Teachers are encouraged to incorporate the projects in this column into their lesson plans. Burning Your Candle from Both Ends Kids, the “seesaw” candle is a fire science trick that teaches how combustion and Newton's Third Law of Motion work. A candle, balanced between a pair of glasses, seesaws up and down on its own as it burns. The most important thing you’ll need to see this trick is an adult partner. Have them get a long, thin candle, a needle, two glasses of the same height, a sheet of aluminum foil, and watch them do this trick. First, protect the experiment area with a sheet of aluminum foil. Then, expose the wick at both ends of the candle. If it has some wick pressed onto the bottom of the wax, loosen it. If there isn't any wick then use a dull knife to cut away some wax. Push the needle all the way through the candle about halfway down its length, so half of the needle sticks out either side of the candle. If the candle wax is soft, the needle may push through easily, but if the wax is hard or thick, then grasp the needle with pliers or tweezers, heat it in a flame and push it through the candle.

    Stanford eCorner The Case for Convergence [Entire Talk] Joseph DeSimone, Carbon 01-07-2020 URL: https://ecorner.stanford.edu/videos/the-case-for-convergence-entire-talk/ Joe DeSimone is the founder and executive chairman of Carbon, a global company that is driving the evolution of 3D printing from a prototyping tool into a scalable manufacturing technology. As a professor at the University of North Carolina, DeSimone made scientific breakthroughs in areas including green chemistry, medical devices, and nanotechnology, also co-founding several companies based on his research. In 2016 President Obama awarded him the National Medal of Technology and Innovation, the highest honor in the U.S. for achievement and leadership in advancing technological progress. In this talk, he explores how diverse teams, perspectives and specialties can drive innovations in both technologies and business models.

He co-founded Carbon three years before that.. Previously, he was professor at university of North Carolina, but while you were there, you were also, you do these scientific breakthroughs like I mentioned, in co- founding several companies, all before launching Carbon.. So can you share a little bit more about that path and how you balance those two? - Well, sure.. 00:00:40,840 It's great to connect with a Dukie here, as a Tar Heel but, in fact my first PhD student, Valerie Ashby is now Dean of Trinity college at Duke university.

    Oct. 3, 2014 Jerrold Meinwald wins National Medal of Science By Anne Ju [email protected] Jerrold Meinwald, the Goldwin Smith Professor of Chemistry Emeritus, has received the National Medal of Science, the nation’s highest honor for achievement in science and engineering. Meinwald received the medal in chemistry; other awards were bestowed in behavioral and social sciences, biology, engineering, mathematics and physical sciences, the White House announced Oct. 3. University Photography file photo Over his long career, Meinwald, Jerrold Meinwald, the Goldwin Smith Professor of Chemistry Emeritus, has received the National Medal of Science in chemistry. who joined Cornell’s faculty in 1952 as an instructor in chemistry, has made fundamental discoveries of how chemicals act as repellants and attractants between organisms. He and the late Thomas Eisner, a longtime friend and colleague who won the National Medal of Science in 1994, are credited with establishing the feld of “chemical ecology” – the science that deals with the many ways animals, plants and microorganisms chemically interact. “It’s a very nice thing,” Meinwald said of the award. “It’s maybe a representation of a growing interest in the feld of chemical ecology.” Meinwald’s research has involved the isolation and identifcation of biologically active compounds from insect and other arthropod sources; pheromone systems of some amphibian and mammal species; and identifcation of messenger molecules involved in such systems and the understanding of underlying signal transduction pathways. Meinwald has helped decipher the intricate chemical strategies that insects use for a variety of activities: mating, location of food, protection of ofspring and defense against attackers.

Biographical Memoir COPYRIGHT 1960 NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES WASHINGTON D.C. JOHN ULRIC NEF' June 14,1862-August 13,1915 BY MELVILLE L. WOLFROM OHN ULRIC NEF was a great pioneer in American chemistry. It was J he, along with Arthur Michael and Ira Remsen, who was mainly responsible for the transfer to the universities of the United States of the tenets of the actively growing science of organic chemistry from the laboratories of the great European universities of the time. Nef was a pioneer in theoretical organic chemistry, a great experimental- ist, and an inspiring trainer of men. His advanced students, the Ph.D. trainees, went into positions in the American universities, and espe- cially in the Middle West, determined to carry on the tradition of research. In the words of one: "We were determined to keep some research going if it were only to boil water." This establishment of chemical research in the American universities was carried out under the most difficult of conditions and with little support or understand- ing on the part of the administrators of these growing institutions, who mainly considered the science departments, in the liberal arts colleges, as units which cost a lot of money and produced results of doubtful cultural value.
