Dear ACS San Diego Members,
September marks the beginning of a busy and exciting fall for our local section. As
summer comes to a close, we look forward to gathering together again, celebrating the
accomplishments of our members, and continuing to build opportunities for scientific
exchange, outreach, and connection within our chemistry community.
Dear ACS San Diego Members,
August is always a special time for our local section. As summer begins to wind down, it gives us an opportunity to reflect on what we have accomplished so far this year while looking ahead to a busy fall filled with science, outreach, and opportunities to reconnect with our chemistry community.
Dear members,
This July, as the U.S. celebrates its 250th anniversary, we reflect on a proud national legacy of scientific discovery. In San Diego, that collaborative spirit thrives across our academic, biotech, and pharma communities. The ACS San Diego Section remains dedicated to fostering these vital connections and supporting the next generation of chemical scientists.
Dear ACS San Diego Members,
As we turn the calendar to September, the fall season brings cooler days, new opportunities, and a chance to reflect on the history of our science. On September 28th, 1928, Alexander Fleming made the serendipitous observation of Penicillium notatum mold inhibiting bacterial growth—an insight that sparked the antibiotic revolution. Discoveries like this remind us how chemistry continually changes lives in profound ways.
Hello ACS San Diego Members,
Summer is nearly upon us here in San Diego, and with it comes fresh opportunities to connect, learn, and celebrate chemistry together. June is not only a time of transition but also a month rich with historical milestones in our field.
Dear valued members, As I welcome you into the month of August, I am sure many have recently returned from summer trips and/or are preparing themselves for fall semesters to begin. For those returning to studies or those who are entering…
Dear esteemed members,
I hope this message finds you all in great spirits and with a sense of fulfillment from our recent endeavors. I’d like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to all the incredible volunteers who dedicated their time and effort to make our recent participation in the annual Creek to Bay Cleanup, hosted by I Heart and Clean San Diego, a success! I would especially like to thank, Juan Gonzalez-Gonzalez for being a stellar leader in conducting our ACS group at the Mission Valley site of the clean up. Over in Chula Vista, my group successfully planted more than 50 Chollas cacti, a native plant to the Otay region that is also the preferred home of the endangered cactus wren.
