The Division of Chemical Education has some exciting events coming up this fall and they are virtual so you can attend!

The Chemistry Education Research Committee from the ACS Division of Chemical Education is starting a new Webinar series entitled "Build me an argument on..." These webinars will be dedicated to connecting chemistry education research to practice. The first webinar in this series will be presented by Jon-Marc Rodriguez from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. I hope you can join us on Tuesday September 27 at 3 PM (PST) at https://arizona.zoom.us/j/84406721455 . More information can be found at: https://chemicalthinking.xyz/CHEDWeb/Web092722.
