Summer greetings!

These are busy, but very exciting days for us, and we are delighted to share with you these important updates.

We especially hope you will join us for the ASA 2019, our upcoming annual meeting at Wheaton College on July 19-22. Registration is open and the conference promises outstanding speakers, interesting parallel sessions, a poster session, and of course, many opportunities for fellowship and fun!

Joyfully in Christ,

Christians in Chemistry

Plans are well underway for the next gathering of our very informal group “Christians in Chemistry.” There were about 50 present for the last such ACS meeting in Orlando. At the ACS San Diego National Meeting, Lord willing, we will gather at 5:30 PM on August 26 for a one hour time of sharing. The location will be the Marriott Marquis San Diego Marina and room details to be announced soon. By no means required, but some of the folks attending will go out for dinner at an inexpensive nearby restaurant.
Suggestions welcome.

Two distinguished speakers will share for about 20 minutes each. The first is Robert Gilliard, gifted synthetic inorganic chemist and Assistant Professor of Chemistry at the University of Virginia, Charlottesville. Our second person sharing will be a distinguished theoretical chemist, Professor Peter Gill, of the University of Sydney, Australia. Please share with chemists who will be attending the ACS San Diego Meeting. Undergraduate and graduate students are warmly welcomed!

Any questions, please email Fritz Schaefer at ccq@uga.edu.
