The Polymer Chemistry Lectureship webinar will be held on August 17th at 19:00 BST (1:00 PM CT) and feature talks from Prof. Brett Fors (Cornell University) and Prof. Emily Pentzer (Texas A&M University).
Register here to attend the webinar and hear from these fantastic speakers! If you aren’t able to attend live, just register as well and a recording will be sent to you after the event.
With the announcement of the RSC Desktop Seminar Lectureship Series, we are proud to highlight the American scientists that have been selected. The outstanding scientific work conducted by the journal lectureship award winners will be featured at a series of free, virtual seminars, with the 2022 RSC Desktop Seminar Lectureship Series beginning soon. Each session will highlight two scientific talks from either two recent lectureship award winners, or one recent winner and a journal board member.
The full Lectureship Series details can be found on the RSC Publishing blog, but we would like to especially spotlight those seminars with American scientists:
Biomaterials Science Lectureship
Wednesday, July 20th, 1:00 PM EST
Natural Product Reports Emerging Investigator Lectureship
Thursday, July 21st, 8:00 AM EST

Recently, Nanoscale presented their 2022 Emerging Investigators collection, highlighting the rising stars of nanoscience and nanotechnology research. All the contributors were recommended by experts in these fields, and each have demonstrated work with the potential to shape the future of nanoscience and nanotechnology.
Follow the links below to read some of the very best work from these nanoscientists early in their independent career. Congratulations to all of the featured researchers on their important work to the field so far!

The Analyst Emerging Investigator Lectureship, JAAS Emerging Investigator Lectureship, and Lab on a Chip & Dolomite Pioneers of Miniaturization Lectureship awards have opened their nominations. These awards recognize researchers whose work has made significant contributions to the various fields of chemistry covered in the scope of the respective journals.
Each award recipient will receive the opportunity to present their work at a leading international conference, with a monetary contribution toward their associated travel and accommodation. The nomination period for all three awards is open until July 31st, 2022.
For more details on each award, see below.
Analyst Emerging Investigator Lectureship
Nominees must be at an early stage of their independent professional career (within ~10 years of completion of their Ph.D.) and have made a significant contribution to the progress of analytical chemistry. The winner will be selected by a panel of Analyst Editorial Board members and will receive up to £2,000 to cover travel to present a lecture at an international conference.
JAAS Emerging Investigator Lectureship
Nominees must be at an early stage of their independent professional career (within ~10 years of completion of their Ph.D.) and have made a significant contribution to the progress of atomic spectrometry. The winner will be selected by a panel of JAAS Editorial Board members and will receive up to £2,000 to cover travel to present a lecture at an international conference.
Lab on a Chip & Dolomite Pioneers of Miniaturization Lectureship
Nominees must be at an early-mid stage of their independent professional career (within ~15 years of completion of their Ph.D.) and have made a significant contribution to the progress of miniaturized systems. The winner will be selected by a panel of Lab on a Chip Editorial Board members and a representative from Dolomite. and will receive up to $3,000 to cover travel to present a lecture at µTAS.
We are pleased to introduce three new RSC journals: EES Catalysis, RSC Sustainability, and Sustainable Food Technology.
All three journals are gold open access, and will have their article processing fees (APCs) waived until mid-2025, so you can publish your research openly without cost. Submissions will open for each journal in Summer 2022.
Click the images below to find out more information about each journal and to stay up to date with their developments as they move forward.
The accuracy and quality of chemical science literature is only possible through the hard work of dedicated reviewers. We would like to thank all those who have contributed to the peer review process this past year, and especially recognize those from the Americas selected as Outstanding Reviewers. These reviewers have been chosen based on the number, timeliness, and quality of reports completed over 2021.
For a full list of the Outstanding Reviewers of 2021 from over 130 countries, please click here.
Update: The webinar on Thursday, March 24th has been cancelled due to exceptional circumstances. We apologize for any inconvenience. However, the webinar on Tuesday, March 29th will occur as scheduled.
The first issue of Digital Discovery is coming soon, and to mark the occasion we are excited to announce two desktop seminars.
