From August 16th – 20th, chemists from all over the world will be descending on Boston for the 250th National Meeting! In addition to all of the great opportunities that ACS has to offer during the conference, NSYCC and our affiliates have some fun events and symposia planned as well. We encourage everyone who is in town for the conference to join in and get to know the local YCC chapter!
