This year’s Chemists Celebrate Earth Week with the theme “The Curious Chemistry of Amazing Algae”. The Orlando Section will participate in the 18th annual Central Florida Earth Day on Saturday, April 22, 2023 from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. at Lake Eola Park. Before joining us, some of you may be interested in downloading the information brochure designed to educate and engage children ages 9-12 (Grades 4-6) on the basic principles of chemistry and algae at orlandoacs.org/2023-ccew-celebrating-chemistry/Do not forget that the submission deadline for our illustrated poem contest is April 30. Details about the contest are at orlandoacs.org/2023-ccew-illustrated-poem-contest/ ... See MoreSee Less

Travel awards from the Orlando Section of the ACS assisted two Ph.D. candidates at University of Central Florida to attend the spring 2023 ACS Meeting held in Indianapolis from March 26-30. Lorianne Shultz and Jacob T Bryant received $500 each. Lorianne Shultz gave an oral presentation on her research in Professor Titel Jurca’s laboratory on “Probing the mechanism and structure-activity relationships in the CuOx catalysed reduction of 4-nitrophenol”. She received some helpful feedback on her work and was grateful for the funding to get there. Lorianne told us “I am excited to continue growing my network at the ACS National Conference to hopefully establish future collaborations.”Jacob T. Bryant is in Professor Fernando Uribe-Romo’s laboratory. His oral presentation was on “Designing titania metal-organic framework photocatalysts using the principles of reticular chemistry”. Jacob was able to interact with several of his collaborators, initiate potential new collaborations, and help recruit candidates for the graduate program at UCF. He states that he is very appreciative of the funding provided.Congratulations and good work, Lori and Jacob!About Student Travel Awards: The Orlando Section of the American Chemical Society offers travel awards to students who are in need of financial supplement for their conference participations.
