The NAS Workshop for the Chemical Sciences Roundtable on “Innovations in Catalysis to Address Modern Challenges” will be a hybrid meeting (in-person and virtual) in Washington DC. It will be held October 24-25.
In addition to a topically diverse set of speakers, the Workshop is seeking submissions from the catalysis community on short 3-minute presentations from researchers (students, post-docs, research scientists, principal investigators, etc.) related to their cutting-edge work in catalysis. Abstracts are due Wednesday Oct 5th.
For more information on the agenda, registering for the free event, and how to submit an abstract for the short presentation, please see: https://www.nationalacademies.org/event/10-24-2022/innovations-in-catalysis-to-address-modern-challenges-a-workshop.
Congratulations to Dr. Aaron Sattler (ExxonMobil Technology & Engineering Company), the recipient of the 2022 ACS Division of Inorganic Chemistry Early Career Industrial Investigator Award. This award recognizes Aaron’s research on mechanistic C-H bond activation and H/D exchange, advancing research on catalysis and materials development for applied industrially relevant processes, such as alkane dehydrogenation.
The Division of Inorganic Chemistry of the ACS and the Inorganic Reaction Mechanisms Group of Dalton (RSC) are pleased to announcement a joint virtual seminar series highlighting the latest advances in mechanisms. These seminars will be held throughout the year with one representative from each society. The inaugural seminar will be held on 24 May 2022 and we are delighted that Max Garcîa-Melchor (Trinity College) and John Anderson (University of Chicago) have agreed to speak. Please join us for this event!

To honor the 2022 ACS National Award recipients in the field of inorganic chemistry, the IONiC VIPEr community has prepared a collection of teaching materials to help you feature the works of these outstanding scientists in your classroom. The collection includes problem sets, literature discussions, a slide tutorial, and an in-class activity. The title of each learning object includes the name of the awardee. Members of the DIC community are welcome and encouraged to add to the collection. Contact Hilary Eppley (heppley@depauw.edu) or Shirley Lin (lin@usna.edu) for more information on how to submit to VIPEr and add to the collection.
