It’s National Bunsen Burner Day!

Rebecca Philio , ,

We’d like to give a shout out to the Sackler School for National Bunsen Burner Day.  Today we commemorate the birth of the German chemist Robert Wilhelm Eberhard Bunsen, born in 1811.

A Bunsen burner is a long, hollow tube and when combining gas and air, a hot flame is produced.
