The presentation will also explain the federal coding system for chemists and chemical engineers and provide data about employment by geography\, discipline\, department\, and agency to help participants match job opportunities with their experience\, strengths\, and values. After attending this session\, you will be able to: • Identify the types of jobs available to chemists with the federal government. • Find available job opportunities through a variety of sources. • Understand how to navigate the federal job application process. The first half of the workshop will feature a presentation by an ACS Career Consultant\, while the last half will allow participants the opportunity to ask questions and network in small breakout groups led by ACS Career Consultants. \nAbout ACS Virtual Office Hours:\nACS Virtual Office Hours are held the first Thursday of every month from 9:00 – 10:30pm Pacific Time. \nVirtual Office Hours is a free program open to both ACS members and non-members.

SUMMARY:Sustainability at Exponent: Webinar and In-person Tour
DESCRIPTION:Tiny Fibers\, Big Problems: An Introduction to the Contributors\, Environmental Impact\, & Regulation of Microplastics\n\n\nSponsored by SPE Golden Gate Section\n\n\n12:00 – 2:30PM\, Menlo Park\, Learn more and register\n\n\nErin Kirkpatrick\, Ph.D.\, Brian Jing\, Ph.D.\, Sadella Santos\, Ph.D.\n\n\nMicroplastics have recently gained more attention due to their ever-growing presence in the environment\, however\, their impact is not fully understood. They originate from a variety of sources including the intentional addition of small plastic particles to certain consumer products and the degradation of larger plastic materials from post-consumer use\, such as from synthetic fibers from textiles. Currently\, there is a lack of federal regulation focused on targeting the pathways that microplastics are introduced into the environment. Further\, due to the lack of regulation\, there is a lack of scientific consensus on the appropriate standard methods for identifying and characterizing microplastics. This review will discuss the current definition of microplastic and their sources\, current and developing regulation\, the available standards and quantification methods\, and comment on the dynamic landscape of the textile industry’s contribution to microplastics. \nLunch will be provided for in-person attendees. \nFor the virtual event\, register here. \nEvent Schedule\nNoon – 1pm PST: Webinar and Lunch (for in-person attendees) \n1:15-2:30pm: Exponent Lab Tour (Chromatography/FTIR labs\, Microscopy Spaces\, Inspection Areas)
