Chemistry Ambassadors Forum at #ACSsanfran: Getting Involved
Chemistry Ambassadors Forum
ACS National Meeting,
San Francisco, April 1, 2017, Hotel Nikko, Nikko Ballroom II, 2-4 PM
Facilitated by Amina El-Ashmawy, Chemistry Ambassadors
Subcommittee of the ACS Committee on Public Relations and Communications. A
Chemistry Ambassador is someone who puts a human face on our science through outreach.
The outreach includes something as small as a one-on-one elevator speech, a
mid-scale event at a school or museum, or large-scale event that reaches
thousands of individuals. This forum is for everyone, from someone interested
in getting started in outreach to those at the expert level who haves a lot of
experience with outreach. The aim the afternoon is to share experiences, get
ideas, and build a network of folks we can contact for help.
The forum consists of 6 tables, each with a facilitator who
will move along the discussion addressing a specific topic. At each table, the
facilitator will determine a recorder to capture the ideas shared on the flip
charts provided. The table topics are:
Table 1: Getting
Started - Sonya Adas
Table 2: Student
Groups - Kendra Evans
Table 3: Science
Cafes - Jennifer Maclachlan
Table 4: Motivating
Volunteers - Milt Levenberg
Table 5: Speaking at
Schools - Terry Say
Table 6: Benefits of
Outreach - Bob de Groot
The structure for the discussion will be 20-minute blocks. Participants
will start at one of the six tables. I will let you know when the 20 minutes
are up, at which time you will go to another table. We will have four 20-minute
blocks, so you will have the opportunity to participate in almost all topic
discussions. At the end, each table will have 3-4 minutes to report out the
main points from their discussions. Meanwhile, CPRC members will be walking
around the room to help with the flow and answer any questions that may arise.
Alright, here we go.
2:10 – 2:30: Session #1
2:32 – 2:52: Session #2
2:54 – 3:14: Session #3
3:16 – 3:33: Session #4
3:35 – 3:55: Reporting out (~5 minutes each table)
3:55: Wrap up and closing remarks

Evaluation of a Portable GC/PI Detector
11:35 AM - 11:55 AM Total Time: 20
Most portable direct-reading instruments are not capable of specifying individual chemical compounds or extremely bulky. Recently, a portable gas chromatograph/photoionization detector has been commercialized. This instrument is designed to measure individual VOC compounds, measure a worker's breathing zone exposure, and be portable. However, this instrument has not been fully evaluated via laboratory performance tests.
