Minority chemists, chemical engineers gather to celebrate accomplishments

摘要

It was sheer coincidence that the 23rd annual meeting of the National Organization for the Professional Advancement of Black Chemists & Chemical Engineers (NOBCChE) and "Break-Through: The Changing Face of Science in America," a Public Broadcasting Service miniseries spotlighting careers of minority scientists and engineers, both kicked off on April 8. But the coincidence reflects the fact that the color of the faces in science and engineering are indeed changing—and changing in large numbers, as was evident at NOBCChE's conference, held in Detroit.
