Glow Sticks - A new year's saving grace
b'
Our 2020 new year\\u2019s celebration had to look quite different this year. The Belgian government had to restrict contact, so no extended family, and no fireworks this year. All for very good, Corona-related reasons. This meant for us that we had to find an alternative, so that we could still give our 3-year old daughter a little spectacle. With glow sticks and chemiluminescence in our back packs, we then went on to celebrate a very special and very different new year. This podcast we shall use to understand chemiluminescence, the phenomenon that allowed for us to have a nice evening \\U0001f60a
