Jeopardy!, one of North America’s leading syndicated game shows will feature questions related to the 2011 International Year of Chemistry (IYC) in an episode airing this summer.

With its 9 million daily viewers, Jeopardy! provides the perfect venue for publicizing the IYC’s message – one of celebrating chemistry and the contributions that it makes to society.

Be sure to tell your colleagues, friends and children to watch and test their knowledge of chemistry. The show will air on June 21, 2011, and can be seen in Canada on CBC Television at 7:30 p.m. EDT (please check your local listings for air times in your area).

The Chemical Institute of Canada is leading the Canadian activities in celebration of IYC. This is a combined initiative of the Canadian Society for Chemistry and the American Chemical Society.
