Science Education and Careers Day
Opening day, Sunday, May 22 , is a special day planned for high school students and their teachers, as well as for academic and industrial scientists from all disciplines who will help celebrate the 100th anniversary of the New Jersey Science Teachers Association (NJSTA). This year MARM and the NJSTA are meeting concurrently, so science teachers will have an opportunity to take advantage of programming from both meetings. High school student posters and projects will be presented by Chemagination participants, Project SEED Students, Intel Project awards winners, state Academy of Science participants, and FIRST Robotics teams. The program features a very strong education component, with symposia for high school and college educators throughout the week. The MARM Regional High School Teacher of the Year Award will also be presented.
Throughout the day the IMAX video Volcanoes of the Deep will be shown, with commentary from Rich Lutz, science advisor for the film and one who has personally visited the deep-sea vents upon which the film is based. David Lee will present a Chemistry Wizard Show with demonstrations from the magical world of chemistry, while Mark Croft and Dave Maiullo will entertain with a Spectacular Physics Show, an event featuring outstanding demonstrations of physical (and some chemical) principles. The Math Science Learning Center, under the direction of Kathy Scott, has numerous hands-on demonstrations and activities planned for all attendees and will be open all day.
Symposia for students, teachers, parents, and scientists will cover exciting developments in biology, chemistry, material science, engineering, pharmaceutics, biotechnology, forensics, and public health and safety. Additional sessions on mentoring, career development, an educational exposition, and a college fair will be included, along with special tours of the Wright-Rieman chemistry laboratories, panel discussions on college life from the perspective of science students, and a presentation on So You Want to be a Doctor.
Undergraduate Poster Session
MARM's undergraduate poster session Monday, May 23rd, provides an exciting opportunity for students to present their research and to network with potential mentors and employers. Students will vie for the Jean Durana Award for best overall poster, the Sigma-Aldrich Award for best poster in organic chemistry, and the CEM Microwave Chemistry Award. The undergraduate Awards presentation and eminent scientists lecture will be followed by a special networking reception for the student presenters. The Chromatography Forum of Delaware Valley Student Award symposium will feature eight of the best separations papers.
Graduate Student Poster Session and Related Programming
Several events are planned specifically for graduate students. On Tuesday, May 24th, The New York and North Jersey Sections of the ACS will co-host the graduate student poster session, with primary sponsorship from the Camille and Henry Dreyfus Foundation. Four winners will receive a $250 prize and an invitation from the New York section to its annual Nichols Symposium and dinner in April 2006 for the best posters as judged by a panel of young chemists/recent graduates employed in industry. Poster sessions will be followed by a complimentary lunch for the participants. That afternoon they are invited to a panel discussion by three pharmaceutical industry leaders on Making Plans for a Career in the Pharmaceutical Industry. The panel will focus on employment opportunities, especially for new doctoral graduates, and what it is like to work in the pharmaceutical industry. See www.marmacs.org for more information and details on how to submit a poster.
