November
2011 Monthly
Meeting Report |
By
Kathi Browne & Michael Filosa |

Norris Award Dinner
Dr. Peter Mahaffy of the King’s Uni- versity
College in Edmonton, Canada, received the 60th annual
James Flack Norris Award for Outstanding Achievement
in Teaching Chemistry at the November meeting of
the NESACS, held on November 10th at Astra-Zeneca
in Waltham, Massachu- setts. Dr. Mahaffy was introduced
by his associate, Dr. Margaret-Ann Armour, of the
University of Alberta. |
| Dr. Mahaffy’s
presentation, Should Atoms Come First? Teaching Chemistry
from Rich Contexts, addressed ways in which the current
general chemistry curriculum could be restructured
to ensure a curriculum rich in content while simultaneously
addressing the current challenges faced by scientists
within the global community. |
| Dr. Mahaffy has
generously donated the honorarium received from
the award to support African chemistry education
and undergraduate student research experiences. (By
Kathi Browne) |
Heyn Memorial Prize
At the November Meeting the Arno Heyn Memorial Book
Prize was also presented to Harvey Steiner of Art
Related Technology, Inc. Harvey rem- inisced about
the day Arno came in with “his muscle, Vince
Gale” and asked Harvey, “Can you do
this?” That began Harvey’s 20 year
tenure produc- ing 10 issues per year of the Nucleus.
Harvey marveled at Arno’s memory of detail
and his visits with “his posse of Myke Simon
and Don Rickter” (also no slouches at attention
to detail) to proofread and correct the final copy.
Vince, Myke and Don are all previous recipients
of the Heyn Prize. Harvey was a gracious and most
appropriate recipient of the seventh award. |
| AstraZeneca was
a wonderful venue for the monthly meeting. Many thanks
to Ken Mattes and Astra- Zeneca for making this possible.
