*The Science National Honor Society is proud to announce a special guest speaker Dr. Ngee Sing Chong, Professor of Chemistry, MTSU

Dr. Ngee’s special emphasis is analytical chemistry - an exciting branch of chemistry that uses chromatography, spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and microscopy. He oversees projects related to water quality, air pollution, industrial hygiene, drug abuse, explosive fluids, and post-mortem examinations. He will be speaking to us THIS FRIDAY at 3:15 in the Senior Cafeteria regarding the Chemistry of Blood in Forensic Investigations. If the mention of blood makes you queasy, you will be very uncomfortable for this speaker. Any student interested in blood, health science, biology or crime should make plans to attend. We hope to see you right after school this Friday in the Senior Cafeteria.
