I enjoyed both discussions about scientific studies that investigate the effectiveness of acupuncture in relieving depression and the placebo/nocebo effects. Acupuncture shows signs of being accepted into the Western medicine protocols and studies are backing up effectiveness. Western medicine does rely on "scientific studies" to validate efficacy! Although, TCM does have thousands of years of practice in achieving reproducible results for relieving pain, improving fertility, and so many ailments. It's just going to take the Western world a bit longer to catch up and embrace TCM.
I like the definition "Biochemistry is the study of the chemistry of living organisms". It recognizes that chemistry is involved as a part of all living systems and does not seem to establish the human species as the dominant focus. I feel that it also implies an interconnection between all living organisms.
The University of Akron link did not work and I could not find any animations related to biochemistry on their website.
