FINAL PROGRAM
239TH ACS NATIONAL MEETING SAN FRANCISCO, March 21–25 THE CITY OF San Francisco and all it has
to offer are icing on the cake as the setting for the American Chemical Society’s 239th national meeting. The ACS president, 31 technical divisions, and seven committees will host original programming in 929 half-day oral sessions and 132 poster sessions. Approximately 12,000 papers were submitted, the largest number ever for an ACS national meeting. From well-known attractions such as Fisherman’s Wharf, Chinatown, and Alcatraz to less known activities such as City Segway Tours, Local Tastes of the City Tour, and Urban Safari, San Francisco is a city that offers a wealth of fun and interesting places to visit. ACS President Joseph S. Francisco is focusing events on four areas with an underlying global perspective: education, innovation, employment, and partnerships. With “Chemistry for a Sustainable World” as the theme for this meeting, the Kavli Foundation Sustainable Energy Symposium will be held on Monday, March 22, from 8 AM to 1 PM in Moscone Center.

ACS Office of Professional Education is offering two exciting courses in their acclaimed Lecture/Laboratory Series in 2010 both held at Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, Virginia and taught by distinguished faculty.
ACS Lecture/Laboratory Series 2010
“
This course is a must for everyone working in the polymer area. The professors were very thorough. They are true experts in the area and have perfected this short course to suit a diverse (background) audience. The course provided me with a fundamental understanding of polymer science. Ramki Subramanian, Chemical Engineer, Independent Ink
In Polymer Chemistry: Principles and Practice, attendees will receive handson training in diagnosing and solving their polymer R&D problems in both a classroom and laboratory setting. The course is being held three times in 2010: Sunday − Friday, March 14-19; August 8-13; December 5-10. Fundamentals of Polymers and Interfaces for Adhesives, Composite, and Sustainable Structures offers participants the opportunity to catch up on late-breaking developments and obtain solutions to their adhesives and composites problems in both a classroom and laboratory setting. This course is only held once in 2010: Sunday − Friday, September 26-October 1.
Both courses are strictly limited to 30 participants - don’t delay, register now at www.ProEd.acs.org. American Chemical Society
