Greetings fellow chemistry educators,

I am writing to inform you that the IUPAC CCCE 2021 meeting will be held virtually between August 13-20, 2021. Amongst the many interesting symposia listed (including those in chemistry education) on the conference website, I would like to advertise a symposium that I and a committee are organizing titled: "It Gets Better: LGBTQ+ in Chem".

Open position at Duke University

Anonymous (not verified) | Wed, 03/03/2021 - 19:10

Duke has an opening for a NTT faculty position (formal job announcement is below). Please feel welcome to apply or help spread the word to your department’s graduate students, post docs, or anyone else who is currently engaged in a job search. The appointment is initially a 3 year term with an expectation of renewal (it is a critical position in the department). I think it’s particularly important to make clear that this is a long-term career position with a ladder for promotions.

Thank you for your consideration.

With kind regards,
Dori

Good morning to all,

Just a brief note that I have had to rebuild my website (long story).

More relevant to the CER listserv is that I’ve also rebuilt the google map for CER grad programs in the U.S. While I have put a redirect in place for my old website, you may wish to update any direct links you have to the CER grad program map with this new URL:

https://sites.google.com/miamioh.edu/bretzsl/cer-resources/cer-graduate-programs

Thank you.

We are seeking faculty, staff, and graduate students to participate in an online survey linked below on the current status of educational experiences in undergraduate biology laboratory courses. The ultimate goal is to help understand and inform the education community about instructors’ perspectives on undergraduate laboratory education and research. Instructors’ perspectives are critical to students’ access to authentic research and educational experiences and consequently to student outcomes. Instructors and lab managers at all levels of experience are welcome to participate.

BCCE 2022 Interest Survey

Thomas Bussey | Tue, 02/02/2021 - 11:43

Hello ChemEd Colleagues,

 

I don’t know about you, but 11 months of virtual conferences, Zoom classes, and social isolation is wearing thin. But hopefully with the ongoing vaccine rollout, the light at the end of the tunnel is coming closer.

 

As bright spot to look forward to, we are in the early planning phase of the 2022 Biennial Conference on Chemical Education (BCCE) to be held on July 31-August 4th at Purdue University.
