Senior Chemists Coffee Tasting Social Event
The ACS-GHS Senior Chemists Committee was pleased to host a coffee tasting and social get-together on April 20th at Java Pura Coffee Roasters. Attendees had an enjoyable morning tasting regional coffees from Costa Rica, Ethiopia, and Sumatra, followed by conversation and lunch at Auntie Pesto's. The event was a great success!

Division of the History of Chemistry (HIST) Centennial
The Division of the History of Chemistry of the American Chemical Society (HIST) is 100 years old in 2022, and we have a present for you! HIST is the home within ACS for chemists interested in the history of their discipline. Among our activities are publication of a peer-reviewed journal in history of chemistry, the Bulletin for the History of Chemistry. In this anniversary year, we have prepared a special commemorative issue of the Bulletin, available electronically to anyone (open access). Prominent chemist historians and historians of chemistry were invited to contribute essays on the theme “Novel Insights in the History of Chemistry: Looking Back Yet Mostly Looking Forward.” We invite you to peruse this commemorative issue at: http://acshist.scs.illinois.edu/bulletin_open_access/bull22-vol47-1.php While you are there, check out 30 years of open-access issues of the Bulletin, which are free to all after a three-year window of access exclusively by HIST members and subscribers: http://acshist.scs.illinois.edu/bulletin_open_access/bull-index.php |
