If you are going to ACS New Orleans in just a couple of weeks then I hope to see you there. Stop by the booth and say hi or attend one of our many presentations listed below. There is a lot going on in our eScience team and we will be reporting on some of our latest efforts at the conference.
If you are arriving in on Saturday we would love you to attend the CINF gathering to discuss the future of the division. How to access, use, validate and integrate Chemical Information is such an important part of our everyday lives we want to ensure that the activities of the division support your needs and we are hosting this dinner in order to garner your input and engage you in discussion. The dinner is on Saturday from 6:30-9:30pm at Calcasieu Private Dining, 930 Tchoupitoulas St, New Orleans. Please contact me via email at tony27587 AT gmail DOT com to confirm you wish to attend so we have space.
We will also have a special guest at the ACS: Science Comedian Brian Malow. He will be the speaker at the CINF Luncheon AND will have a one hour session on communicating science. Details below. Please contact me directly if you want a ticket for the CINF Luncheon!
