It’s National Chemistry Week! Back when it was National Chemistry Day—10/23, of course—we started with bang-up shows (literally) with the late great George Hague. The first one we did was catered thanks to my sister-in-law, who drove a delivery truck and gave us all the out-of-date cookies and other munchies. Well, it has evolved greatly since then, both nationally and in our section. The big event this year will be on October 22 from 10-2 p.m. at the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History...hope you can be there. For me, most interesting press release this month deals with the age of fingerprints...determining not just who was there but when. Once a standardized method is worked out, that should be a great step forward for forensic groups.
