ACS Program In A Box 2019!
This year's theme for the American Chemical Society's Program In A Box was Marvelous Metals organometallic chemistry! ACS invited two experts in organometallic chemistry, Professor Vy Maria Dong and Professor Thomas J. Meade, to discuss their research and answer questions during the live broadcast.
Professor Vy Maria Dong is a professor in UC Irvine that researches organometallic chemistry. Professor Dong discussed the importance of transition metals in organic chemistry and the types of reactions that make them useful. Examples of how transition metals are important in organic chemistry include palladium cross-coupling, stereo chemistry, and polymerization.
Professor Thomas J. Meade does research using molecular imaging at Northwestern Chemistry of Life Processes Institute. Professor Meade describes molecular imaging as the ability to visualize and investigate complex biochemical processes in their natural environment. This includes injected imaging agents, x-ray, ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging, and nuclear imaging.
After the live broadcast the prizes ACS sent in the box were raffled off. See some of the winners in the image above!
