ACS Philadelphia 2008: Hello sunshine!

Hello everybody! Welcome to sunny Philadelphia, where I will be updating you on all the gossip from the American Chemical Society meeting.

So far i can report blue skies, hot sunshine and a summery feeling in the air. Lovely. Can I also recommend jet lag for any of you who have to get up and go to work early. Although it's not so good if you actually need to concentrate.

BREAKING NEWS:
this year, i am pleased to report that following years of disappointment, members of the press have been given drinks tickets for the poster session. That's going to save my dignity for once.

Check back for regular updates and news. Apart from the usual bumper crop of recent chemical advances It's also time to reflect, being a centennial year for the organic chemistry, physical chemsitry, agriculture and food chemistry, and industrial and engineering chemistry divisions.
