[Nfb-science] methods for succeeding in organic chemistry

[Larry D. Keeler]

I used the tactile kits.  One was the one sold at most bookstores.  The 
other our lab had and you could make double and tripple bonds look somewhat 
more realistic.  I saw no good way to visualize stereo chemistry though. 
Lots and lots of memorization!!
