Goldcamp
WILMINGTON Dr. Michael Goldcamp will represent Wilmington College as its 2020 Teaching Excellence Award winner at the 33rd annual Celebration of Teaching virtual event sponsored by the Greater Cincinnati Collegiate Connection (GC3) on Tuesday, Dec. 15.
A professor of chemistry and faculty member since 2003, Goldcamp will be honored along with award recipients from the GC3’s 16 other member institutions.
He earned his doctorate in inorganic chemistry from the University of Cincinnati in 2002 and spent a year as a National Research Council Postdoctoral Fellow at the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH/CDC) working in the field of developing methods for monitoring workplace environments for exposures to hazardous metals.
A plan by the Centers for Disease Control to develop an underground safety research center on a 461-acre tract straddling the Randolph-Pocahontas county line now faces opposition from the Pocahontas County Commission and several neighboring landowners, including Snowshoe Mountain Resort.
The plan came to public attention in June 2018, when the CDC published notices in area newspapers announcing its intention to conduct a draft environmental impact survey on the property, located just east of U.S. 219 near the Pocahontas County community of Mace. CDC personnel also hosted a scoping meeting later that month in Slatyfork to share their plans for the property with area residents, and respond to their concerns.

A study conducted on 36 masks, from 12 KN95 brands, by a team of medical experts from the University of Cape Town found none of them met stipulated safety requirements.
Eight of the brands had identifiable manufacturer details, only one was on the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) approved list, and the mask type and manufacturing details were printed on only two of the 12 brands as per NIOSH and EU regulatory requirements.
