MWG HOME About the Mercury Work Group The Massachusetts Water Resources Authority (MWRA) currently prohibits the discharge of mercury by industrial facilities to its sewer system and imposes an effective discharge limitation for mercury of 1.0 part per billion (ppb) from its regulated sources, including hospitals and institutions. Meeting the MWRA's standard for sewer discharge presents a formidable challenge for hospitals because of the nature of the testing performed and the type of equipment used by health care providers in their effort to effectively diagnose and treat disease. Key substances used in research and diagnostic work, reagents in particular, often contain trace amounts of mercury that are usually not listed in the content descriptions. These trace amounts of mercury tend to collect in the organic material (biomass) that may be present in waste piping systems and, as a consequence, can slough off into the wastewater stream at any time. This problem is further complicated by the fact that laboratory testing procedures vary significantly, depending upon the type of testing or research being conducted, making standardization of procedures exceedingly difficult.

Stephen Berry, Martin Blume, Thomas von Foerster, Alexander Fowler, Paul Ginsparg, Stephen Heller, Neil Kestner, Andrew Odlyzko, Ann Okerson, Ron Wigington, Anne Moffat P ublishing the results of scientific research was, for many years, a symbiotic interaction between researchers and publishers, because the most effective way scientists could disseminate their results was through journals, produced by professional societies and independent publishers. Electronic communication has created new ways to distribute such results and is forcing researchers and publishers to reassess the old procedures and consider new possibilities as we learn to use the Internet. Now, not only can authors easily disseminate their results, but networked readers can have cheap, fast access to more scientific literature and have it in a form that facilitates its use in their own research.
Extractions: Remarkable growth in Connecticut's BioScience industry has created significant opportunities for people interested in BioScience careers. There are also opportunities for technical school graduates. Current openings exist for people with varying levels of education and experience, particularly in biochemistry, chemistry, microbiology, molecular biology, and pharmacology. Future employment opportunities are most promising for individuals with technical, bachelor's and master's degrees in these sciences. Additional vacancies exist for non-scientific, infrastructure positions such as accounting, business development, clerical, engineering, facilities management, information technology, and legal.

April 1997 Communicator Positions in doctorategranting institutions, although outwardly prestigious On the surface, this drop in unemployment for new chemistry graduates seems http://www.cgsnet.org/vcr/cctr704.htm
Extractions: Vice President for Research and Information Services It's Not Just Employment/Unemployment Anymore Realities of Ph.D. labor market lead to more complex measures of postgraduation employment A trio of professional societies has recently released reports on the labor market status of new Ph.D. recipients in science and engineering. While providing the usual statistics on employment and unemployment, this new round of reports reveals the underlying complexity of the current science and engineering labor market. Ph.D.s are not just obtaining traditional jobs in academe, government or industry; they are finding employment in a wide variety of situations. Included in this mix is the postdoc, which is considered in some studies as employment, and in others treated as a separate category. The analyses conducted by the professional societies reflect this more fluid employment picture. American Institute of Physics One of the perennial leaders in collecting and disseminating data on physicists, the AIP has published its 1996 initial employment report on 1995 physics degree recipients. As shown in Figure 1 , AIP divides employment status into a number of useful categories, including postdocs, potentially permanent, and temporary positions. The change in employment status from the summer immediately following the receipt of the doctorate to the winter is striking the 19 percent seeking employment drops to a 4 percent unemployment rate, and the percentage with postdocs and potentially permanent positions increases. As expected, employment status for new Ph.D.s changes rapidly in the first six months following the doctorate.

Inquiries, information related to AGEP, and all correspondence should be sent to the editor. Minority Ph.D. Production in SME Fields: Distributing the Work? By Dr. Shirley M. Malcom, American Association for the Advancement of Science, Head, Directorate for Education and Human Resources Programs Science and engineering communities have expressed enthusiastic support for the FY 2001 budget proposed by President Clinton. This budget calls for a $1B increase in support for the National Institutes of Health as well as the largest dollar increase ever proposed for support of research and education at the National Science Foundation. This budget is based on a growing realization by the Administration and the Congress of the contribution of science and technology to our economic prosperity as well as to our quality of life. Federal Reserve Board Chairman Alan Greenspan has noted in recent speeches and articles the importance of the new technologies to the unprecedented prosperity and economic health which the U.S. is enjoying. And support for basic research within the Congress has been strongly bipartisan. Whether this rhetorical support is translated into real dollars, however, must await the resolution of the political process in a presidential election year.

Invitations are based on an institution's classification by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching as a research and doctoral university and on the institution's record of postbaccalaureate student achievement in the sciences. HHMI also considers each institution's record of preparing students from groups underrepresented in the sciences to pursue scientific careers. To identify institutions invited to participate, HHMI conducts assessments covering the most recent 10-year period for which data are available. Institutions are assessed on the basis of the percent and absolute number of graduates from each institution who have
Extractions: Thousands of books have been written on the history of Western science. The list below gives details and brief descriptions of a hundred or so that are especially good introductions to the field (or parts of it). The list is, by design, selective and idiosyncratic. The books on it were chosen because they combine solid scholarship, broad coverage, and an accessible style. Most include extensive bibliographies of more specialized books and articles. Virtually all are in print as of this writing [Fall 1998], and should be readily available through large bookstores and their on-line equivalents. The list does not include articles, primary sources, or books that deal only in part with historical issues. Nor, for the moment, does it include works on the histories of mathematics, technology, and medicine. It makes no attempt to include non-Western scientific traditions. These limits are designed both to keep the list to a manageable size and to keep it within the bounds of its compilers' expertise. Like all arbitrary limits, they are subject to change. Information on publishers, publication dates, and in-print status were accurate as of this writing and will be updated periodically if necessary. The abbreviations "U" (for university) and "UP" (for university press) are used throughout.

Employers Chemisty UNCW Department of Chemistry - http://www.uncw.edu/chem/ Related Career Titles Related Major Skills Related Web Sites Approximately 100,000 chemists currently work in the U.S. The majority of these chemists are employed in manufacturing firms- mostly in the chemical manufacturing industry, which includes firms that produce plastics and synthetic materials, drugs, soaps and cleaners, paints, industrial organic chemicals, and other miscellaneous chemical products. Chemists also work for State and local governments, primarily in health and agriculture, and for Federal agencies, chiefly in the Departments of Defense, Health and Human Services, and Agriculture. Others work for research and testing services, and educational institutions. Employment of chemists is expected to grow about as fast as the average for all occupations through the year 2005. In July 1997, the American Chemical Society reported that "with overall unemployment in the U.S. at its lowest level since 1973, job status and salaries of chemists improved considerably after several rough years."
