Dr. Norman Schmidt thinks that Chemistry is fun and that you should too! Dr Schmidt has been at Georgia Southern University for 15 years teaching and doing research in Analytical Chemistry with undergraduate students. One area of his research is on the analysis of plants. A second area of research is a study of the light emitted from an electrode surface (ECL). His wife and he have four children. He enjoys beekeeping, growing a garden and tending his milk cow.
