A chemistry outreach program at Simmons College is described. It involves undergraduate women majoring in science, who conduct chemistry demonstrations for inner-city middle school students. The program is aimed at sparking interest in science among inner-city middle school girls by presenting science in fun, exciting experiments. By providing these girls with women role models and hands-on experiments that relate to everyday life, we hope to encourage many girls to consider a career in science.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
