"Chemistry is not dogma; it is evolving all the time," says Edward Wong. "When I was going to high school and college, you couldn't 'see' molecules. Now you can!"
"Go to" guy
For more than 25 years, Charlie Goodspeed has often been the "go to" guy for officials across New Hampshire. Of course, Goodspeed doesn't do all this himself. He enlists senior civil engineering students who need to complete a "capstone" experience before graduating.
