Planning the 2010 New Jersey Chemistry Olympics

Late this afternoon I attended a meeting in the Chemistry Department with Borislaw Bilash and other New Jersey high school chemistry teachers to plan the 2010 Chemistry Olympics which will be held Wednesday May 19 at NJIT. I will again be the judge for the Information Search. This year students will bring a model of a molecule of an antiviral drug on the day of the event. They will also have 25 minutes to use the published literature to get answers to questions posed to them about antivirals. It has been a rewarding experience doing this over the years.
