FITCHBURG -- Fitchburg State University will host the 75th summer conference of the New England Association of Chemistry Teachers from Monday through Aug. 14. The conference will open with a reception at 4:30 p.m. Monday in the Gregg P. Lisciotti Pavilion in the university's Science Center, 333 North St. All chemistry alumni, faculty at local colleges and universities and chemistry teachers in middle and high schools are also invited to the reception, even if they are not attending the conference. The New England Association of Chemistry Teachers was founded in 1898 by a group of high-school and college teachers meeting at Malden High School and was incorporated in Massachusetts in 1910. Today its membership also includes middle-school teachers, administrators and industrial associates interested in chemical education. The aim of NEACT is to promote the teaching and learning of chemistry. The conference will consist of presentations and workshops related to the theme of the conference: "next generation chemistry." Plenary sessions include presentations on new Next Generation Science Standards, their approach to chemistry teaching in New England states, the influence of those standards on educator preparation, and alternate laboratory assessments, among others. This is the second time Fitchburg State is hosting the … Continue reading →

After serious accidents, a U.S. National Research Council Report urges accountability all the way up to college presidents Safety goggles in lab. Credit:AlbertHerring via Wikimedia Commons Amajor new report on safety in academic chemical researchis calling on US universities to adopt a culture of safety actively supported at all levels, from university presidents and chancellors to student researchers. The report, issued by the US National Research Council (NRC) in response torecent serious accidents in some university research laboratoriesindicates that previous approaches to reduce laboratory accidents, which usually involve introducing new regulations, have not been successful enough. Beyond compliance While acknowledging that there is always room for better adherence to regulations, the authors say the goal of the new report is to move chemical research beyond simple compliance to the adoption of a culture of safety in academic laboratories that transcends inspections, standard operating procedures, and chemical safety plans. It goes on to say that a true safety culture represents a commitment to achieving safety even in the absence of specific rules or regulations. The reports authors analyzed methodologies of safety culture from the industrial sector, including non-laboratory settings such as the airline industry, healthcare, and manufacturing. They list a total … Continue reading →

CARBONDALE -- A doctoral student at SIU is among group a scholars invited to attend a program for tomorrows scientific leaders. Sambasiva Reddy Bheemireddy, who is pursuing a doctorate in chemistry, is taking part in the SciFinder Future Leaders in Chemistry program from Aug. 5-14. The program, sponsored by Chemical Abstract Service, is billed as one of the most prestigious of its kind. Sambasiva will join a group of just 18 other international scientists who are gaining an opportunity to share research experience and knowledge. Sambasiva earned his bachelors degree in chemistry from Kakatiya University, India, in 2006 and his masters degree in organic chemistry from Osmania University, India, in 2008. He worked at Thomson Reuters in 2009 and the Indian Institute of Chemical Technology as a full-time research scholar as part of a research fellowship program from 2009-2012 before joining the doctoral program at SIU. At SIU, Sambasiva works in the laboratory of Kyle Plunkett, assistant professor of chemistry and biochemistry. Sambasiva studies the design and synthesis of small molecule and polymeric materials based on cyclopenta-fused polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons that have relevance for organic electronic devices. As part of the program, he will attend events in Columbus, Ohio and … Continue reading →

Mastering a new offense is never as easy as it sounds and is almost always accompanied by massive potholes in the road. Such is the life Ryan Tannehill leads during the Miami Dolphins' training camp. Learning his first truly new offense since switching to quarterback in college, Tannehill has been on a rollercoaster ride to start camp under coordinator Bill Lazor. Recently Tannehill has thrown a slew of interceptions in practice as he and his targets get comfortable with the scheme. "It's a combination of a bunch of stuff," Tannehill said, per The Miami Herald. "Some throws we're just trying to make in practice to see if it's something we want to move with on during the season. We have other answers on the plays, but the coaching staff wants to take a look at some throws against some different coverages and see if we can complete them.'' The coaching staff doesn't like the picks but isn't worried about the third-year quarterback working through the trials. "There were too many interceptions," coach Joe Philbin said. "However, I thought we responded well later in the practice and kind of worked through it." One issue that that has hindered Tannehill's immediate growth … Continue reading →
