of the American Chemical Society, which will be held in New % r k City, will feature 31 of the society's technical divisions, one secretariat, and six committees participating in more than 800 technical sessions. More than 6,800 papers will be presented. Presidential events will take place almost every day throughout the meeting, beginning on Sunday with a symposium in honor of the 125th volume oï the Journal of the American Chemical Society that features notable chemists who have published in the journal. A party follows this event to celebrate J^4GS's achievements together with the 80th birthday of Chemical & Engineering News. Other presidential events will feature symposia on Monday on topics covering opportunities in bio and pharma areas, the chemistry of global climate change, and green chemistry OnTuesday a symposium

and panel discussion will focus on Project SEED's 35 years of success, followed by a reception where the contributions of longtime mentors and coordinators will be recognized. Also onTiiesday the Society Committee on Education and the Division of Chemical Education will explore a vision of chemical education that reflects the content and practices of modern chemistry Thursday's final presidential event—on the anniversary of Sept. 11, 2001—features a symposium that will explore current homeland security issues and threats that should be addressed with chemical expertise. Attendees can sign up for a variety of tours that will take them, for instance, to Central Park, Harlem, the Cloisters, Times Square, ethnic neighborhoods, a ferry to Ellis Island, and even across the Brooklyn Bridge—though not all at once. As always, N E C H will provide avenue for members and employers to meet and discuss job opportunities. Career development programs and workshops as well as opportunities for continuing education are offered through the Career Resource

Center and through ACS divisional and other workshops, Chemical Abstracts Service seminars, and exposition workshops. The exposition itself will be located in Halls IB and 1C of the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center and will be open Monday and Tuesday, 9 AM to 5 PM, and Wednesday 9 AM to 2 PM. More than 290 companies and organizations will display everything from instruments and books to computer hardware and scientific software.

PRELIMINARY PROGRAM unique perspectives as well as practical information. The Chemistry of Global Climate Change, 8:30 AM to 2:45 PM, organized by the Committee on Science. The prospect of global climate change with attendant adverse consequences, resulting from human activity such as fossil fuel combustion, is a matter of great current concern. Climate science leaders from universities, government, industry and nongovernment organizations will offer their views on the current state of climate science, modeling, and greenhouse gas measurements; coupling between climate change and atmospheric chemical cycles involving ozone, aerosols, and oxidizing radicals; and technology options for energy production in a "greenhouse constrained" world. Both technical and policy aspects will be considered, including the viewpoint from developing countries. The symposium concludes with a panel discussion on communication and perception of this complex set of issues among the public, students, and policymakers.

MEETING INFO ON THE WEB Advance registration and housing forms as well as other information about the ACS national meeting in New York is available on the ACS Meetings home page at http://chemistry.org/meetings/ newyork2003. tion will follow, during which the committee will recognize the contributions of longtime mentors and coordinators.
