SUMMARY:Organic Origins: The Chemistry Hidden in an Asteroid
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by ACS Webinars and ACS PHYS Astrochemistry Subdivision\n11:00 am-12:15 pm\, Online\, Free\, Registration required\n\n“In a stunning feat of precision and chemistry-driven exploration\, NASA’s OSIRIS-REx mission intercepted a speeding asteroid more than 200 million miles from Earth\, collected samples from its surface\, and returned them home\, making history as the first U.S. mission ever to do so. \n\n\n\nJoin Scott Sandford of the NASA Ames Research Center as he tells the fantastic true story of the mission to the Asteroid Bennu and how it brought the oldest chemical record in the Solar System. Register now to learn about the striking discoveries including Asteroid Bennu’s samples which contain a rich and diverse array of organic compounds\, potentially unlocking molecular clues to how planets and life began. \nThis ACS Webinar is moderated by Michel Nuevo of the NASA Ames Research Center and coproduced with the ACS PHYS Astrochemistry Subdivision.” \n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat You Will Learn\n\nThe OSIRIS-REx mission to Asteroid Bennu: its design\, flight\, sample collection\, and successful return to Earth\nThe discovery and characterization of the complex population of organic materials found\nInsights from the pristine samples that reveal the chemistry of our early Solar System\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent Details\n\nThursday\, January 22\, 2026 @ 2-3:15pm ET\nFree to attend\nSlides will be available on day of the webinar\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCo-Produced With\n\n\n\n\n\n\nACS PHYS Astrochemistry Subdivision

SUMMARY:Diagnose\, Adjust\, Advance: Job Search Strategies for Scientists
DESCRIPTION:The current job market can make even the most qualified candidates find their carefully planned career paths disrupted by unexpected variables. For scientists and technical professionals\, the job search can feel less like a linear process and more like an experiment that refuses to behave as expected. \nJoin Patricia Simpson of the School of Chemical Sciences at the University of Illinois as she diagnoses setbacks in the job search the way you would troubleshoot an unexpected reaction by identifying new variables\, adjusting conditions\, and intentionally refining your approach. Register now to discover tips for refining your application materials\, expanding your search into adjacent roles\, leveraging your technical strengths\, and building momentum even when conditions feel unpredictable. Whether you’re early in your career or facing an unexpected detour\, this webinar will equip you with tools to regain momentum and move toward your next opportunity with confidence. \n\n\n\n\nWhat You Will Learn\n\nHow to strengthen your application materials so they communicate your value clearly and stand out to the recruiting team in competitive conditions\nHow to broaden your search into adjacent or related roles while also expanding where and how you look to uncover pathways you may not have considered\nHow to leverage your technical strengths effectively\, translating them into language and stories that resonate with employers
