Chemistry Enthusiasts and History of Chemistry Joint Session
Are you a chemistry enthusiast - you may not work in chemistry but you have an interest in the field? Perhaps you were educated in chemistry, but your career path took you in other directions? Or perhaps you developed an interest in science later in life? Are you a retired chemist, or a chemistry educator looking for material to enliven your lessons? If you are curious to learn more about some of today's hot chemistry issues, to hear about the ways that chemistry is impacting our day-to-day lives, to learn about the people behind the science, and to hear some entertaining and informative chemistry talks, then the NERM2008 chemistry enthusiasts program is for you! This joint session with the History of Chemistry Symposium kicks off 4 days of activities for Chemistry Enthusiasts at NERM2008
