New Life For Old Equipment
One scientist's trash may be a student's treasure.
That's what the Office of Science Education is finding out in
its new Resource Program, which collects outdated scientific equipment
from NIH labs to use in educational outreach. This equipment will
be part of the teaching tools used by NIH scientists who volunteer
to go into the classroom and work with students and teachers in
grades K-12. Items that are in particular demand are microscopes,
mini-gel boxes, power sources, small centrifuges, balances, and
glassware. The equipment should be in working condition. For more
information, contact Gloria Seelman (phone: 496-0608; fax: 402-3034;
