Title: The World of Chemistry on Postage Stamps
Abstract:
Postage stamps constitute a simple yet effective means of communication, often used by governments or postal authorities to inform the general public on a variety of topics, including historical events, tourist attractions, and national accomplishments in the arts. A surprisingly large number of stamps have also been issued to commemorate scientific discoveries or to honor well-known scientists. This presentation will feature postage stamps pertaining to the history of chemistry, the discovery and sources of several chemical elements, the development of the periodic table, chemical formulas and structures, laboratory equipment, biochemistry, and various aspects of the chemical industry.
Agenda: 6:00 pm – dinner/social ($10.00).
