ACS' Core Value of Diversity, Equality, Inclusion & Respect









 




We believe in the strength of diversity in all its forms, because inclusion of and respect for diverse people, experiences, and ideas lead to superior solutions to world challenges and advances chemistry as a global, multidisciplinary science.

Opening Session

Macromolecular Chemistry: The Second Century
 
 
 
Professor Takuzo Aida
University of Tokyo
Supramolecular Polymerization: Its Significance and Applications
 
Professor Kristi S. Anseth
University of Colorado
Polymer Networks as Synthetic Extracellular Matrices: Biology in the 4th Dimension
 
Professor Anthony J. Ryan
University of Sheffield
Neofossils: Bio-based Plastics to Sequester CO2
 
The Kavli Lecture Series

The Kavli Foundation Emerging Leader in Chemistry Lecture
 
Professor César de la Fuente
University of Pennsylvania
Machine Biology for Infectious Diseases
 
Machines have the potential to outperform humans and revolutionize our world. In this talk, Professor César de la Fuente will describe efforts to use machines to develop computational approaches for antibiotic discovery, as well as low-cost rapid diagnostics.
 
The Fred Kavli Innovations in Chemistry Lecture
 
Professor Omar M. Yaghi
University of California, Berkeley
Discovery and Reticular Chemistry of Covalent Organic Frameworks
 
The synthesis of covalently-linked organic extended structures has been a long-standing objective. In this presentation, Professor Omar Yaghi will discuss the recent developments in making large single crystals of covalent organic frameworks (COFs), the first molecular weavings, greatly expanding the structural complexity of COFs through building high valency nodes, and water harvesting from desert air using COFs.
 
Registration for the virtual meeting will open mid-January and will remain open through the end of the meeting.

ACS Spring 2021 Registration Rates

Chemagination
The virtual Chemagination will occur on Saturday, June 12, in conjunction with the MARM 2021 meeting. The competition requires high school chemistry students to imagine that they are living 25 years in the future and have been invited to write an article for ChemMatters, a magazine for high school students that focuses on the role of chemistry in everyday life. The article will need to focus on the recent breakthrough or innovations in chemistry (and/or its applications) that have improved the quality of people’s lives today. In addition to writing an article, participants will need to design a cover for the ChemMatters and complete a questionnaire. If any students are interested in competing on the Lehigh Valley Local Section Level, see entry information on the Education/Awards page of this website.
