Ever felt as though ACS meetings are so large it’s hard to keep track of everything? Or that you want to connect with scientists in a certain group but don’t know where to start? Community programming is a great solution. This is a way to navigate meetings by finding sessions and scientists within specific communities.

📢 ADVOCACY ALERT: Comment by August 24 🚨

Your voice is needed to advocate for federal science funding. The National Science Foundation (NSF) has proposed major changes to its grant policies, with revised guidance aligning them with the Office of Management and Budget’s proposed rule.

Learn more about these changes and submit a comment to NSF by August 24: https://brnw.ch/21x4Wqe

When serendipity meets chemistry, discoveries can follow. Sometimes an unexpected observation can spark something completely new and impactful.

Driven by curiosity, Nako Nakatsuka works at the intersection of chemistry, engineering, and neuroscience to develop new ways to better understand the world around us.

Here's how she does it.

In the 1990s, it was impossible to see sugars on cell surfaces despite their connection to disease. Frustrated by this, Dr. Carolyn Bertozzi dedicated her research to visualizing these sugars and created a new field of chemistry, bioorthogonal chemistry. Almost 3 decades later, she won a Nobel Prize for her innovation. Hear more about her journey at the JACS Symposium during ACS Fall 2026.

Where does innovation come from? From a strong team, a clear mission, and a curious mindset, according to Nako Nakatsuka, Ph.D. Her research program in chemical nanotechnology aims to improve human health by harnessing the innate elegance of biological sensing platforms. Her desire to understand, transform, and deploy these platforms comes from her focus on the patients who will someday use the technologies she develops.

Nakatsuka is an Assistant Professor of Neurotechnology at EPFL, the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne, Switzerland.

Every internship is a learning experience and an opportunity to make an impact.

This year, ACS interns built new skills, helped bring science stories to life, collaborated across teams and time zones, and gained hands-on experience through projects that extended far beyond the classroom. Along the way, they explored new career paths, strengthened their communication skills, and discovered what they want for their future.

As we celebrate National Intern Day, we're grateful for the curiosity, creativity, and fresh perspectives our interns bring to the ACS community.

Happy National Intern Day! 🎊

Thank you to the more than 900 people who submitted public comments through ACS’ Act4Chemistry.

Your voice matters, and together we sent a clear message that federal research policies should support innovation, scientific excellence, and U.S. competitiveness. The comment period has closed, but our advocacy continues.

Stay tuned for more opportunities to speak up for science.
