National Chemistry Week (NCW) takes place next week!
NCW is an awareness program held by the American Chemical Society (ACS). This annual program endeavors to unite and educate chemistry students, teachers, scholars, professionals, amateurs, and general fanatics in regards to the importance chemistry plays in our quality of life. NCW occurs on the third week of October each year, and it's just about that time of year again.
