Lida
Schoen from SAW, and a member of the Subcommittee on Public
Understanding of Chemistry, is the coordinator of the contest.
SAW-whose motto is exploring science locally, sharing insights
globally-manages a database of around 2000 school teachers
from all over the world. If you're not familiar with SAW,
have a look at <www.scienceacross.org>.
Prizes
will be awarded and all winning posters will be exhibited
at the IUPAC Congress in Ottawa in August 2003. The display
will coincide with the launch of IUPAC's Public Understanding
of Chemistry initiative and with the special session held
on the topic on Thursday 14 August 2003.
