The Father of Chemical Warfare

In this episode, Jay tells Mitch about Fritz Haber, the father of chemical warfare, who was instrumental in advanced agricultural science but hated by his father for his lack of business acumen.

This episode includes content about biological and chemical warfare, lethal gasses and their effect on the body, the holocaust, murder, and suicide. If you'd rather not listen to this one, feel free to check out our episode on Frankenstein, its much more lighthearted.

If you want to learn more about Fritz Haber, check out the Wikipedia page. I also want to mention, Mitch finally wrapped up his old high school science-fair project (they wouldn't mail him a diploma until he did). Here's his presentation on how animals without thumbs eat human cereal.
