Would your students like to use Facebook for science networking? Would you like them to? The link below goes to an article from the Journal of Chemical Education that describes the Elements on Facebook project which allows your students to support their favorite element.

This makes a great opportunity to engage students and the public in National Chemistry Week. We are having a contest to see which element is the most popular by the end of National Chemistry Week (October 24). Encourage each of your students to become a fan of their favorite element.
