HE 225TH NATIONAL MEETING

of the American Chemical Society will be held in New Orleans and will feature 30 of the society's technical divisions, three secretariats, and seven committees participating in more than 800 technical sessions. More than 8,500 papers will be presented. Concentrated programming infiveareas has been identified for this meeting. In the technical summary that begins on the next page, symposia that fall within these themes are identified by a symbol that immediately precedes the session title. Asymbol key appears throughout the program. A highlight of the presidential events will be held in the Audubon Aquarium of the Americas, on Sunday, March 23, from 3:30 to 5:30 PM. Meeting attendees and the public are welcome to "Celebrating Chemistry: Kids & Chemistry LIVE!";

there, volunteer members, student affiliates, and ACS staff will conduct demonstrations and hands-on activities that illustrate the importance and prevalence of chemistry in everyday life. Other presidential events will feature symposia and poster sessions celebrating the 10th anniversary of the Committee on Minority Affairs (CMA). Cecil B. Pickett, president of Schering-Plough Research Institute, will be the guest speaker at the CMA luncheon; ACS Scholars and Project SEED students will present poster papers at the evening reception and poster session. After Tuesday evening's ACS awards dinner, Edwin J. Vandenberg will deliver the Priestley Medal Address. "Nawlins"—the city ofjazz, cajun food, languid gardens, and bayous—provides abundant destinations for day or evening tours for those who are inclined. As always, opportunities for continuing education are offered through ACS short courses, ACS divisional and other workshops, Chemical Abstracts Service seminars,

and exposition workshops. The exposition itself will be located in Halls H/I-l of the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center and will be open Monday March 24, through Wednesday, March 26.

HIGHLIGHTS: ComSci's presidential programs will address two long-standing and important concerns for the scientific enterprise, of which chemistry is an integral part. The prospects for long-term research in the private sector will be addressed in two programs: "Funding Opportunities for Long-Term Research" and "Can the High-Tech Enterprise Grow without Long-Term Research: A Multisector Perspective." Industry leaders will discuss the implica tions of downsizing of well-known laboratories and what new kinds of institutions might respond to fundamental basic and applied re search needs. How the significance of science and engineering ad vances can be most effectively communicated to the public will be the subject of "Funnel Vision—The Role of the Media in Science Communication." This symposium will feature some of the most ef fective news writers, who will tell us what does and doesn't work in communicating science to the public.

HIGHLIGHTS: AGRO's program will be anchored by four major symposia and will include new and innovative analytical techniques in the general papers and poster sessions. One major symposium will introduce new techniques in multiresidue analysis using mass spec trometry. Another will cover the environmental, health, and efficacy of biologically derived and certified organic pesticides. The Young Scientists Recognition Award symposium will present the new work of young scientists in the agrochemical area. Two major award ad dresses will be given at this meeting. A symposium honoring Robert M. Hollingworth as the 2003 recipient of the ACS International Award for Research in Agrochemicals will address insecticide mech anisms, their use in the development of pesticides, and their influ ence on risk assessment and regulation. AGRO will also honor the ACS national award winners for team innovation from DuPont.

Division of Analytical Chemistry HIGHLIGHTS: The program will provide comprehensive discus sions on allergens—their detection, mechanisms of action, impact on food production, and impact on consumers. Papers on immuneenhancing foods will address the potential for foods to provide healthful benefits beyond simple nutrition. Red wine pigments and their impact on wine stability and wine processing will be discussed. The ability of some natural materials to act as pest control agents will be described in papers on semiochemicals. Papers on agricultur al by-products will describe methods for making use of agricultural materials that were left for waste in the past. A series of papers by graduate students competing for the annual A G F D Graduate Student Award will round out the program.

The ongoing problems associated with mer cury-containing equipment, mercury exposures, and mercury expo sure assessment will be discussed in "The Health Hazards of Mercury: An Ongoing Problem." We will present information on the emerging safety and fire-code issues associated with novel solvent-drying sys tems in 'Alternatives to Thermal Distillation Solvent Purification." Finally, in the PDA Boot Camp, a variety of experts will give attendees the information they need to move beyond phone numbers and ap pointments and use PDAs to manage chemical safety information.

HIGHLIGHTS: Several sessions will be of interest to librarians and academic informaticians: A new series/'Librarian Watch," will kick off with "Introduction to New Hot Areas in Chemistry" followed by "Chemical Information Literacy: Is It Affordable?" Both sessions will be cosponsored by CHED. Two sessions on electronic publications will be presented. Patent informatics is covered in two sessions: "Patent Searching for Nonexperts" will almost be a tutorial for those who are in terested in learning this art. Intriguing papers on patent informatics will be presented at the "Michael O'Hara Memorial Symposium." Diverse and multidisciplinary topics in cheminformatics will be presented.
