Subject: Re: Science Education & Safety
Brad, Very well stated. I'm a retired chem prof who preda
tes
OSHA. Luckily I learned chemical safety at duPont before taking the
vows
of poverty to become a chem prof at UWEC in 1964. Removing all "unsa
fe"
chemicals from teaching labs would render lab courses unrealistic.
With
proper instruction and supervision, even dangerous chemical compounds have
a
place in the education of undergrads. Al Denio
