Symposium

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The 2022 ANACHEM / SAS Symposium will be held on Thursday, November 10th, 2022 at Burton Manor (www.burtonmanor.net) in Livonia, MI. The site is easily accessible from interstate highway, I-96.  A plenary lecture will be given by the 2021 recipient of the ANACHEM Award, Dr. Mark E. Meyerhoff, the Philip J. Elving Professor of Chemistry at the University of Michigan. An award session with invited speakers will be presented in his honor. This year’s symposium will also include four oral sessions devoted to research at the academic institutions in our region. Additionally, our academia colleagues will be holding an interactive oral session exploring industry perspectives, academic curriculum requirements, and strategies for strengthening our region’s excellent analytical chemistry education. The sessions are described in more detail below. An instrument exhibit, two educational workshops, and a poster session are also important parts of this annual symposium on chemical analysis. A preliminary outline of the Symposium and more details are included below. Register online in advance for a discounted rate. For more information, contact program@ANACHEM.org.

EDUCATIONAL WORKSHOPS
Provider: Waters Corporation
Morning Workshop: Polymer Size-Exclusion Chromatography Introduction, Advancements, and Processing Data
Afternoon Workshop: Addressing Chemical Diversity: An Introduction to Polymer Mass Spectrometry Analysis

ACADEMIC RESEARCH ORAL SESSIONS
Graduate students, principle investigators, undergraduate students, and other academic researchers are encouraged to participate in one of three Academic Research oral sessions. When arranging sessions, preference will be given to graduate students and principle investigators. There is a $100 cash award for the best graduate student presentation in each oral session. A proposed title and abstract must be submitted online for consideration by Friday, Sept. 16th, 2022. Abstract submitters are invited to indicate their preferred session on the online abstract submission form. Session organizers will consider these preferences but may not be able to accommodate all submitters.  For more information, contact program@ANACHEM.org.

ANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY EDUCATION SESSION
This year, our academia colleagues will be asking the question, ‘What are the skill gaps for fresh graduates?’ To answer this question, we will have an interactive oral session exploring industry perspectives, academic curriculum requirements, and how we can continue to strengthen the excellence of our region’s analytical chemistry education. A proposed title and abstract must be submitted online for consideration by Friday, Sept. 16th, 2022.

POSTER SESSION
All Symposium attendees, including graduate and undergraduate students, are invited to participate in the poster session. There is a $100 cash award for the best graduate student poster presentation and another $100 cash award for the best undergraduate student poster presentation. Whether you are student or an established chemist, please plan to share your research with us. A proposed title and abstract must be submitted online for consideration by Friday, Sept. 16th, 2022. For more information, contact program@ANACHEM.org.
