Many weeks of research and
hard work finally paid off
for chemistry students who
attended the American Chemi-
cal Society's. Southwest Region-
al Meeting in Fort Worth earlier
this week.
The students were responsible
for researching a specific topic
and then presenting their find-
ings on a bulletin board during a
poster session.
Visitors could walk by exam-
ine the displays and ask stu-
dents questions.
"More than anything it's a
chance for you to show off what
you've been working on down
in your lab for a long time"
said Nathan Williams senior;
biochemistry major from Dun-
canvillc. In addition to presenting their
own research the students were
able to attend several of the
almost 300 lectures offered.
Julie Traynham senior bio
chemistry major from Abilene
said she benefited from the lec-
tures she attended.
"Anytime you get to learn
especially about specific topics
rather than broad topics is
always a good experience"
Traynhan said.
One lecture focused on
careers in chemistry
The lecturer provided students
with information on everything
from what kind of jobs are
available to the procedures of
interviewing for a job as a
chemist Williams said.
Teachers who went to the con-
vention were also able to attend
a few of the lectures.

professor of chemistry said one
lecture was focused towards the
teachers themselves.

were interested in a session that
was dedicated to teaching
chemistry how we can better
teach chemistry" Powell said.
