Cesium
If you have time to watch this tomorrow, check it out! MSNBC is doing a spotlight on schools and this particular segment is focusing on Detroit Public Schools (DPS) and its current situation. Much of DPS is being turned over to charter schools with the hopes that the school system will pull itself out of the mud (most schools are failing and are running under capacity). And guess what? I'll be there!! So try and find me in the giant crowd of students, teachers, future teachers, politicians, and people who care about education!
Chemistry Joke: Q: What do you do with a dead chemist?
A: ??? (To be revealed tomorrow)
Fun Fact: Atomic clocks measure time using cesium-133 atoms. The clocks are so accurate that if the atomic clock in Boulder, CO had been built by dinosaurs 70 million years ago (imagine: T-Rex in a hard hat), it would be off by less than a second today!
