MARK YOUR CALENDAR FOR 19 JANUARY!
CHF TO APPEAR ON SCIENCE CHANNEL PROGRAM
On Wednesday, 19 January, at 8:00 p.m. the Science Channel (part of the Discovery Networks) will air a program dedicated to the greatest chemical discoveries of all time. Featured will be CHF’s own Arnold Thackray, along with Nobel laureates Richard Smalley and Dudley Herschbach. The program is part of a series, The 100 Greatest Discoveries in Science, hosted by Bill Nye, “The Science Guy.” If you miss the 19 January program, it will be rebroadcast several times during the following week. In most areas the Science Channel is a premium cable channel, but the series may air later in the year on the main Discovery Channel. For more information on the series and to subscribe to the Science Channel, visit http://science.discovery.com/. You may also call your local cable company for details on how to subscribe.
