Join us for the New England Association of Chemistry Teachers Western Division Meeting
How does a cosmetic chemist end up leading eye drop development? It's actually related to soap! Our guest presenter, Richard R Tenore, will speak about how to get students excited about these topics.
Richard will review surface active chemistry in general, mild cleansing & micelles along with some insight on marketing cosmetics, and will conclude with insights on chronic dry eye disease and the colloidal nature of healthy human tears.
This session will be held Monday, 6/13 from 4-6 pm.
