Magic of Chemistry Show

Did you know that this week is the 26th annual National Chemistry Week? Each year the American Chemical Society (ACS) encourages local businesses, schools, and individuals to "promote the value of chemistry in everyday life" by organizing or participating in community events focusing on a particular theme of chemistry.

This year's theme is "Energy: Now and Forever!" To celebrate, the East Tennessee local section (ETS) of the ACS is hosting a Magic of Chemistry Show, featuring Dr. Al Hazari, on Tuesday, October 22 from 7-8 pm at the University of Tennessee-Knoxville campus in Dabney-Buehler Hall, Room 555. Free parking is available in the garage at the corner of White Ave and 11th St from 6-9 pm. After you park, take the stairs/elevator to floor 5 of the garage and then walk across Cumberland on the bridge leading to campus. Dabney-Buehler Hall is the first building you see on the hill. Hope to see you there!

Mole Day

Since Wednesday is "Mole Day" the ETS-ACS will also be handing out MOLEasses cookies! Donations will be accepted and all proceeds go to the Bredesen Center Susan G. Komen 5k team who will be racing this Saturday at World's Fair Park! Thank you for your support!
