Chemical craziness at the Museum! Join in the fun and discover that chemistry is cool as the Museum and the NC ACS concoct a day full of awesome chemistry experiments, magic, exhibits and special presentations. This year's theme is "The Many Faces of Chemistry." General information about chemistry careers will be provided by area employers. The event will be held at the Museum of Natural Sciences in downtown Raleigh on Saturday, October 20, 2007 from 10 am to 3 pm. Museum information is available at: http://www.naturalsciences.org.
Last year, over 2,000 people of all ages and backgrounds packed the museum exhibit hall to learn about the contributions of chemistry to our lives.
