Students making videos of their own lab experiments? It’s becoming increasingly common in my teaching labs. Here’s a student recording green flames from a boric acid solution 😎🧪🎯⚗️

As of 7 am (10/15/2024), we’re 50% finished with LatinXChem. Two of our posters have gotten significant movement: >700 views. Nick’s sadly has fallen to the wayside ( ). If you have an X/Twitter account, can you please ❤️ and 🔄 his project?

Thank you 🙂

Facebook Friends... I need your help! My CACC Chemistry students and I have entered the annual Latinx Chem conference on X/Twitter, and we're trying to get exposure.

Can you please click the link below to view our project, give us a ❤️ and "retweet". We're aiming to have 1000 views and 100 reactions by Tuesday night for each of our 3 projects.

The project below is a nebulization kinetics study that Kaitlyn Bell, Darby Green, and June Carr (yes, that one) worked on last Spring. We are very close to publishing results (I'm in talks with a publisher right now), and placing in LatinXChem would give our project even more weight!

Thank you in advance,
Jeremy

New Space Camp experience posted! In this essay, I describe my time personally building, helping students build, and then firing model Estes Alpha rockets. I also reflect upon the feasibility of incorporating this activity into STEM Camp-type outreach programs.

“…black powder engine-mediated rocketry has been logistically challenging at our institution. Historically, my backup plan has routinely consisted of pneumatic water rockets. Students …

New series of posts describing my recent experiences chaperoning Space Camp in Huntsville.. I’ll post more soon!

Several of our presenters at Space Camp pointed out a not-so-obvious requirement. Aerospace is not looking for just anybody.

Another one?!? Spotted just last week, and arriving in November, comet A11BP7I doesn’t yet have a formal name. Expect early morning viewing in the Northern Hemisphere with brightness equivalent to Venus!

Heads up, comet-watchers! The ATLAS survey in Hawaii has discovered another new comet that could become bright in Earth’s skies. The discovery date is September 27, 2024. The comet is so new it’s still waiting for its name. But for now it has the designation of A11bP7I. Predictions for the comet...

This week, I submitted 3 abstracts for the 2024 LatinXChem poster competition in mid-October. Although no ChemEd this time (1st place finish in 2023), all three projects feature work from undergraduate researchers who have taken multiple chemistry courses here at CACC! Huge announcements to share with the world… stay tuned for updates!

is a virtual chemistry community, from Latin America to the world where you can share and discuss your research results and advances.

This is INCREDIBLE: legendary computational chemist Dr. Jimmy Stewart (i.e., Mr. Mopac) met virtually with my Organic Chemistry II course today. We have been using Mopac all summer long to model the countless molecules that we've been studying. The students have also been using Dr. Stewart's software in their own independent organic chemistry research projects. Suffice it to say that his "visit" was a certainly a celebrity moment and one they probably will never forget.

The interview is being edited and will be uploaded to YouTube shortly. PM me if you'd like the link :-)
