2008: Andrew Burgie, from New York University, was awarded the 2008 Golden Seed for his extraordinary involvement in community outreach. Among Andrew's many accomplishments are the incorporation of industrial hygiene into the science curriculum for multiple outlets, including preparation courses for the NY State Regent's exam in chemistry and a course on environmental monitoring for the "Building Works" program, which he himself teaches.
