The periodic table of chemical elements is one of the most significant achievements in science, and its discovery has significantly impacted the development of other scientific fields, as well as society as a whole. To mark the 150th anniversary since its development — and to celebrate its creator, Dmitri Mendeleev — the United Nations General Assembly and UNESCO have proclaimed 2019 as the International Year of the Periodic Table.
Kelvin Smith Library is joining the worldwide celebration by inviting the Case Western Reserve University community as well as area high school students to participate in the activities scheduled during the week of October 28 – November 1. The week will conclude with a reception on Friday, November 1st at 4PM. The reception will include a lecture on the history and significance of the periodic table by Professor Alan Rocke of the CWRU Department of History, followed by a reception.
