Atlanta will be the site of the spring meeting of the American Chemical Society. More than 400 technical sessions covering a wide variety of topics have been scheduled by 27 ACS divisions, 10 ACS committees, and the Macromolecular Secretariat. These sessions reflect the broad range of research interests and professional, educational, and social concerns of modern chemists. Included among the sessions are ones on advances in coal characterization sponsored by the Analytical Chemistry Division; molecular structure and biological function of carbohydrates and polysaccharides by Carbohydrate Chemistry; state of the art for chemical educators: polymer chemistry by Chemical Education; OSHA cotton dust standards, and reproductive hazards in the workplace, both sponsored by Chemical Health & Safety; physicochemical properties of colloidal particles by Colloid & Surface Chemistry; treatment of water by granular activated carbon by Environmental Chemistry; advances in flue gas desulfurization by Industrial & Engineering Chemistry; electron distributions and the chemical bond by Inorganic Chemistry; hightemperature chemistry by Physical Chemistry; and professional liability problems faced by independent labs by Small Chemical Businesses. A first-time event will be a presidential symposium on Tuesday, March 31, on prudent practices for hazardous chemicals in laboratories. A complete listing of all symposia is on the following pages.
Divisions, other groups are offering diverse technical program Council Committee on Membership Affairs One of a continuing series, symposium on retirement is aimed not only at retired members but those who are making preliminary plans for retirement. Program includes in-depth treatment of financial and estate planning for retirement. Younger Chemists Committee Forum on What a Chemist Needs to Know—Other Than Chemistry explores job functions, skills these functions may require, and mechanisms the student and practicing chemist can use to develop these skills.
