SUMMARY:Toxicology for Chemists: Integrating Toxicology Principles into Higher Education Chemistry Courses
DESCRIPTION:Register for this event here! \n“A current key sustainability challenge is that scientists are not trained how to address hazards when designing chemical products. Specifically\, chemists lack training in toxicology: what makes a molecule hazardous to human health and the environment?” \nTo discuss these and other questions\, join our Higher Education Program Manager Dr. Nimrat Obhi on February 18th @ 2:00 PM (ET) during her presentation at the Two Year College Chemistry Consortium (2YC3)\, where Nim will provide an overview of our Toxicology for Chemists curriculum. This has curriculum has been developed by a group of key experts and contains lectures\, supplementary material\, and additional resources to allow educators and current and future scientists to understand and practice chemistry that is safe and responsible for society. In this talk\, Nim will show us how the course modules can be used\, and the support that Beyond Benign can provide to educators who want to implement elements into their courses.

SUMMARY:Bust out that Chemistry kit for National Chemistry Week 2021 - Fast or Slow...Chemistry Makes It Go!
DESCRIPTION:Bust out your Explore Science: Let’s Do Chemistry kit! Everyone’s favorite chemistry-related holiday\, National Chemistry Week (NCW)\, is October 17-23\, 2021. Join the National Institute for STEM Education (NISE) Network as we welcome members of the American Chemical Society (ACS) for a brief overview of the annual celebration and this year’s theme\, Fast or Slow…Chemistry Makes It Go! ACS will share resources for engaging your audiences in this celebration as well as discuss how you can partner with experts in your area. We will also be joined by NISE Network partners\, Museum of Science Boston\, Fort Worth Museum of Science History and Beyond Benign who will talk about their experiences partnering and plans for engaging audiences in NCW celebrations this year. Come for ideas and insights to start planning your own celebration! \nRegister Here: https://www.nisenet.org/events/online-workshop/online-workshop-NCW2021

SUMMARY:Choose and Reuse Compostable Plastics
DESCRIPTION:As part of Virtual Kids Zone Activities with CCEW and Earth Day 2021\, Greg Tucker will feature sustainable invention and green chemistry based activities. \nFishing bait bags are useful in solving the problem of getting fishing bait to the river bottom where carp and other bottom-dwelling fish live\, but typical nylon bait bags are harmful to the environment. Explore the different properties and uses of plastics with a biodegradable\, dissolvable alternative to nylon bags and see how chemistry can solve this environmental problem. \nBONUS: Two lucky winners will receive $25 ACS Bucks for use in the ACS Spring Store (opens Thursday\, April 1 at www.acs.org/acsspringstore)! Winners must be registered for the ACS Kids Zone event and present during the event to win. These ACS Bucks expire Friday\, April 30. \nShop the ACS Spring Store (www.acs.org/acsspringstore) for cool kids swag! \nRegister here and check out all the activities to reduce your footprint with chemistry on Earth Day and beyond!
