📢 Wednesday Afternoon, March 26 | #ACSSpring2025 📢 🔬 PMSE Symposia at a Glance!

PMSE History Week 10: The Spring 2020 Philly ACS meeting, scheduled for March 22-26 and meant to celebrate 100 years of polymer science, was cancelled 2 weeks prior. Among lost ACS PMSE Division programming was this symposium honoring my workplace. Next week: More on Pandemic-era PMSE.

🚨 Call for Abstracts – ACS Fall 2025 🚨 📍 Location: Washington, DC | August 17-21 📅 Submission Deadline: TODAY - Monday, March 31, 2025, at 11:59 PM EST PMSE invites you to submit your abstracts for #ACSFall2025: acsnm270.abstractcentral.com

📢 Don’t miss the free PMSE + #ACSWebinars on X-ray Scattering in Polymers Today! 🗓 April 3, 2025 | 🕒 3 PM EDT 🎙 Dr. Robert Moore & Dr. Gila Stein 🔗 Register: acs.org/acs-webinars/l… #PMSE #PolymerScience #XRayScattering #Webinars

PMSE History Week 11: 5 years ago, after pandemic cancellation of Spring 2020’s national meeting, ACS quickly replanned Fall 2020 (San Francisco) to be entirely virtual, including a virtual ACS PMSE Division membership desk! Kudos to those behind the scenes at PMSE who handled the chaos.

🏆 Congrats to Prof. Adrianne Rosales (UT Austin) for winning the PMSE Arthur K. Doolittle Award at #ACSSpring2025 for her talk: “Building hierarchical structure into hydrogels for engineered extracellular matrices” A standout in polymer science! 👏 #PMSE #Hydrogels #WomenInSTEM

Congratulations to POLY's Spring ACS Outstanding Poster Awardees! A great deal of work goes into producing a poster for the ACS Meetings. You can view their work at conta.cc/4jGwj3s #POLYstudentaward #ACSSpring2025

PMSE History, Week 13: In case you were wondering how divisional National ACS Meeting programs were prepared and submitted back in 1938…now you know. (Be sure to spell “sulfur” with an “f”, please). Back then, of course, ACS PMSE Division programmed as the Paint and Varnish Division.

PMSE History, Week 14: Some of the early historical articles published about the Division and the coatings industry. Citations in comments. (More about those “Preprint advantages and problems” next week.). ACS PMSE Division

📢 Reminder: Symposium proposals for the Spring 2026 ACS Meeting are due April 30, 2025! Celebrate 150 years of ACS or propose a new idea! 🖊️ Submit here: pmsedivision.org/symposiaorg/ #PMSE #ACSSpring2026 #PolymerScience #ACS2026

We apologize for the lack of ACS PMSE Division historical Tweets for May (due to obligations elsewhere for your PMSE Historian). They will restart in July. If you have historical Divisional materials lying around, we’d love to to have them! We are actively adding things to our archives.
