Accepted for presentation in Science Cafes and Engaging the Public: Techniques for Hosting  Successful Events:  An ACS Presidential Symposium at #ACSNOLA 2018 We'll chat about science cafes and drink cafe au lait and eat beignets! Photo by J.L.Maclachlan Presentation title: 7 years and counting: How the Cape Cod Science Cafe has evolved into a sustainable outreach mechanism for NESACS and Southeastern Massachusetts By: Jennifer Maclachlan What began as a modest science cafe mini grant during the International Year of Chemistry in 2011 for one event, morphed into a series of events that included a hands-on event for kids. The kids event garnered the attention of the Southeastern Massachusetts STEM Network, local science clubs and Boy Scouts which led to various long-term partnerships with these organizations. By 2013, we started hosting a Cape Cod Science Cafe for kids during the Cape and Islands Boy Scouts of America's Wicked Cool Autumn Welcome. 2018 w

Methodology: Feb 26 - Mar 1, 2018 Orange County Convention Center Orlando, FL, USA Accepted for presentation at #Pittcon 2018 in the American Chemical Society Division of Analytical Chemistry Poster Session Sunday evening February 25, 2018  Valencia Ballroom D, W415, of the Orange County Convention Center, 5:30pm-7:30pm Gas Chromatography Application: Environmental Primary Focus: Application Title: A Portable GC/PID for the Analysis of Odorous Sulfur Compounds in Ambient Air Keywords: Air GC Industrial Hygiene Portable Instruments   A capillary column gas chromatography method was used for the analysis of sulfur compounds such as hydrogen sulfide, methyl mercaptan, dimethyl sulfide, and dimethyl disulfide in ambient air. The concentration of these sulfur compounds is typically very low (low to sub ppb) in ambient air. Their odor threshold is at the low ppb levels so it is also necessary to make field measurements near odorous sulfur sources such as refineries, pulp
