Successful poster sessions attract the crowds at ISACS13

Two lively poster sessions saw the room packed out at the recent ISACS13 meeting on “Challenges in Inorganic and Materials Chemistry”, held in Dublin. Over 120 posters were presented, attracting large crowds and yielding 5 winners.   

Katie-Louise Finney of Durham University, UK was awarded the first prize, sponsored by Chemistry World, for her poster on PARASHIFT proton magnetic resonance imaging and spectroscopy. She receives £250 and a Chemistry World mug.  

Katie-Louise Finney with Neil Withers (Chemistry World Features Editor)  L-R: Lily Dixon, Pierre Sutra, Jane Hordern (Chemical Science Deputy Editor), Paolo Pirovano 

Lily Dixon (University of Cambridge, UK), Pierre Sutra (Université de Toulouse, France) and Dariusz Matoga (Jagiellonian University, Poland) each received a Chemical Science Poster Prize, while Paolo Pirovano (Trinity College Dublin, Ireland) was awarded a Dalton Transactions Poster Prize.  

The runners-up all receive a certificate and a copy of ‘The Case of the Poisonous Socks’ from the Royal Society of Chemistry’s popular science collection.

Best of ISACS12 Challenges in Chemical Renewable Energy: See our photos on Facebook!

Suffering from post-ISACS12 withdrawal symptoms? Or did you miss it and want to see how it went? Have a look at our ISACS12 photos taken last 3-6 September, including those at the BBC World Service recording of The Forum with Daniel Nocera, Clare Grey, Carlos Henrique de Brito Cruz and Jim Watson, hosted by Quentin Cooper. We took some behind-the-scenes shots at the welcome reception and poster sessions, and you can meet the hardworking Royal Society of Chemistry Events team, as well.

View, share, and like this album now on our Chemical Science Facebook page! We’d love to hear from you– comments and tags welcome.  And make sure to Like our Facebook page, too!

BBC World Service Recording at ISACS12

Want to know what Daniel Nocera thinks about wirelessly beaming energy from space? Over the coming weekend, the BBC World Service will be broadcasting an episode of The Forum, which was recorded at the RSC’s ISACS12 conference last week entitled “Challenges in Chemical Renewable Energy”.

Quentin Cooper hosts the programme in which Daniel Nocera of Harvard University, Clare Grey of the University of Cambridge, Carlos Henrique de Brito Cruz of the State University of Campinas and Jim Watson of the UK Energy Research Council discuss the work in their areas of expertise and future challenges for renewable energy as a whole.

The programme will be broadcast at 23.06 GMT on Saturday 14th September, 10.06 GMT on Sunday 15th September and 2.06 GMT on Monday 16th September. Find out when this is in your local time at: http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/programmeguide/.

It will also be available to listen on the iPlayer shortly after the broadcasts have finished and you will be able to hear it at http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p01g94yj.
