Climate Change Conversations

Bassam Z. Shakhashiri; Jerry A. Bell

The thousands of presentations at next weeks meeting of The American Chemical Society (ACS) in New Orleans exemplify one of the many ways scientists converse among themselves about the most recent advances in science. Science and technology continue to reshape the world we live in, and appreciating how these changes, both intended and unintended, come about is a necessity for all citizens in a democratic society. Scientists have a responsibility to help their fellow citizens understand what science and technology can and cannot do for them.

Every Year Begins a Millennium

Jerry A. Bell

Every year is another year to consider experimenting with new ideas, challenges, and opportunities in our classrooms and laboratories. Many of us have learned what we think are effective teaching strategies by such experimentation. In my case, these lessons learned have included activity-based learning in many settings, emphasis on depth of understanding of basic concepts, making many connections among experiences, and adaptations to the learners. This article outlines a series of demonstrations and their contexts, that trace my pathway to learning these lessons. What I learned along the way leads to recommendations about what we teach and how we teach. Every new idea we pursue or challenge we take on has the potential to have long term consequences. Every year begins a millennium.

The Journal's 75th Anniversary:: Diamond or Fullerene?

Jerry A. Bell

Diamonds are usually associated with a 75th anniversary, but is a different carbon allotrope, fullerene, a more fitting symbol for the Journal? A diamond aptly describes your Journal as long lasting and multifaceted. Month after month and decade after decade readers have found the best ideas in chemical education in its pages. Whether it’s through a novel demonstration to use tomorrow, better explanations of chemical phenomena, or a provocative opinion that makes you wrestle with the way you will structure all of your teaching, every issue of your Journal is a gem that connects you with the chemical education community. Each month, this valued companion invites you to play an active role in enhancing the connections by contributing your own best ideas.
