The October meeting of the CMC will meet Saturday, October 18th
(Please Note The Date Change), at 7:30 PM at the Salvation
Army Building on Clinton Street in Concord, NH. The program will
be on "Minerals of St. Lawrence County, NY". The obvious display
theme for this month is New York Minerals. The speaker will be Dr.
Steven C. Chamberlain. Born in 1946 in Everett, PA. He is a Professor of
Bioengineering and Neuroscience and Affiliate Professor of Earth
Sciences, Syracuse University.
Steve received a degree in electrical engineering and a minor in
mineralogy at MIT and finally his Ph.D. at Syracuse University in
systems neuroscience (Sensory Sciences). He was the former Chair of
Department of Bioengineering and Neuroscience and former Dean of College
of Engineering and Computer Science. He currently is convening
co-chairman of the Rochester Mineralogical Symposium and has been for
the last 17 years of it’s 30 year history. He is the acting coordinator
for the Center for Mineralogy at the New York State Museum where you
will find several of his specimens on display. He is also Consulting
editor for Rocks and Minerals which has published several of his
articles. Steve’s research interests include vision in horseshoe crabs
and hydrothermal vent shrimp, mineral biogenesis, and the topographic
mineralogy of New York State. Other obsessions include opera,
photography, and growing hostas, he is the Scientific Director the
American Hosta Society. Steve’s real claim in his own words are "bald,
fat, talks too much! Can’t go mineral collecting without getting
filthy!" With that said, he has found time to talk to the Club. You will
enjoy his humor and presentation.
Refreshment’s will be provided by Jon Herndon.
