Safety colleagues,

Please consider submitting an abstract for a symposium at the 2014 Biennial Conference on Chemical Education at Grand Valley State University.  GVSU is located near Grand Rapids, Mi, and the conference is scheduled for August 3-7, 2014.  The symposium is:

New Directions in Academic Lab Safety

“Safety in academic labs is taking on more importance in both high schools and colleges.  This symposium will address best practices in academic lab safety instruction and department strategies to foster safe laboratories across the educational spectrum.  It is expected that presentations will stimulate robust conversations about current and future practices.”

Abstracts can be submitted at:  http://bcce-submissions.com/ and the deadline for submission is February 28, 2014.
