ACS Philadelphia 2008: Posters...
Last night was the poster session. It was late, I was jet-lagged, tired and emotional, but I dutifully showed up, if only to get my free beer. As ever this was a really well-attended event. It's impossible to see everything so I decided to pick some of my favourite titles for you to muse over. They show the amazing breadth of this meeting, and some of them actually make chemistry sound, well, really interesting.**
Impact of thermal and nonthermal processing techologies on quality of apple cider (one close to my heart)
Lanthanide pyrone and pyridone complexes for the treatment of bone density disorders
Measurement of the contact angle of a water droplet on a flat surface
Heavy metal accumulation by common garden plants: A chemical and spectroscopic approach
** I'm not saying that chemistry isn't interesting, by the way. I love chemistry, but sometimes it is hard to persuade others not involved in the field.
