    Session: ACS Leadership Development Workshop: Involving Volunteers
    Sunday, May 18, 2008: 8:00 AM-12:00 PM
    Library Building, Rm LB-8 (Queensborough Community College)
    ACS Leadership Development Workshop: Involving Volunteers
    One of the greatest challenges facing a volunteer leader is recruiting and engaging volunteers to help accomplish the project/team/committee goals. What�s more, is that a good leader recognizes that engaging volunteers is more involved than signing people up to work on a project. It requires leaders to understand what help is needed, what skills and talents are required to accomplish the project and what form of motivation will truly excite the volunteer to commit to the project. This hands-on, four-hour course will provide ACS leaders with practical tools they need to engage a volunteer in a way that makes the assignment successful and professionally rewarding, so the volunteer will be inclined to participate in future, more ambitious assignments.

    Session: ACS Leadership Development Workshop: Leading Change
    Sunday, May 18, 2008: 1:00 PM-5:00 PM
    Library Building, Rm LB-8 (Queensborough Community College)
    ACS Leadership Development Workshop: Leading Change
    Almost any initiative today in the workplace or within an ACS committee or project team involves change. It could be a change in priorities and direction, people, or goals and objectives. And, with change often comes resistance. It is not easy leading amidst change. It requires leaders to help local section and technical division volunteers, national committee members and regional meeting volunteers move through change by confronting reality, connecting with the vision of the future, designing a new approach, and engaging others to take the steps to move the project ahead. This four-hour course provides leaders with a step-wise process to lead change and guide volunteers more effectively through the change process for greater results and efficiency. Participants will gain a skill that can be used daily in both volunteer leadership roles as well as in your profession.

    Analysis of Biomolecules
    Advances in proteomics and genomics have led to a greater emphasis on the analysis and characterization of biomolecules such as phosphopeptides, monoclonal antibodies, proteins, and SiRNa. There are many analytical technologies available for the determination of the chemical purity, aggregation, physical characteristics, and conformational state of biomolecules as well as studying how the folding/stability of these biomolecules impact biological function. This symposium will discuss the current state of application of these technologies and strategies for analysis of biomolecules from both an academic and pharmaceutical perspective.

    H I V/ AIDS
    HIV/AIDS has many faces. On the research side there are new therapies to be invented. New drugs with new mechanisms are needed to beat the ever present threat of drug resistance. Vaccines and microbicides are still not on the market, and antiretroviral drugs that are on the market in western countries are still waiting to get the green light to be produced and made available in developing countries.

    Tuesday, May 20, 2008: 8:30 AM-12:00 PM
    Medical Arts Building, Rm M-136 (Queensborough Community College)
    HPLC Methods Development
    HPLC separations are accomplished when there are significant differences in the interactions of analytes with the stationary and mobile phases. There are numerous options that can be undertaken in accomplishing a successful separation with respect to choice of separation mode, mobile phase components, and particularly stationary phase. However, the availability of so many options can in itself be an encumbrance. This symposium will address current means to facilitate, expedite, and optimize both chiral and achiral separations including the use of high throughput screening methodology and the implementation of software optimization and peak tracking tools.

    Plenary Lecture II: Roald Hoffmann, Cornell University
    Diamond anvil cell and shock�wave technologies now permit the study of matter under multimegabar (i.e. several hundreds GPa) pressures. The properties of matter in this pressure regime differ drastically from those known at 1 atm. Just how different chemistry is at high pressure and the role that a chemical intuition for bonding and structure can have in understanding matter at high pressures will be explored in this lecture. I will discuss in detail an overlapping hierarchy of responses to increased density, consisting of (a) squeezing out van der Waals space (for molecular crystals); (b) increasing coordination; (c) decreasing the bond length of covalent bonds and the size of anions; and (d) an extreme regime of electrons moving off atoms and new modes of correlation. Examples of the startling chemistry and physics that emerge under such extreme conditions will alternate in this account with qualitative chemical ideas about the bonding involved.

    Medical Arts Building, Rm MC-28 (Queensborough Community College)
    Professional Analytical Chemists in Industry: What Does An Analytical Chemist Do?
    This Course begins with a discussion of the education requirements and salaries that an analytical chemist may expect in industry. The different roles (including scientific consultant, methods developer, and problem solver) of the industrial analytical chemist are explained. A majority of time is spent on problem solving, both the process and solving real-world problems. Students will learn a �framework� for approaching problems. Time will be available to ask questions on these topics and other related subjects. The Course Notebook includes supplementary material on finding a job, summer employment, etc. The entire course, especially the problem solving, is structured for extensive participation and interaction. It is intended primarily for undergraduate students, but all are welcome.

    Members of the Royal Society of Chemistry, friends, families and colleagues are invited to participate in an evening which will be instructive, entertaining and a chance to meet old and new friends. Prof. Yorke E. Rhodes of NYU will give the after dinner talk. All are welcome.
  • 6:00 PM Social Hour and Networking Reception, Open Bar
  • 7:00 PM Dinner
  • 8:15 PM "What's New In Astrochemistry?", Prof. Yorke E. Rhodes, New York University "If the physical world we know and the universe are described by the same Physics, i.e., if Physics is universal, is Chemistry also universal? Before 1960 that question was rarely raised. Yes, water, CO and CO2 were in Earth's atmosphere, around other planets, and even in spectra of some stars. The spectra were used to measure physical properties of the stars, and one didn't think of those molecules as chemistry. 50 years since Sputnik and with the explorations of the 1960's and on, what discoveries have been made! There are now known over 130 molecules off-earth - extra-solar, interstellar, intergalactic. Is the chemistry similar to Earth's? Three quarters of these molecules are what we would call organic - some are similar to earth chemistry, some exotic - all follow rules of structure/energy that we know. Many are different with unusual structures not found in our more temperate surroundings. Come see what's new and what we can predict."

    Science Building, Rm S-112 (Queensborough Community College)
    Synthesis of Complex Biologically Active Molecules
    Complex biologically active molecules have traditionally attracted the attention of synthetic chemists because they provide a showcase for new synthetic methodology, raise the necessity for analogs for biological studies, or simply present compelling synthetic challenges. This symposium will feature new technologies that enable the preparation of complex molecules as well as syntheses of specific molecular targets. Presentations from both academic and industrial research will provide an opportunity to compare the interests and strategies in these settings.
