24th ACS Middle Atlantic Regional Meeting The 24th ACS Middle Atlantic Regional Meeting will be held May 23-25 on the Madison Campus of Fairleigh Dickinson University in suburban Morristown, N.J., within a short commuting distance from New York City. It will be hosted by the ACS North Jersey Section. The formal program consists of some 250 papers, including symposia featuring invited speakers, contributed general and poster presentations, free tutorials, workshops, two awards symposia—the student undergraduate award and the research in chromatography award—and the awards presentation dinner. Bassam Shakhashiri of the National Science Foundation will deliver the awards dinner address, "Communicating Science." There will be 19 organized symposia in analytical chemistry, biochemistry, chemical education, and inorganic, medicinal, organic, physical, and polymer chemistry. These symposia will cover the specific topics of spectroscopic analysis, analytical pharmaceutical chemistry, drug metabolism, protein chemistry, advances in biotechnology, precollege and college chemical education, solid-state inorganic chemistry, coordination chemistry/organometallics, computer modeling and drug design, organometallics for organic synthesis, new organic synthetic methods, photochemistry and spectroscopy, functional polymers, polymer recycling, polymer rheology, degradable plastics, and polymer blends. In addition, two conferences, the Chromatography Topical Group and the Teachers Affiliates Conference, will be held. A special interest symposium, organized by Ned D. Heindel with eight invited speakers, will discuss "Life after the Big Company: Post-Retirement Opportunities for Chemists." Free tutorials in polymer chemistry, polymer characterization and properties, controlled drug delivery, computer-aided experimental design, microscale laboratory, and employment strategies will be conducted for applicants by special reservation. Three workshops on career planning, scientific writing, and laboratory safety will be available by advance

H. R. Bungay, J. S. Watson, Cochalrmen

The 12th Symposium on Biotechnology for Fuels 6x Chemicals will be held at the Riverside Motor Lodge, Gatlinburg, Tenn., May 7-11. The symposium is sponsored by the ACS Division of Biochemical Technology and governmental and industrial organizations. It brings together world leaders in the fields of biotechnology for fuels, chemicals, and biotechnological aspects of environmental control. Thirty-five invited oral presentations and more than 80 invited posters are scheduled. Advances in biotechnology continue to provide alternatives that will have an impact on the future economic production of fuels and chemicals. This symposium provides a forum for presentation of new research results and exchange of ideas. The chairman of the symposium is Elias Greenbaum; the cochairman is Charles E. Wyman. Early registration is encouraged be-
