American Association of Blacks in Energy: Energize Meeting

I don't think I've gotten so many business cards that say, "Vice-President," before.

Live tweeting the second panel. (Highlights below)

Update:
Community College of Philadelphia Dean of Business and Technology Wayne Wormley did a great job representing the school.

"We're still the best deal in town."

"It's not just about a job, you need to prepare yourself for a career."

Rafael Arismendi, Congreso de Latinos

 (Paraphrased)

 'We need to support the schools or the students won't be ready for these kind of jobs and opportunities.'

Overall a great networking opportunity and got some insight into the energy industry. Considering how pervasive they are everyday, many us just aren't familiar with them beyond the switch.

Last Year's Science Show

I wanted to put up these videos, courtesy of CCP NSBE's YouTube channel, of the last science show at Dobbins, before we go today.

Ferrofluids Demonstration (Lucci)

We're going to be under a time crunch this year. We have more demonstrators, which is a good problem to have; but, that means we get to go into less detail on explanations.

Looking forward to it!

Staging Bromine

Moving and cleaning the hazardous chemicals storage to the staging area for the new laboratory.

If I drop any if these bromine ampules tell my wife I love her.

Tell everyone else I said Oh, what a world!
