David Read reports some of the many highlights of the Biennial Conference in Chemical Education (BCCE) meeting

I’d heard from others that the Biennial Conference on Chemical Education was an amazing event, but I hadn’t quite grasped its magnitude. Over 1500 delegates descended on Grand Valley State University in Michigan for a series of action packed symposia and workshops in early August. I was one of several British delegates in attendance, four of us being grateful recipients of an ‘Activating Research’ travel bursary from the Education Division of the RSC.

David Read details his experience at the BCCE, discussing the highlights from each day.

Thanks for using Education in Chemistry. You can view one Education in Chemistry article per month as a visitor.
