Recognition Day The Frederick F. Spaziani Memorial Award 2012  scholarship is awarded by a Suffolk University faculty committee to one full-time and one part-time student in the Chemistry, Physics and/or Engineering program on the basis of merit.  2012 awardees are  both on the Astrophysics Track , Amanda Lewis and Elizabeth Rodriguez. April 26, 2012. Elizabeth Rodriguez, Dr. Walter Johnson, Amanda Lewis and Jennifer Maclachlan Fred Spaziani co-founded of  HNU Systems, Inc. with Jack Driscoll in 1973. Together they developed the first commercial photoionization detector that is now the most important method for measuring volatile organic compounds. Fred left us at too early an age and the award is to help students in science or engineering reach their full potential.

I had the good fortune earlier this month to attend a seminar called:  How  Pinterest  Can Be Your Business’ Secret Social Media Weapon (Morning Program) led by  Lisa Kalner Williams,  the founder of  Sierra Tierra Marketing , an agency that provides social analysis, strategy, and instruction to corporations and individuals.  I made sure to leave enough time to get "over the bridge" from Cape Cod to Boston with the lane reduction on either side during commuter time.

I received an email from a colleague of mine who forwarded me the *Events your friends are attending and picks just for you* email-wondering if we knew about and or were going to a STEM event at Whee
