Dear colleague,
I would like to bring to your attention that the second Gordon-Kenan Graduate Research Seminar in Organometallic Chemistry will be held at Salve Regina University in Newport, RI from July 5-6, 2008.
We invite graduate students and postdoctoral fellows from all areas of organometallic research to submit abstracts for oral presentations before April 25, 2008. Applications for poster presentations will be accepted until June 14, 2008.
This seminar is aimed at providing graduate students and postdoctoral researchers with their own venue in which to present and discuss current research in organometallic chemistry. The program will explore a broad range of topics and relevant trends in organometallic chemistry, similar to that of the regular Gordon conference. Two keynote lectures will be presented by Prof. John Bercaw (California Institute of Technology) and Dr. Shane Krska (Merck) in addition to research talks given by graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. The full program is available at
http://www.grc.org/programs.aspx?year=2008&program=grad_orgmt
We expect participation of 30-40 graduate students and postdoctoral fellows and we hope that the large majority will remain for the GRC in Organometallic Chemistry that follows (July 6-11th, 2008). Acceptance to the Graduate Research Seminar will be based on a one-page submitted abstract. The top 8 abstracts submitted before April 25, 2008, will be selected for oral presentations and the remainder will be asked to present posters. Please apply on-line at the above web site.
(Please note that you must apply separately for the GRC at
http://www.grc.org/programs.aspx?year=2008&program=orgmet ).
We would also greatly appreciate it if you would spread the word to your colleagues, graduate students, and postdoctoral fellows about this upcoming meeting, as it is critical to have good attendance and a wide distribution of attendees to build a strong base on which this conference can grow. Questions can be directed to the conference chairs, Daniela Buccella (
db2164@columbia.edu), and Victoria Landry (
vkl2103@columbia.edu).
Thanks!
Sincerely,
Daniela Buccella and Victoria Landry
