Did you know that today is #NationalBunsenBurnerDay? The Bunsen Burner we all loved in science class remains a fundamental component of scientific education. STEM education plays a crucial role in shaping the future of our workforce and economy. In life sciences, STEM expertise leads to groundbreaking products and techniques that enhance lives and safeguard our environment. We eagerly anticipate the bright future ahead for all of our budding scientists! History: Born in Germany in 1811, Robert Bunsen demonstrated his innovative spirit from a young age. His remarkable achievements, including discovering an antidote to arsenic poisoning, set the stage for his most enduring invention – the Bunsen burner. Embarking on this endeavor in 1852 at the University of Heidelberg, Bunsen revolutionized laboratory burners by designing a versatile gas-burning apparatus that produced flames of varying colors and intensities based on airflow. Despite its simplicity, his design gained worldwide acclaim and remains a cornerstone of scientific experimentation, underscoring the universal significance of National Bunsen Burner Day. #GilbaneBuildsLifeScienceFacilities #STEM #BuildingTheFuture
