Graham Young: The Tea Boy

Published: Sept. 29, 2019, 6:57 p.m.

b"Graham Young was an unusual boy. Infinitely fascinated with chemistry, he devoted large amounts of his early life pouring over thick medical textbooks, educating himself on the properties of various chemical compounds. What stood Graham out from his peers more than his intellect was that his obsession with chemistry revolved almost solely around the usage of various poisons. Curiosity has always been inherently dangerous and this is infinitely more true in the case of Graham Young, when theory turned to practice.\\n\\nSOURCES:\\n\\n\\n\\nHolden, A. (1974).
