NMCC Workshops for the year 2003

The following workshops are being offered by the National Microscale Chemistry Center, located at Merrimack College in North Andover, Massachusetts. The workshops include all free materials (including a textbook), free housing and all meals during the workshop period. There is a small registration fee, as indicated below.

These award-winning workshops offer hands-on training for science teachers and faculty in microscale laboratory practices, and have received excellent reviews from participants. Early registration is advisable, as the workshops are often filled well in advance and a cut in our external source of funding has limited the number of workshops being offered. Because of lack of funding, NMCC will not offer any more workshops in the future.

FOR ELEMENTARY TEACHERS

No Science background is assumed. Dates: May 1-2, 2003. The workshop runs from 8:30 AM on Thursday until 2:00 PM Friday. The registration fee is $100.00

FOR HIGH SCHOOL TEACHERS (Including A/P Chemistry)

Dates: April 25-27, 2003. The workshop runs from 5:45 PM on Friday until 2:00 PM Sunday. The registration fee is $150.00. This date may change by one week

FOR HIGH SCHOOL/COMMUNITY COLLEGE/COLLEGE/UNIVERITY FACULTY & TEACHERS

June 23-25, 2003 - Organic Chemistry
June 30 -July 2, 2003 - GeneralChemistry/Advanced General
The workshops run 8:30 AM Monday until 2:00 PM Wednesday. The registration fee is $200. Free housing is available for the Sunday preceding the workshop.

Microscale in the Comics

Microscale chemistry was chosen as a lead story base for one of the Archie Comic publications. Here are a few interesting images that were published featuring Merrimack College, the National Microscale Chemistry Center and its three directors.

"No signs of any chemical explosions here! Ha! Ha! Ha! Maybe it does work!"

"Professor Pike, this is Principal Weatherbee and Mr. Flutesnoot!" "We're here to see your Microscale set-up." "My colleagues, Professors Szafran and Singh have also helped in its development!"

"The equipment cuts down on the amount of chemicals needed for an experiment by a factor of 200 to 2,000!" "Incredible!"

"It's our friend Mr. Weatherbee! He wants to know if we can design a tiny microscale oven for one of his students!"

This last picture from the comic also appeared in many of the newspapers around the region. Professors (L-R) Ronald M. Pike, Zvi Szafran and Mono M. Singh
