SUMMARY:Chemistry and the Economy: 2023 Mid-Year Review
DESCRIPTION:Are we charging ahead into a brick wall? The U.S. chemical industry is at a critical juncture where decisions must be made on overcapacity and growing political concerns\, including risks to major recent China oriented investments that need to be repurposed to support long-term growth in plastic recycling and growing concerns over PFAs from regulators and the legal system. \nJoin Paul Hodges of New Normal Consulting and Bill Carroll of Carroll Applied Science as they share data and their observations on what is affecting the chemical economy\, what tough decisions lie ahead\, and predict the factors that will shape industry in the near future. \nThis ACS Webinar is co-produced with ACS Industry Member Programs and ACS Division of Business Development and Management. \n\n\n\nWhat You Will Learn\n\nHow chemical plant closures and repurposing these facilities to process recycled materials could be the perfect response to overcapacity issues\nHow will recent political sanctions on slave labor in China and Russian oil importation affect global supply and demand\nWhat will be the chemical industry’s response to the clash between manufacturers regulators\, and the legal system concerning per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAs)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWebinar Details\n\nWednesday\, July 12\, 2023 @ 2-3pm ET\nFree to Register with ACS ID\nThe slides will available for download on the day of the event

SUMMARY:How Student Feedback Can Help Us Teach Better
DESCRIPTION:Focusing on student-centered instruction fosters a more effective and inclusive learning environment. Students possess unique perspectives and insights that can greatly enhance instruction and curricula when educators move past traditional ratings and evaluations from students to capture feedback that is timely\, accurate\, and actionable. \nJoin Valerie Wright\, Director of Diversity\, Equity\, and Inclusion at the American Sociological Association\, Emily Miller\, Deputy Vice President for Institutional Policy at the Association of American Universities\, and Kevin Gable\, Professor Emeritus at Oregon State University\, as they discuss the current state of teaching evaluations and what opportunities exist to offer educational experiences that improve student outcomes. Register now to learn how we can reframe student evaluations of teaching and move beyond student ratings. \nThis ACS Webinar is co-produced with ACS Education and the Society Committee on Education. \n\n\n\nWhat You Will Learn\n\nWhat are the risks associated with student ratings and evaluations of teaching\nHow can we obtain student feedback effectively\nWhat are the steps for implementing student feedback mechanisms\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWebinar Details\n\nThursday\, July 13\, 2023 @ 2-3pm ET\nFree to Register with ACS ID\nThe slides will available for download on the day of the event

SUMMARY:Fundamentals of Intellectual Property for Scientists
DESCRIPTION:Intellectual Property (IP) rights receive significant attention in the public discourse when movie studios\, musicians\, and major silicon valley companies challenge the unauthorized exploitation of their creations\, but IP is just as vital to protecting scientists as they work to invent formulas\, processes\, and software programs to solve the world’s most complex technological challenges. Whether you are at the early stages of research or preparing to commercialize your big discovery\, scientists at all stages of their careers can benefit from a fundamental understanding of IP rights and protections. \nJoin Katherine Rubino\, Partner and Chair of Life Sciences Practice Group at Caldwell and Edgardo Mantilla\, Intellectual Property Counsel at Thermo Fisher Scientific as they discuss the key fundamental concepts of IP that will include an introduction to patents\, trade secrets\, copyrights and trademarks. Register now to learn the value of securing an IP portfolio to assist in your potential business transactions. This ACS Webinar is co-produced with the ACS Division of Chemistry and the Law. \n\n\n\nWhat You Will Learn\n\nWhat are the different types of intellectual properties\nHow to select the appropriate form of IP protection\nWhat are some potential ways of thinking about the value of your IP\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWebinar Details\n\nWednesday\, July 19\, 2023 @ 2-3pm ET\nFree to Register with ACS ID\nThe slides will available for download on the day of the event
