Volunteering as tree stewards in Washington Square

This Thanksgiving, we volunteered to be ‘tree stewards‘ in Washington Square!

The Buccella lab and members of the NYU Chemistry community spent an afternoon weeding, watering, and planting new vegetation for the Spring.

A big thank you to Elsy El Khoury for coordinating with the NYC Parks stewardship program. A great way to nurture physical and mental health while contributing to a greener, healthier neighborhood!

Celebrating the International Year of the Periodic Table

 

The New York Local Section of the American Chemical Society celebrated the International Year of the Periodic Table (IYPT 2019) with a giant 3D Periodic Table display at the New York Hall of Science. The display was unveiled on October 18, 2019, to kickoff events of the National Chemistry Week and commemorate the 150th Anniversary of Mendeleev’s Periodic Table.

The Buccella group contributed an entry to the educational display, highlighting one of our favorite elements: Zinc!
