SUMMARY:Curating Worldwide Scientific Content
DESCRIPTION:Stephen (Steve) K. Boyer\, PhD.\, Collabra\, Inc.\nSponsored by the Silicon Valley and Puget Sound Sections of ACS\n7:00-8:00pm\, Online via Zoom\, Free\, Registration required\n\nAbstract\nChemical informatics technology is improving access to the text and images of patents and the scientific literature through computer-curation. In the example of a collaboration between a team of computer scientists at Google Patents and chemical informaticians at Ontochem\, annotated data is produced from the patents of ~138 countries translated from ~ 58 languages as well as from Google Scholar and Books. The annotators identify entities such as chemical names\, diseases\, proteins\, and genes that are then post-processed into machine-readable formats\, normalized\, and labeled with unique ontology concept identifiers (OCIDs). Chemical names and images are postprocessed using name-to-structure and image-to-structure programs\, producing associated metadata\, e.g.\, SMILES strings\, InChIs\, and InChIkeys. In this manner worldwide patents and the scientific literature are rendered searchable by structure-substructure searching. This is demonstrated on the freely available Google Patents platform. Data derived from patents are downloadable in machine-readable formats (SMILES)\, while data derived from the scientific literature is available via new commercial offerings such as Dimensions from Digital Science. \nThe output of non-copyrighted data of >54 billion scientific and related entities is donated to NIH and made available in PubChem and in Google Big Query. These collaborative efforts provide researchers access to previously unavailable resources\, relevant in the areas of pharmaceuticals\, publishing\, health care\, and environmental science. Integration of this data with massive amounts of additional scientific information uploaded into the Big Query environment provides a rich resource for machine-learning and widespread value for the worldwide scientific community. \nBio\nStephen (Steve) K. Boyer\, PhD.\, Collabra\, Inc.                       \nhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/stephen-k-boyer-15529  \nSteve Boyer works in the interdisciplinary space of chemistry and computer science. By automating the curation of patents and the scientific literature\, his goal is to expand the scientific community’s understanding and use of published information in chemistry\, the physical sciences\, medicine and intellectual property. \nHis professional history combines ten years of synthesis and scale-up in the pharmaceutical industry (Ciba-Geigy/Novartis) with 25 years in technical capacities at IBM Research. He has participated in several start-ups and currently serves as a science advisor at Google\, Digital-Science\, OntoChem and several other cheminformatics enterprises. He played a major role in getting patent information publicly available on the early days of the internet. \nSteve holds a BA from Temple University in Philadelphia and a PhD in synthetic organic chemistry from Tufts University. His publications and patents range from new drug syntheses to text+image analytics. https://bit.ly/3Ky5XSU

SUMMARY:RAMP in the Research Lab Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by ACS Division of Chemical Health & Safety\nNoon-3:00pm\, Online via Zoom\, $25\, Registration required\n\nThis 3-hour workshop is primarily directed at frontline researchers in academic institutions: graduate students\, postdoctoral scholars\, and undergraduate students. \nLearn the principles of the RAMP paradigm through a series of case studies and discussion sessions focused on practicing each of the RAMP steps. \nFaculty and safety staff are also encouraged to attend to learn strategies to better prepare the student researchers on their campuses for risk management of their experimental work. \nThis workshop is designed to be highly interactive\, both to encourage networking among our participants and to support participants in developing functional plans to take back to their institutions. We utilize the Zoom platform to support both large group and small group activities. Those who have reported the workshop as useful are also those who heavily engaged. The participants add value to this workshop as much\, if not more than\, the organizers! \nWhile we certainly understand that the unevenness of Internet connectivity and the challenges of work-from-home can serve as barriers\, we strongly advise you to come to this workshop prepared to engage with mics and cameras on! If this is not possible\, we ask that you engage via the chat function. \nWhile this workshop has been designed from a US perspective\, we have had participants from multiple countries report that they found it useful as well! This international audience is just one more reason why the interactivity among participants is so vital to the success of the workshop for all participants! \nThis workshop is brought to you by the ACS Division of Chemical Health and Safety as one of two workshops in the ACS CHAS Peer Led Workshop Series. To learn more about the Division and the ACS CHAS Peer Led Workshop Series\, please visit our main website at dchas.org.

SUMMARY:21st Annual Bunnett Symposium\, UC Santa Cruz Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry
DESCRIPTION:Featured lecturer Dr. John Warner\, co-founder of the field of Green Chemistry\n4pm. Learn more\n\nThis annual event was established in 2001 to honor and celebrate the late Prof. Joseph Bunnett’s seminal contributions: Prof. Bunnett was a pioneer in his sub-discipline of physical organic chemistry and a founding member of our department. The Bunnett Symposium has evolved into an opportunity to connect past and present friends of the Department for discussion\, accompanied by exposure to seminal ideas in chemistry through the distinguished lecture\, and an Awards Ceremony where we honor the academic and research achievements of our current crop of outstanding undergraduates.  \nJohn Warner is a chemistry Inventor and cofounder of the field of Green Chemistry\nIn the early 1990’s John realized that global students in chemistry had little (or no) training in predictive toxicology or understanding of environmental systems. He felt that the consequence of this lack of training was a root cause for why many industrial products and processes have negative impacts on human health and the environment. He realized that an ongoing lack of training would forever inhibit the invention of better\, more sustainable technologies. Together with Paul Anastas\, he defined the field of Green Chemistry and created the 12 Principles of Green Chemistry. He has spent his life working to change the field of chemistry and the education of future chemists to ensure that all practicing chemists will one day have the necessary skills to invent truly sustainable technologies. Together with Dr. Amy Cannon\, he founded the non-profit\, Beyond Benign that offers the “Green Chemistry Commitment” that asks University Chemistry programs to add the principles of green chemistry into their required curriculum. As of 2022 nearly 100 international universities have signed this commitment. John’s career has spanned all aspects of the chemical enterprises\, providing real world examples of green chemistry: \nAs an Industrial Chemist: \n\nWorked for Polaroid Corporation and The Zymergen Corporation.\nReceived the Perkin Medal in 2014. (Highest honor in US Chemical Industry)\nFlied over 330 patents.\nInvented technologies for companies including Nike\, Givaudan\, Covestro\, Lanxess and Entegris.\nServed on advisory boards for companies including Dow\, Nike\, Levis and Apple\n\nAs an Academic Chemist: \n\nFull Professor of Chemistry at University of Massachusetts Boston\nFull Professor of Plastics Engineering at University of Massachusetts Lowell\nDistinguished Professor of Green Chemistry at Monash University\nHonorary Professor of Chemistry at Technical University of Berlin\nVisiting Professor at AgroParis Tech\nGlobal Chair of Sustainability at University of Bath\nCreated world’s first graduate program in Green Chemistry.\nOver 100 publications\nReceived Presidential Award for Excellence in Science Mentoring in 2004\nReceived the August Wilhelm von Hofmann medal in 2022\n\nAs Entrepreneur: \n\nNamed Lemelson Invention Ambassador in 2016\nCreated 6 ongoing companies\n\nWarner Babcock Institute for Green Chemistry\nBeyond Benign\nCollaborative Medicinal Development\nCollaborative Aggregates\nAmbient Photonics\nHairprint\n\n\nTU Berlin named the John Warner Center for Startups in Green Chemistry\n\nAs Chemicals Policy Advisor: \n\nCofounder of US EPA Green Chemistry Challenge Award\nStrategic Advisor Victorian Environmental Protection Agency\nCochair California Green Chemistry Science Advisory Board\nTestified to US Congress on The Sustainable Chemistry Research and Development Act of 2019
