You are cordially invited to attend the 2018 Western Regional Meetings (WRM) of the ACS. The WRM will be held at the Beckman Auditorium on the CalTech campus in Pasadena, California, on October 27, 2018. This one-day “nano” meeting shares its theme with that of 2018 National Chemistry Week theme: “Chemistry is Out of this World!” The meeting features speakers from the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, California Institute of Technology, and The Aerospace Corporation. The two scheduled poster sessions from any area of chemistry are open to high school, undergraduate and graduate researchers. The meeting will end with a banquet. Please use the following links to make your reservation and to submit your abstract.
The WRM is a great vehicle for recognizing the research and the researchers who are active locally. We hope to see you at this very exciting event.
