The Tennessee Tech chapter of the Student Members of the American Chemical Society (SMACS) was recently featured in an edition of Chemical & Engineering News (C&EN), which is a weekly news magazine published by the American Chemical Society that provides professional and technical news in the field of chemistry and chemical engineering. The SMACS chapter was highlighted for their work with the Nashville ACS Local Section for celebrating Chemists Celebrate Earth Week in April. SMACS and the Nashville local section hosted a booth at the Nashville Earth Day Celebration in Centennial Park where they helped people make alginate gels and spheres, and explore the properties of algae. These activities were part of the Curious Chemistry of Amazing Algae theme that highlighted the emergence of algae as one of the most promising long-term, sustainable sources of food, feed, and other co-products.
