We, the Chemistry Lovers

Being a follower of IYC 2011, I was completely aware of the goals and purpose of the events taking place and getting the coveted IYC tag and grants too. However, this one email made me rethink. Valentine's Day is around the corner and I was also aware of the fact that scientists are lovers too, but organizing an IYC 2011 event out of it was a plan that never even crossed my mind-even my wildest imagination would make me refrain from such issues, if any.

2011 is Chemistry's year, sharing its limelight with another international celebration - forests. The International Year of Chemistry (popularly abbreviated as IYC 2011) is an excellent window of opportunity for chemists, chemical educators, chemical scientists all over the globe.

Separation Science Celebrated

Separation science has seen glamour and growth with ever-increasing demand for analysis ranging from environmental, toxicological to forensics. The list is endless and the genre is getting narrower for the graduates. Considering these points, eminent professors and research scientists have rolled out a wonderful interface for evolving pedagogy.      
separationsNOW marks and celebrates chromatography education through webinar series, " Year of Education in Separation Science."
It is fascinating and interesting interface to ask generic to advanced questions. I was intrigued by the idea and would love my graduate class to learn afresh. I would love to challenge the age-old universal method of teaching.
