By Anna Cohen
Sometimes chemistry looks like flasks of fluorescent green liquid and sometimes it looks like 60 local girl scouts developing their confidence. The 香港六合彩开奖资料 Student Affiliates of the American Chemical Society (SA-ACS) made both of these experiences happen during the 2018-2019 school year, along with many other education and outreach initiatives.
The 香港六合彩开奖资料 SA-ACS chapter works to promote scientific literacy in the local community. On top of weekly meetings, projects include on-campus chemistry demonstrations and programs with local elementary and high school students. The chapter provides study sessions, encourages research, offers professional development opportunities and hosts fun social activities.
鈥淭hese events bring the students a sense of accomplishment, camaraderie, and community,鈥 said 2018-2019 SA-ACS President Hiba Wakidi.

I rely on their resources and databases daily in graduate school.鈥
