UFT Science Committee meeting

The UFT Science Committee focused on safety policy and procedures at its Sept. 18 meeting at UFT headquarters, a timely theme in the wake of science experiments involving methanol at a Reno children’s museum and at schools in Denver and New York City that went badly wrong in the past year.

Lew Malchick, the co-chair of the UFT Science Committee and a retired chemistry teacher, leads the meeting as physics and general science teacher Howard Spergel, of Midwood HS, looks on.
