125 years of innovative breakthroughs in chemistry and chemical engineering that have transformed our world
TECHNOLOGY MILESTONES A s the Presidents of the American Chemical Society in 2000 and in 2001, Dr. Daryle H. Busch and Dr. Attila E. Pavlath want your help t o enhance the public image of chemistry. In 2001, the ACS will honor its 125th anniversary and a new century. This special opportunity will allow us t o highlight the major technological breakthroughs in chemistry and chemical engineering that have improved the quality of life through the last 125 years.
Get involved! Shape public awareness of chemistry's contributions to our world.
Celebrate the importance of chemistry t o our lives Our Technology Milestones project will highlight the role of chemical science in society's remarkable progress since 1876. Educational materials for the general public and a Fall 2001 event will increase public awareness of chemistry's role in developing the innovative technologies that have improved our modern world.
