mindy Forst
and Brad Held led the presentation.

3. The trio conducted 12 “Chemistry Is A
Blast!” experiments during their program.

4. Lilly scientist Mindy Forst in action.

5. Along the way, the Lilly scientists asked for
volunteers to help and answered questions.

6. One experiment involved
discerning whether balloons
held hydrogen or helium.

7. Forst (pictured), Held
and Woolsey lead
“Chemistry Is A
Blast!” presentations
in our hometown of
Indianapolis as well
as outside of Indiana.

8. These three scientists have traveled for nearly 11
years to share science with students and other groups.

9. Forst and her fellow
scientists carried dry
ice through the
audience so students
could not just witness,
but feel its effects.

10. Lilly’s “Chemistry Is A Blast!” program has been running
for more than 20 years. These are three of the 150
scientists in the company who can put on the shows.

11. Our scientists illuminated
science for a captivated
group of fourth and fifth-
graders even when they
were in the dark!
