Chemistry Ambassadors. Become a compelling spokesperson for your profession, whether you have a lot of time, or a little. Present ACS’s many and excellent resources to the audiences they are intended to serve. Connect with the people who live in your community. By becoming a Chemistry Ambassador, you can help educate people about the importance of chemists and chemistry, while taking part in community activities that are engaging and fulfilling for you. The suggestions and tools in this program are largely designed for individuals on their own schedules, but there are resources for local section programming, as well. Who better to represent chemistry in the community than our 161,000 members? Sign up now to receive additional information and resources. Speak Simply about Chemistry As a chemist, you understand that chemistry is all around us.
Eureka! Lab. Robijanto Soetedjo can’t stop playing with electricity. At work, this neuroscientist at the University of Washington in Seattle studies the electrical properties of cells in our brains. At home, he has used his knowledge of electrophysiology to develop a new toy. This “Bioelectricity Toy Set,” allows kids to discover the electricity in their own bodies. Soetedjo nabbed second place and $25,000 in the first annual Science, Play and Research Kit — or SPARK — contest. Sponsored by the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation and Society for Science & the Public (this blog’s parent organization), the contest searched for next-generation “chemistry sets.” The goal: new types of toy to let kids develop their own experiments. But the contest’s organizers understand scientific inspiration comes from more than chemistry.
“I wanted to get the children to know how cool neuroscience is,” Soetedjo says. Attach an electrode to your arm. Power Words electric current The flow of electricity along a given path. USA Science & Engineering Festival. BioEd Online Biology Teacher Resources, Lesson Plans.
