Reflecting on #RSCPoster 2021

RSCPoster

#RSCPoster is a global Twitter Poster Conference, held entirely online over the course of 24 hours. The event brings together the global chemistry community to network with colleagues across the world and at every career stage, share their research and engage in scientific debate.

The 2021 #RSCPoster Twitter Conference was held on 2 March, and brought together 5,500 attendees with almost 900 presenters from 62 countries sharing their science to a potential audience of over 41 million.

 

Yi-Tao Long, Chemcial ScienceChemical Science Associate Editor Yi-Tao Long was subject chair for #RSCAnalytical – we caught up with him to get his thoughts on the event and some advice for next year.

“This is the first time I joined this #RSCPoster event and found it really impressive. It is a very good opportunity for early career researchers and graduate students to present their work” noted Yi-Tao.

“As an Associate Editor, I think the presentation and storyline are so important for a scientific paper. Of course, science is the most important, but being interesting and appealing to a broad community is also vital” explains Yi-Tao. This advice holds true for #RSCPoster too. Yi-Tao advises, “be clear and readable when presenting the work, this makes it easier for others to be interested, especially researchers in other fields.”

This year’s #RSCAnalytical prize winner, @kellybrown_94, is a great example of this point, as Yi-Tao mentions, “this poster caught my eye at first glance”.

The Chemical Science Symposium 2020 – An experiment in virtual conferencing and embracing digital platforms

At the end of September we held our annual symposium – the second in a new series of symposia that intend on bringing together researchers from a broad cross-section of the chemical sciences community. The theme and subtitle for this symposium was How can machine learning and autonomy accelerate chemistry? This symposia series, the first of which was held at our historic headquarters in Burlington House, London, has an ambition to enhance social networking between members of our research community while showcasing recent developments by a diverse set of international speakers. They also present an opportunity for our delegates to interact with our journal staff, Editorial Board members and learn more about how we are improving the peer review experience at Chemical Science – for example through our new submission system and article tracker.

Earlier this year, as the COVID pandemic began disrupting our way of life and pushing the community to adapt their dissemination routes and means to network, we took the decision to move our symposium to an online environment – a new experiment for both Chemical Science and the wider Royal Society of Chemistry. The programme was adapted to encourage engagement in this virtual setting while continuing to deliver some exceptional science from our invited speakers and contributing poster presenters. Overall, the result of this was a resounding success!

The presentations from our academia and industry-based speakers were very well received – with the following topics covered:

Yousung Jung KAIST, South Korea: Efficient exploration of solid state chemical space using machine learning
Graeme Day University of Southampton, UK: Building a computational engine to guide the autonomous discovery of molecular materials
Joshua Schrier Fordham University, UK: Autonomous materials discovery: promise, pitfalls, and progress
Jill Becker Kebotix, USA: Accelerating materials innovation: discovery of electrochromic materials for smart windows
Jacqueline Cole University of Cambridge, UK: Accelerating materials discovery with data mining and machine learning
Lee Cronin University of Glasgow, UK: The Chemical Oracle
Kerstin Thurow University of Rostock, Germany: Suitable automation systems for accelerating chemical research
María José Nieves Remacha Eli Lilly & Company, Spain: Autonomous chemical synthesis in flow for drug discovery

From left to right: Y. Jung, G. Day,  J. Schrier, J. Becker, J. Cole, L. Cronin, K. Thurow, M. J. Nieves Remacha

In addition to these talks we also held a number of networking and discussion sessions, including one that focussed on the digital tools used by researchers both within and external to the chemical sciences and where the future of this discipline is heading. The discussion session, hosted by Chemical Science Editor-in-Chief Andrew Cooper and Associate Editor Alán Aspuru-Guzik complimented the work carried out by the Royal Society of Chemistry to publish a report on Digital Futures. We’ll report on this session separately.

As with all experiments, we are now in a position to reflect – some things were very successful, such as the quality of our presenters, the science being discussed and the level of engagement during our scientific sessions. However there were also challenges and aspects that need further thought in the future. Outside of software limitations and the obligatory technical hitches during a conference about digital research, perhaps predictably, networking was clearly not nearly as simple as you would find during a physical meeting. While we had a range of fantastic posters at the meeting and designated networking sessions, neither the virtual poster hall nor the chat rooms replicated the same random and chance encounters and discussions that we’re all used to and make a physical meeting such a useful and interesting place to be. So while we looked to give opportunities for delegates to connect, this is clearly an area we need to rethink. As the pandemic continues, the future effects this will inevitably have on the conferences landscape are unknown – now is a time for both researchers and event organisers to look to enable new ways to facilitate this. How do we continue the kinds of discussions that lead to knowledge sharing, future collaborations and job openings in an organic way that doesn’t require delegates to be forced into a chat room and told to network? While we ponder this problem from our side, we’d be grateful for thoughts and ideas from our community too.

So what does all this mean for 2021 – plans are currently underway for the next iteration of this symposium series and we will announce further details as soon as we can! In the meantime we would also welcome your feedback – regardless of whether you attended this meeting, our first symposium or you are thinking about maybe attending in the future. What would you like to see at our future symposia and how do you think they should be held – a physical meeting, virtually or a mixture of the two?

We’d like to take this opportunity to thank all those involved with the symposium – from our Chairs and presenters through to our delegates – thanks for helping make this such a successful meeting in these challenging times. If you would like to share any thoughts on our symposium series or suggestions for future changes (or topics) please do get in touch with our team at chemicalscience-rsc@rsc.org

Andrei Yudin joins Chemical Science as an Associate Editor

We are delighted to introduce Professor Andrei Yudin as Chemical Science Associate Editor, handling submissions in the area of organic chemistry.

Andrei is a Professor of Chemistry at the University of Toronto, where his group specialise in chemical synthesis with a focus on the preparation of novel biologically active molecules. Andrei and his group pioneered work on the preparation of amphoteric reagents, developing structurally distinct intermediates that were viewed as impossible to prepare prior to their studies. The group have been highlighted for the preparation of a library of difficult-to-prepare azridine aldehydes and α-boryl aldehydes that can be applied in the preparation of medically relevant peptidomimetics.

Andrei is the current Editor-in-Chief of the Royal Society of Chemistry journal, Organic & Biomolecular Chemistry, and runs a blog series providing regular updates on the progress within his group, found at https://amphoteros.com/.

Andrei has now joined the team at Chemical Science and looks forward to receiving submissions in the areas of organic synthesis, transition metal catalysis, peptide preparation and macrocyclisation.

Below is a selection of articles published in Chemical Science that Andrei would like to highlight:
