- How would you describe the way Julian went about synthesizing physostigmine?
- Explain Julian's reasoning when he suspected the compound his rival had isolated was very likely not physostigmine.
- What are some significant ways in which Julian's and Folkman's discoveries were similar? How were they different?
- Can you list the processes that were followed in the videos? Were the processes followed in the same order in both videos?
- Do you think that there might be more than one path that could lead to a successful investigation?
