We’ve updated our event listings with some upcoming gatherings for both academic and industry scientists.

Also on the list: The American Chemical Society holds one of its biannual meeting in Boston beginning on August 22. (They’re calling it their “fall” meeting but we’ll ignore that as we try to keep summer rolling until Labor Day.)

The group describes itself this way:

“ACS is a congressionally chartered independent membership organization which represents professionals at all degree levels and in all fields of chemistry and sciences that involve chemistry.”

This year’s theme: “Chemistry for Preventing and Combating Disease.”

The sessions cover the spectrum, from chemical toxicology to business development. Also on the agenda – events for “women chemists of color” and LGBT chemists.
