The COVID-19 pandemic is changing how we teach the chemistry lab course. Join this C&EN Table Talks event to learn from experts and your peers about:
      - Acing the virtual lab: tips for student success
      - Distance learning and lab simulations
      - Do the costs of laboratory courses justify the ends?
      - The role of labs in developing students’ scientific writing and literature
reading skills
      - What do students learn from lab courses, and how do we know?
C&EN Table Talks provide guided, small-group discussion on topics that are timely and important to chemists and other scientists. In this virtual Table Talks event, facilitators will lead Zoom discussions in breakout rooms on select topics. You will be asked to pick the topics that interest you when you register. C&EN Table Talks prioritize small group discussion, so seats are limited. We will confirm your participation as the event gets closer so that we can open up any remaining seats to the waiting list.
