April 17 . - The High School Chemistry Contest, scheduled to be administered on
March 13 and 14 , has been cancelled. - Coffee/Cocktails with Chemists: the next event in this series was scheduled for

June 21 , but we’re looking for safer dates later in the summer. We’ll let you know as soon as we have solid information. Stay tuned.
