  1. Bringing the Pharmachem Industry to schools ISTA Conference Mark Glynn Education Officer, IPCMF March 2003

  2. Facts & Figures

  3. Taskforce on Physical Sciences • Welcomed by IPCMF in particular • Fast tracking of curriculum assessment + change • Upgrading of laboratory facility + resources • More practical work • Dedicated resources for promotion of science • Co-ordinated science promotion programme

  4. What can Industry do ? • Promote careers • Set up local liaison • Collaborate with educaitonalists • Provide employment • What can Government do ? • Implement taskforce report

  5. Science Industries • Pharmachem- long established / excellent track record in employment • Biopharmaceutical- a major growth sector • Healthcare - diagnostic assays / skincare / cosmetics • Medical device industry - significant growth potential

  6. Multi-national Companies • Leading Names : • Glaxo-SmithKline • Procter & Gamble • Pfizer • BMS • Merck Sharpe & Dohme • Hewlett Packard • Intel • IBM • Eli Lilly • Wyeth Medica • Schering Plough

  7. Science Careers - Chemistry • Lab assistant - Healthcare / • (Bio)Pharmaceutical / Food / Research etc. • Sales & Marketing National Cert. Science - Chemistry • Analysts - (QA/QC) • Validation Analyst • Sales & Marketing National Dip. in Science - Chemical Analysis • Senior Analyst - QA/QC • Team Leader / Supervisor - Quality / Production • Trainers • Secondary Teaching • Sales & Marketing B.Sc. - Applied Chemistry • QA/QC & Production manager • Product Development • R&D Officer • Academia (lecturer / R&D Fellow) • Sales & Marketing M.Sc. / Ph.D.

  8. *Chaired by Council Members Irish Pharmaceutical & Chemical Manufacturers Federation • Branch of IBEC • Represents Over 50 Pharmachem Companies

  9. IPCMF WORKING GROUPS • Education • Health and Safety • Good Manufacturing Practice • Human Relations • Environment • R & D - Just Established

  10. Education Officer Over 50 companies individual intiatives IPCMF member directory Web-site - free teacher/student resources Young Scientist Science festivals/camps TY module for science (in conjunction with TYCSS) IPCMF and the Education

  11. Web site - Teacher resources • Teaching Aids • Career Presentations • Science Demonstration procedures • Company information • Science information • Typical spend ranges from €100k - €300k

  12. Un/Labeled diagrams

  13. Li Na K Teaching Aids - e.g. Ionic radius going down the table Lithium (Li), 2 orbitals because it is in the 2nd row (period) of the Periodic table.3 electrons because the atomic number is 3. Distributed 2 in the first shell as there are 2 elements in the 1st row of the periodic table, and 1 in the 2nd shell Sodium (Na), 3 orbitals because it is in the 3rd row (period) of the Periodic table.11 electrons because the atomic number is 11. Distributed 2 in the first shell as there are 2 elements in the 1st row of the periodic table, and 8 in the 2nd shell as there are 8 elements in the 2nd row of the periodic table, and 1 in the 3rd shell Potassium (K), 4 orbitals because it is in the 4th row (period) of the Periodic table.19 electrons because the atomic number is 19. Distributed 2 in the first shell as there are 2 elements in the 1st row of the periodic table, and 8 in the 2nd shell as there are 8 elements in the 2nd row of the periodic table, and 8 in the 3rd shell as there are 8 elements in the 3rd row of the periodic table and 1 in the 4th shell

  14. TY Module • 25,000 students ( 70% of Schools) • No existing Science Modules • Different Modules • Collate existing materials - TYCSS, ISTA • Pilot schools • e-mail lessons
