Good Health and Wellbeing Symposium2:00 鈥� 8:00 PM ET The ACS Office of Sustainability has organized this engaging session in alignment with the U.N.鈥檚 Sustainable Development Goals #3. This session will bring together researchers focused on reducing the environmental and health impacts of medicines and commercial chemicals, working toward a healthier, more sustainable future for all. Experts from industry will explore the current and future frontiers of producing medicines with minimal environmental footprints, identifying the fundamental research areas that will drive innovations in this field. Additionally, an interactive poster session and reception celebrating the 20th anniversary of the will be enjoyed. |
Water-Soluble Polymers: From Foundational Science to Finished Products2:00 鈥� 6:00 PM ET Water-soluble polymers play a vital role across diverse industries, including food and beverage, personal care, and household care. The effective design of these polymers necessitates a comprehensive understanding of their molecular structure, synthesis methods, characterization, and properties. This session will explore the foundational science underpinning water-soluble polymer development, the translation of this knowledge into practical polymer design and industrial applications, and the integration of these materials into consumer products. |

Circular Water Economy8:00 AM 鈥� 12:00 PM ET The circular water economy paradigm improves the energy efficiency of the entire water cycle, relieves the supply chain shortage of critical materials, and enables cost-effective fit-for-purpose water reuses. This one-day symposium features invited speakers and panelists who are leading researchers and practitioners along multiple dimensions of a circular water economy including the development of novel听selection and detection strategies of contaminants, the recovery of useful resources in wastewater such as critical minerals, nutrients, organics, and freshwater, and the removal of key contaminants such as per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and microplastics. This symposium aims to identify potential challenges and opportunities to further advance research within this field. |
Rock Stars Regenerative Engineering8:00 AM 鈥� 12:00 PM ET The annual Rock Stars of Regenerative Engineering Symposium brings together world-renowned engineers, scientists, and industry leaders to discuss the convergence of advanced materials sciences, stem cell science, physics, developmental biology, and clinical translation to regenerate complex tissues and organ systems. |
| Wednesday, August 20 |
MEDI First Time Disclosures: Breakthroughs on New Medicines8:00 AM 鈥� 12:00 PM ET The highly anticipated session that chronicles the journey of a molecule from discovery on the bench to its progression into clinical trials. This session emphasizes the challenges and successes medicinal chemists face every day and reminds us of the tremendous impact our efforts can bring!听 |
