* A scientific seminar was organized on 13/11/2019 by the Seminar Committee in the department , entitled "The search for Natural and Synthetic Anticancer Drugs", which was given by Prof. Mohammad Mubarak from University of Jordan-Chemistry Department.
* Department of Chemistry has organized a seminar on 3/11/2019 entitled "Chemistry and Industry in Jordan" given by Dr. Ahmad Abdo from "Vivid Separation and Filtration"
* The students of “Analysis in Industry” course (2nd semester 2018/2019) have performed their projects, which include analysis of some chemical species in real samples, using methods published in the literature.
Method validation is also made during and after the analysis, ending with a validation report for the used method.
Projects were:
Sodium in two kinds of chips
Tetrazine dye in powdered orange juice
Caffeine in Pepsi
Iron in green plants, vitamin mix, ands folic acid drug.
Copper in cow's liver
Calcium in powdered milk
Potassium in commercial orange juice
Paracetamol in Panadol

A New Highlight over a Jordanian scientific research at Berkeley Global Science Institute (BGSI), University of California-Berkeley.
As a result of BGSI's participation in the 2017 World Science Forum in Jordan, our global science center at King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals (KFUPM), led by Dr. Bassem A. Al-Maythalony, established collaborations with a team of Jordanian researchers, led by Dr. Abdussalam K. Qaroush, Dr. Ala'a F. Eftaiha, and Dr. Khaleel I. Assaf. Their collaboration resulted in a research article on carbon capture using a sugar-based absorbent. The team went to great lengths to detail the characterization of not only the material but also the mechanism behind capturing CO2.
Aside from the fascinating science, this report represents a concrete outcome of the power of research engagement through the global science network. We, at BGSI, are proud of this result.
