CHICAGO AREA YOUNGER CHEMISTS
The Younger Chemists Committee of the Chicago Section of the American Chemical
Society was formed to help identify the needs and concerns of younger chemists
by developing programs responsive to their needs and to cultivate communication
and interaction all in a collegiate atmosphere in the Chicago Area.
The goals of the YCC are to
- Make the ACS relevant to younger chemists
- Increase involvement of younger chemists in the ACS at all levels
- Develop mechanisms to integrate younger chemists into the profession
You are a Younger Chemist if you are under the age of 35 or if you have been
in your chemistry career less than ten years. Academic and industrial chemists,
postdocs and students are all included!
If you are interested in YCC events – participating,
planning, volunteering – or if you would like to be on our mailing list
to receive notices of upcoming events, please contact our YCC Chair, Adam Thomas: adam.thomas@honeywell.com.
