SUMMARY:2021 Mosher Award Presentation: Exploring the Use of Models and Animations to Teach Chemical Principles
DESCRIPTION:Download and share the colorful poster\nView animations on Resa Kelly’s YouTube Channel \nSJSU Professor Resa Kelly\, 2021 Harry and Carol Mosher Award Winner\nEach year the Silicon Valley ACS local section presents the Harry and Carol Mosher Award to an ACS member in recognition of outstanding work in chemistry\, advancement of chemistry as a profession\, and service to the ACS.  The 2021 award winner is Dr. Resa Kelly of San Jose State University.  Professor Kelly will present a summary of her research at the SVACS Mosher Award presentation ceremony on March 3\, 2022. \nAbstract\nOne challenge in chemistry learning is developing an understanding of chemical processes at an atomic level. The use of animations and visualizations has repeatedly been reported to be an effective method for helping students make sense of atomic level reaction processes; however\, students often fail to deeply engage with these models. It is necessary to help students learn how to compare animations rather than accept them as “truth.” In her talk\, Dr. Kelly will characterize the nature of the thought processes that students engage as they construct atomic level models in the example of a neutralization reaction.  She will then describe how the modeling exercise affects students’ emotional responses to ideas presented in conflicting animation models of the same reaction\, and how students ultimately decide which animation is most scientifically accurate. \nBiography\nProfessor Kelly is on the faculty of San José State University where she has achieved the rank of full professor and is in her 16th year at the university. She is the Chair and Director of Science Education and teaches General Chemistry as well as graduate courses in Science Education. Professor Kelly’s research interests involve studying how students learn and modify their understanding of chemistry concepts and mechanisms through molecular visualizations. She uses animations and activities to enhance students’ understanding of chemical reactions.   \nDr. Kelly’s work in chemical education research has garnered her an international reputation for excellence.   Her service at the national level of the American Chemical Society has involved serving as Secretary and Councilor for the Division of Chemical Education. She has also served as a member of the Membership Affairs Committee and currently is a member of the International Activities Committee. \n\nOnline via Zoom\, Free\, Registration Required

SUMMARY:Water Quality and Contaminant Fate Following Natural Disasters
DESCRIPTION:Download and share the colorful flyer\nAbstract \nThe 2018 Camp Fire is the deadliest and most destructive wildfire in California’s history. The fire killed 88 people according to recent estimates\, consumed 18\,000 homes and other structures\, and burned down the entire town of Paradise. Firefighters contained the conflagration only after it rained during Thanksgiving week. But when the weather shifted\, not everyone felt at ease. The storm not only tamped down the fire\, it also began the process of flushing a mixture of toxic chemicals into the region’s creeks and rivers. Extensive drinking water system damage and chemical contamination were uncovered in the burn area. The fire rendered large and small water systems and private wells broken and chemically tainted. Scientists and ecotoxicologists have worked hard to understand and resolve the extent of water contamination with ongoing testing and solutions. According to national climate assessments\, California’s wildfire season now threatens to stretch year-round. More regions in the US are likely to see fires as a result of climate change. One of the major findings from recent fires is that people living in the burn area lacked much needed building water safety guidance. \nJoin us as Dr. Andrew Whelton and Dr. Jackson Webster\, leading environmental engineers\, enlighten us about water quality and contaminant fate following natural disasters and how science and data aid health departments\, federal agencies and homeowners to respond to such natural disasters. \nBiographies \nDr. Andrew Whelton \n \nAndrew Whelton\, Ph.D. is a Purdue University professor of civil\, environmental\, and ecological engineering whose work focuses at the intersection of public health\, infrastructure\, and the environment.  He earned a Ph.D. in Civil Engineering from Virginia Tech.  Professor Whelton is internationally recognized for water infrastructure disaster response and recovery. \nIn recent years\, he has been called into disasters such as the Freedom Industries Chemical Spill\, Camp Fire\, Marshall Fire\, and Lytton BC Fires\, among others. His teams have positively changed how governments\, water utilities\, nonprofit organizations\, health departments\, and legislatures support communities before and after disasters. His websites (www.PlumbingSafety.org;  www.CIPPSafety.org) further make their discoveries accessible to communities of interest. \nIn 2015\, the U.S. National Science Foundation created a “Science Nation” video to highlight his team’s work benefiting U.S. public safety and welfare. \n  \nDr. Jackson Webster \n \nDr. Jackson Webster is an Associate Professor of civil engineering at California State University\, Chico\, who studies the effects of wildfire on water quality. He received his Ph.D. in Civil Engineering from the University of Colorado\, Boulder. \nDr. Webster’s research has primarily focused on remobilization of mercury from soil during wildfire and the subsequent geochemical cycling in burned watersheds across the western US. Following the Camp Fire (2018)\, he expanded his post-wildfire research to examine watershed contamination from urban burning. Dr. Webster led a year-long monitoring study of storm water runoff from the town of Paradise\, CA\, to assess the effects of widespread urban burning on the local watersheds. Since the Camp Fire\, his inquiry into the subject of post-fire water quality has continued with multiple studies on large wildland-urban interface (WUI) fires including the North Complex (Plumas County\, CA\, 2020)\, LNU lightning complex (Napa and Sonoma Counties\, CA\, 2020) and\, most recently\, the Marshal Fire (Boulder County\, CO\, 2021) where he has engaged with state and local stakeholders to provide guidance on post-fire storm water management and water quality concerns. \n  \nOnline via Zoom\, Free\, Register to receive Zoom link \n
