Teaching - our life, our future
As the International year of chemistry begins, acting editor Laura Howes reflects on what's to come
Welcome back, I hope you had a good break and that you haven't yet broken too many New Year's resolutions. The International Year of Chemistry (IYC 2011) has now begun, with the theme 'Chemistry - our life, our future' and over the next 12 months I hope that Education in Chemistry can help you to teach your pupils and students just how vital and relevant chemistry still is.
However, I don't just want this to be a one way communication. If we publish something you like, tell us. If you disagree with our views, write a letter. As the landscape of teaching changes, EiC will have to change with it. We have to continue to support you and more than ever we as a community need to work together. At the end of this editorial is a list of ways in which you can interact with us, and in the next issue we will be publishing a readers' survey. The assistant editor David will be attending the ASE conference at the University of Reading in January; he wants to hear your views as much as I do.
