Chemical information provider Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS), a division of the American Chemical Society, has announced the 2013 SciFinder Future Leaders in Chemistry programme participants. Since 2010, the program has been dedicated to providing Ph.D. students – and for the first time this year, postdoctoral researchers – from around the world an opportunity to help shape the future of chemical information.
The students and researchers selected will attend the 246th ACS National Meeting & Exposition in Indianapolis, Ind., as part of their eight-day immersion with scientists, editors and staff of CAS and ACS Publications. Participants will also travel to Columbus, Ohio, to get a behind-the-scenes look at how the CAS databases are built and maintained, discuss challenges in scientific information, share feedback with SciFinder developers, and tour local centers of innovation and technology, such as TechColumbus, Battelle Memorial Institute and The Ohio State University.
The students and postdocs will join thousands of chemistry professionals to learn about 'Chemistry in Motion' in Indianapolis at one of the most respected scientific gatherings in the world. Above all, the SciFinder Future Leaders in Chemistry get a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to exchange ideas and network with peer scientists from around the world.
The 246th ACS National Meeting & Exposition will showcase contemporary research and future technologies that will transform the transportation industry in the 21st century.
