ACS New Orleans 2008
by mitch on Jan 18 2008 (1897 Views)It’s that time again to start planning for Spring ACS. I will be attending and looking forward to meeting whoever else would like to do the usual “meet-up”. The meet-ups are generally very successful and always entertaining.
I will be presenting on Monday in the chemical education section in the oral symposium titled “Using Social Networking Tools to Teach Chemistry”, along with 2 other colleagues from my group. The symposium looks quite good, we’ll have Jean-Claude Bradley from Drexel, and a spattering of Nature, RSC and Chemistry Central people. Robert Belford will likely talk too, probably on his work with wiki-hyperglossaries if I had to guess. If anyone ever wondered where chemistry and the internet will intersect in the next 5-10 years this will likely be the symposium not to miss.
If you will be attending the conference and would like to meet, drop a line in the comments section. I’ll post details on where the meet-up as the conference draws near. Likely, Paul will be there as well once he returns from his self-imposed exile.

Indeed – it should be an interesting symposium and an opportunity to catch up with everybody.
I will be there.
I believe I am cited as the Co-Author in the symposium Dr.Belford is giving, actually. Just tonight I finished a script and I integrated over 500 “wiki words”, which there is over 10,000 words of information in those “wiki words”. It is a database on Atmospheric Chemistry, from Dr.Chasteen at Sam Houston University. Hopefully this week or weekend I will finish the other major feature that is needed, as we now have content. But suffice it to say, he/we now have plenty of content to give a good presentation. I have a “poster” session sometime Monday as well. I will probably work on it the weekend before! heh
