National Chemistry Week (NCW), a community-based outreach program of the American Chemical Society, is designed to reach the public with positive messages about chemistry and to make a positive change in the public's impression of chemistry. Activities include chemical demonstrations, hands-on activities, lectures, open houses, displays, contests and games. NCW is celebrated annually from Sunday through Saturday during the fourth week of October. The theme for 2007 is "The Many Faces of Chemistry" with a celebration planned for the week of October 21 – 27. The theme will highlight traditional and nontraditional careers in the chemical sciences and celebrate diversity within our society. In addition, NCW 2007 commemorates the 20th anniversary of the outreach initiative. For more information, email ncw@acs.org or visit www.chemistry.org/ncw.
