This kit dates to 1847, and it's less a toy than a kit for serious students and amateurs. Its creator, John Joseph Griffin, wrote a 556-page manual to go with it.

University Photography Chemistry students work under the instruction of Hector Abrua and Frank DiSalvo. From such courses as Pesticides, Insecticides and the Environment to Philosophy of Science, Cornells newest chemistry majors have a wide range of electives they can now choose from to fill out the 60-credit major. After talking with students and noticing changes in the diversity of careers that chemistry alumni pursue, chemistry faculty in the College of Arts and Sciences decided to change the curriculum to offer more options for their students, two-thirds of whom pursue careers that dont require a graduate degree in chemistry. This is a reflection of a changing world and the increasingly interdisciplinary nature of our work, said Professor Dave Collum, chair of the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology. We took a brush hog to the major, cutting out some chemistry underbrush and replanting it with some fresh growth from throughout the university. During the process, a group of faculty, including associate chair Brian Crane and director of undergraduate studies Roger Loring, pored through course offerings from other departments to develop the list of approved electives that appears on the chemistry website. We wanted to offer more flexibility in the chemistry major, … Continue reading →

The front of the invitation was dominated by a golden seal, complete with an eagle against a black background, with the letters CIA stamped across it. In this case, CIA stood for Chemistry is Awesome, and the black business-card-sized document was an invitation to a party planned for 500 guests Wednesday at Oregon State University and hosted by its chemistry department. And if chemistry indeed is the science of change, OSUs chemistry department wanted their party to change a few perceptions about the discipline, said Rich Carter, the departments chairman. I want people to know that chemists come from all different walks of life; that anyone can be a chemist, and that chemistry is fun, Carter said. The event included demonstrations of chemistry, such as heavier-than-air bubbles filled with carbon dioxide, and fingerprints made visible on an object using iodine fuming. The self-described cowboy poetry surf rock group Svens whose members all are chemists entertained the crowd. Additional highlights included a fiery thermite reaction demonstration and a dunk tank featuring chemistry professors as the targets. Its great to show students our human side, said Carter, who was the first to be dunked. Regina Forsi, an OSU freshman who has taken … Continue reading →
