Dear Gang,Is there any teacher in the vicinity of WRHS in Holden, MA, who can help this student out? I have tried several faculty at WPI and have not had any success.
If you can help Sean, please e-mail him directly and cc me. Thank you!

My teacher is Nicholas Guerin. For participation in this class it is a requirement to complete a year long research and experimentation project. I have chosen to do my experiment on the effects of varying amounts of iodine on the speed of production of aluminum isopropoxide. I have been told that I cannot carry out this experiment at Wachusett because of the extended time the iodine needs to catalyze the reaction as well as the experiment's instability if not carried out properly. However, to carry out this experiment, I need a laboratory with access to certain apparatus and a few vital chemicals. I would like to know if there was any way I could use WPI facilities for my chemistry project. If not, do you know anywhere else I could investigate for this possibility?
