SUMMARY:UC Santa Cruz Annual Bunnett Symposium
DESCRIPTION:This annual event was established in 2001 to honor and celebrate the late Prof. Joseph Bunnett’s seminal contributions: Prof. Bunnett was a pioneer in his sub-discipline of physical organic chemistry and a founding member of our department. The Bunnett Symposium has evolved into an opportunity to connect past and present friends of the Department for discussion\, accompanied by exposure to seminal ideas in chemistry through the distinguished lecture\, and an Awards Ceremony where we honor the academic and research achievements of our current crop of outstanding undergraduates. \nMeet us there! More information to come.

SUMMARY:New York Green Chemistry PLT
DESCRIPTION:From ocean plastic to forest fires\, our world needs invention\, innovation\, and creativity to find solutions to our biggest problems. Green chemistry\, also known as the science of solutions\, offers a framework for decreasing hazards within classrooms while promoting sustainability for both human health and the environment. Whether you are new to thinking about sustainability in the classroom or have already implemented green chemistry lesson plans\, we want you to join us. Together\, we will create a community of Green Chemistry educators within the state of NY. \nDuring our time together\, NY teachers will share and collaborate in the creation of NYSSLS Aligned Green Chemistry Labs\, videos of implementing labs\, and lesson plans spotlighting NY Industries practicing green chemistry. We may feature guest speakers who are leaders in sustainable science. Most importantly\, together we will share lessons and labs as we work together to add sustainability into our sciences. Please complete the enclosed short form to join the PLT team. This is a continuation of last year’s PLT\, but new members are welcome! If you have any questions\, please contact Jim Burdick at jburdick@ccsdk12.org. \nThis PLT is for teachers in grades 6 -12.\nOpen to ALL Master Teachers across the state + Invite a friend (non MTs) / OPEN \nREGISTER HERE
