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

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

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

One experiment involved discerning whether balloons held hydrogen or helium.

A Blast!” presentations in our hometown of Indianapolis as

well as outside of Indiana.

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

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

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.

Our scientists illuminated science for a captivated group of

fourth and fifth-graders even when they were

in the dark!
