A Rare-Earth Samarium Oxide Catalyst for Electrocatalytic Nitrogen Reduction to Ammonia

[NNadir]

3. Thank you for thinking about the children and their exposure to science education.

My local section of the American Chemical Society is planning to offer on line demos designed for young people during National Chemistry Week.

There are a lot of resources on line about chemistry on the internet, and an adult advising kids about how exciting science is actually more important than one can know.

I used to think that maybe this sort of thing was quickly forgotten, but about a year or two ago, my youngest son, who is about to graduate with a degree in Engineering, criticized the demonstration of entropy I gave him when he was about nine or ten years old.

My entropy demonstration may or may not have sucked, but the fact that he remembered it pleasantly surprised me.

One of my sons is a scientist/engineer; the other an artist, but they both have very solid understandings of science, and in these times, scientifically literate nonscientists are more important than ever.

Thanks again.
