SUMMARY:Chemistry Day at the Kalamazoo Valley Museum
DESCRIPTION:The Kalamazoo Valley Museum and the Kalamazoo Section of the American Chemical Society invite you to attend the event “Fabulous Fibers: The Chemistry of Fabrics!”\, which is the 2022 theme of our National Chemistry Week outreach. Visitors of all ages will enjoy chemistry experiments related to fibers\, as well as other favorites. After a two-year hiatus\, the 36th annual event will take place in person on Saturday\, October 15\, from noon to 4 p.m. at the museum; it is FREE to attendees. \n\n\n\nDiscover how chemistry can tell us more about fibers using fire in Great Balls of Fire! Use the sun to create a chemical print on fabric. Learn about ice dyeing and use synthetic dyes to tie dye a bandana. Absorbent polymers are used in diapers to help absorb moisture and also make for some fun artificial snow. See how chemicals combine to create a string of nylon. Observe how milk\, soured by vinegar\, can be used to create buttons and how that same milk can show us how stains can be removed. \n\n\n\nMany of past favorites are back! Make your own slime\, explore acids and bases\, clean pennies with ketchup\, learn about PVT effects using colored water\, try paper chromatography and “magic” sand. Chemiluminescence and elephant toothpaste demonstrations can be seen at 12:30\, 1:30\, 2:30\, and 3:30 p.m. in the theater. Get your free tickets at the front desk. This spectacular science show is filled with glow-in-the-dark lights and “dancing” milk! \n\n\n\nWe look forward to seeing you at the Kalamazoo Valley Museum (230 N. Rose Street) on Saturday\, October 15\, from 12-4 p.m.!

SUMMARY:Seminar: James Bour (Wayne State University)
DESCRIPTION:Dr. James Bour\, chemistry professor at Wayne State University\, will deliver a seminar in person at Kalamazoo College on Thursday\, October 13\, at 6 p.m. in Dewing Hall\, room 103. This seminar is jointly sponsored by KACS and the Kalamazoo College Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry. Questions may be directed to edwardwthomas@gmail.com or Blakely.Tresca@kzoo.edu. \n\n\n\nTitle: Understanding Relationships Between Defectivity and Microporosity in Organic Polymers \n\n\n\nAbstract: This presentation describes efforts to understand structural features critical for high surface areas in porous organic polymers. Using a network disassembly approach\, we show that porosity is highly sensitive to dangling end defects. The implications of these insights on the design of improved synthetic approaches for high surface areal materials will be discussed. \n\n\n\nDr. Bour’s Biographical Information: After graduating from Hackett High School in Kalamazoo\, Dr. Bour earned a B.S. from Hope College in 2013 and Ph.D. in chemistry from the University of Michigan in 2018. As a graduate student he worked on the organometallic chemistry of high-valent nickel under Professor Melanie Sanford. He then moved to MIT as an Arnold O. Beckman Postdoctoral Fellow to study catalytic applications of metal-organic frameworks in the lab of Professor Mircea Dinca. He began his independent career in 2020 at Wayne State University where his team studies the synthesis and applications of porous organic materials. \n\n\n\nAll are welcome! Starting at 5:10 p.m. there will be a reception in the Dewing Lobby featuring light sandwiches and soft drinks; to ensure there is enough food\, if you plan to attend the reception please contact edwardwthomas@gmail.com.
