North Carolina Section American Chemical Society 1999 Local Section Conference

Program

The program for the 113th NC-ACS Local Section Meeting features 78 submitted papers (33 oral and 45 poster presentation) divided into eight sessions. The oral and poster presentations will both take place between 8:20 am and 11:40 am. Immediately following the morning scientific program there will be a General Session where the NC Local Section will present the 1999 Marcus E. Hobbs Award, will recognize our local section's 50 and 51 year ACS members, and will recognize other 1998 award winners. The General Session will conclude with the 1999 NC Distinguished Chemist Lecture presented by Prof. Louis DuBose Quin, James B. Duke Professor Emeritus. Lunch will follow the NC Distinguished Lecture.

INSTRUCTIONS TO PRESENTERS

Please send program corrections to program chair (sturgeon@niehs.nih.gov). Also, if you know that you will NOT be joining us for lunch please let the program chair know so that we can plan accordingly.

Oral Presentations: It is a professional courtesy to speak within your allotted time. All oral presentations will be 20 minutes; preferably a 15-minute presentation with 5 minutes for questions. The presider of the session will coordinate the session. Each room will be equipped with an overhead projector, a 35 mm slide projector and a solid pointer; if you prefer a light pointer please bring your own. There will be a designated "speaker" area (Room 220) where you can make sure your slides are positioned correctly. Please try and bring your slides in a carousel.

Poster Presentations: Poster presenters are requested to be at their poster(s) during the session "discussion times" (see the program). Poster boards will be set up in the Kenan Lobby. The poster boards will be labeled with your poster numbers and session abbreviation (e.g. 21-ANYL). Poster boards are 4 feet x 5 feet; please bring tacks. Have your poster up by 8:30 am and please leave it up until after lunch.

DIRECTIONS/PARKING
