Title: NASC: bringing together supramolecular chemists from across North America
Early-career scientists need opportunities to present their research and to network. Within the supramolecular chemistry community, local conferences that provide such opportunities have arisen over the last few decades. However, a suitable conference in North America was still missing. In 2022, we therefore organized the first North American Supramolecular Chemistry (NASC) meeting to bring together supramolecular chemists from across the continent and to provide career building opportunities for PhD students and postdocs. For this Conference Proceeding, we asked some of the invited speakers, as well as the winners of the best talk prizes, to provide their opinion of the meeting and their vision on the future of supramolecular chemistry in North America.  more » « less

    The North American Supramolecular Chemistry (NASC) meetings were established 3 years ago to strengthen the supramolecular chemistry community in North America and to provide a platform for researchers at any stage of their career to present their work and allow network opportunities. NASC 2024 was the third edition of this annual conference and once again showcased the breadth of the field with talks on metal-organic cages and frameworks, anion binding, supramolecular chemistry in space, and many other topics. In this proceedings article, a selection of speakers provides their impression of the NASC 2024 meeting and the field of supramolecular chemistry.

    For this year’s career issue, LCGC North America teamed up with the American Chemical Society Subdivision on Chromatography and Separations Chemistry to ask the analytical chemistry community what skills new employees in the field need to succeed. In this report, we analyze the survey results and explore how they can inform the future of analytical chemistry curriculum development.

    ABSTRACT Microbiology conferences can be powerful places to build collaborations and exchange ideas, but for queer and transgender (trans) scientists, they can also become sources of alienation and isolation. Many conference organizers would like to create welcoming and inclusive events but feel ill-equipped to make this vision a reality, and a historical lack of representation of queer and trans folks in microbiology means we rarely occupy these key leadership roles ourselves. Looking more broadly, queer and trans scientists are systematically marginalized across scientific fields, leading to disparities in career outcomes, professional networks, and opportunities, as well as the loss of unique scientific perspectives at all levels. For queer and trans folks with multiple, intersecting, marginalized identities, these barriers often become even more severe. Here, we draw from our experiences as early-career microbiologists to provide concrete, practical advice to help conference organizers across research communities design inclusive, safe, and welcoming conferences, where queer and trans scientists can flourish.

    The American Institute of Biological Sciences (AIBS) is an umbrella organization of biological societies. In 2020, AIBS developed a plan to intentionally assess its current programs, as well as to develop and expand programs and policies to increase diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in the biological sciences. Therefore, AIBS decided, for the next 5 years, to focus its annual meeting of member societies and organizations, the AIBS Council Meeting, on topics related to DEI. In 2021, AIBS was funded by the National Science Foundation and received additional support from the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation for its expanded annual council meeting, Enabling Scientific Societies to Create Inclusive, Diverse, Equitable, and Accepting (IDEA) Environments. The IDEA conference was created to engage like-minded organizations committed to increasing diversity in the biological sciences. The conference consists of two meetings, an initial virtual 2-day meeting followed by a virtual 1.5-day workshop. The initial meeting included 27 scientific societies with representatives from five minority-serving scientific organizations. This meeting of the IDEA conference, held 4–5 November 2021, served as a call to action that would allow participants to come together to learn, plan, and strategize. This report provides details of the discussions around characteristics of IDEA environments, barriers to creating IDEA environments, strategies to overcome these barriers, and opportunities for action. The agenda can be found within the supplemental material.

    For three days, 300 attendees embodied the subject of groundwater by going underground in the Hyatt San Francisco Airport conference center. This unique conference at the intersections of science and policy, groundwater and agriculture, water quality, and water supply brought together people from over 30 countries and six continents. Groundwater is the lifeline for many rural and agricultural regions around the world. The conference created an opportunity for researchers and practitioners from a variety of agricultural and political systems to share their similar challenges, such as declining water tables, deteriorating water quality, and solutions, such as long-term monitoring and creative engineering. The meeting was a much needed expansion of the 2010 version of this conference. Presentations were expanded to four parallel tracks, and each of the three days was opened with a 2-hour plenary session. A luncheon keynote was given on the first day, and poster sessions were held on two evenings. The conference closed with a high caliber closing panel reflecting on the challenges and opportunities. If you missed the conference—or even if you were there, but missed seeing the other tracks—presentations and videos of more than half the presentations will be publicly available by early September 2016 at the conference website, http://ag-groundwater.org.
