Education
General chemistry labs have changed
significantly as a result of the COVID19 pandemic. What have we have learned
from this? And what do we think will be the outlook for general chemistry
post-COVID 19? Join us for a discussion on what we have learned so far.

Teaching, The Best Kept Secret!
Terri Michelle Chambers, Ed.D.,
American Chemical Society, Director, ACS Learning and Career Development,
Education Division
Jennifer Nielson, Ph.D., Brigham
Young University, Associate Dean of the College of Physical and Mathematical
Sciences and Professor of Chemistry
ACS, in partnership with Get the
Facts Out, is pleased to offer the presentation "Teaching, The Best Kept
Secret!". Did you know that teachers in the United States rate their lives
better than all occupation groups, trailing only physicians?* In this
presentation we will dig into some data many students and faculty find
surprising about the teaching profession. We will also share strategies and
resources for communicating the facts about the profession so that students
will have accurate information about their career prospects. We hope you will
be able to join us for this informative presentation. Can't make it? Feel free
to share this information with a colleague (or two) at your institution.

How to Convince Others (that safety is important and that you
are serious about it)
James Kaufman, PhD, Founder and
President Emeritus of the Laboratory Safety Institute
Throughout the world, this is the
most frequently asked question. The answer is simple and, for the most part,
inexpensive. The short answer is to create a more effective lab safety program.
This interesting and entertaining one-hour presentation provides an overview of
some of the 33 critical program elements. It confronts one of the more common
excuses for not having or improving the lab safety program... "it costs
too much." This is simply not true. Excellent lab safety programs do not
need to cost large amounts of money. Participants will learn how to convince
others by creating a more effective lab safety program (without a purchase
order or requisition). You don’t want to miss this opportunity for a highly
informative, worthwhile and enjoyable learning experience. This presentation is
a unique opportunity to take a look at your lab safety program to see how
you’re doing and how you can do it even better. Participants will receive the
Laboratory Safety Institute’s (LSI) lab safety program review checklist with 33
components. And you will learn how to use this checklist to evaluate your
program both qualitatively and quantitatively. The result is a simple, clear,
low/no cost path for lab safety program development and improvement. And, with
courage, you can score your program on a scale of zero to 100!
