Society is faced with increasingly complex challenges (climate change, emerging environmental contaminants, etc.) that have global implications. These issues require innovative, collaborative solutions built upon the exchange of ideas between scientists, policymakers, and the public. Science communication plays a vital role in this process by ensuring that scientific knowledge and discoveries are accessible and understandable to the public. Scientific literacy empowers individuals to make informed decisions, participate in public discourse, and advocate for the health and welfare of their community.
Oral presentations and written communications, including scientific articles, books, blogs, and op-eds in newspapers or magazines have long been used for this purpose. However, it is increasingly recognized that alternative forms of communication may reach a more diverse audience and result in increased engagement. Multimedia presentations including videos, podcasts, and documentaries combine visuals, narration, and storytelling to convey scientific information in an engaging and accessible manner. Science museums and exhibits provide interactive and immersive experiences. Social media and online platforms like Twitter, YouTube, and Instagram allow for the dissemination of scientific information in real time and provide a platform for discourse. And citizen science projects enable individuals to contribute to scientific endeavors by formulating questions, collecting data, making observations, or analyzing data in collaboration with scientists. This session is open to researchers to share their experiences, insights, and success stories in utilizing various communication tools to engage with policy makers, media, or the general public. In addition, we welcome presentations focusing on methods for accessibility in science communication.

Nanomaterials have been extensively used in polymer nanocomposite membranes due to the inclusion of unique features that enhance water and wastewater treatment performance. Compared to the pristine membranes, the incorporation of nanomodifiers not only improves membrane performance (water permeability, salt rejection, contaminant removal, selectivity), but also the intrinsic properties (hydrophilicity, porosity, antifouling properties, antimicrobial properties, mechanical, thermal, and chemical stability) of these membranes. This symposium will focus on the chemistry and structure-property aspects of nanocomposite materials. It will highlight new innovations and applications of different types of nanomaterials: zero-dimensional (metal/metal oxide nanoparticles), one-dimensional (carbon nanotubes), two-dimensional (graphene and associated structures), and three-dimensional (zeolites and associated frameworks) nanomaterials combined with polymers towards novel polymeric nanocomposites for water and wastewater treatment applications.

Increasingly, chemical monitoring and characterization studies are shifting towards high resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) based non-targeted analysis (NTA, also called untargeted analysis or non-targeted screening) approaches which allow discovery of a greater scope of chemicals than traditional targeted methods. By their very nature, NTA approaches generate orders of magnitude greater amounts of chemical feature data; in order to identify the most significant and relevant chemicals present, researchers may perform post-acquisition analyses on NTA data, often via automated methods. These analyses range from retrieving chemical analytical data, metadata, and quantitative structure–activity relationship (QSPR) predictions to support chemical identifications, to performing statistical analyses and/or combining data from parallel studies to support prioritization of chemical features. Topics of interest for this session include (but are not limited to): software analyses, chemical databases, chromatography and spectral predictions, statistical analyses, prioritization of features, machine learning analyses, multi-study data integration (i.e., geospatial, temporal, metabolomics, lipidomics, genomics, transcriptomics, etc.), and applications of approaches on real world NTA data.

Delivery sciences play a vital role in translating the identified therapeutic molecules from bench-to-bedside. Delivery strategy not only facilitate transportation of the therapeutic molecules from site of administration to the site of action but they protect the drug from body's obstacle and protect the body from unwanted toxicities of the therapeutic modalities. Understanding chemistry and properties of the vehicle that act as a carrier for the drugs is very crucial. In this symposium we will invite individual speakers that include leaders in this field as keynote, emerging and young scientists as well as postdoctoral/doctoral trainees to highlight their thoughts and accomplishments.

High resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) instrumentation has utility for answering questions in public health, environmental, agricultural, biological 'omics, medical, regulatory, and other topic areas. Whether small (e.g., metabolites, pollutants) or large (e.g., proteins) molecules are of interest, HRMS can be a useful data collection tool. Applications of HRMS require care to ensure confident and reproducible detection, identification, classification, and quantification of species of interest - whether known or unknown. This session will discuss development and applications of HRMS across topic areas. Topics of interest for this session include (but are not limited to): instrumentation and related advances (e.g., ion mobility, chromatography/online sample prep, detectors); methods development; performance evaluation for HRMS methods (e.g., selectivity, sensitivity, reporting uncertainty); quality assurance; and real-world applications of HRMS.

The success of any effort to model environmental chemistry outcomes, be they fate, transport, transformation, or bioactivity, relies upon suitable cognition and representation of the underlying and causative chemistry. The way in which chemistry is encoded, which can include traditional structure representations such as spectra, SMILES, InChIKeys, or fingerprints, or experimental attributes like spectra, physical-chemical properties, or bioactivity profiles, can significantly impact the results of any modeling effort, be it machine learning-based or otherwise. Concrete examples of chemical encodings include the development of representations for both targeted (endpoint-specific) and untargeted (endpoint non-specific) similarity comparisons such as those found in read-across workflows and clustering methodologies. The choice of these representations significantly impacts the performance, interpretability, and capabilities of models built upon them for predictive or ontological purposes.
This symposium invites direct scrutiny of the advantages, disadvantages, and methodologies associated with the various means of representing chemical structure pertaining to modeling and organizing chemical data. Topics can include modern approaches to chemical characterization such as string encoding, fingerprinting, graph representation, analytical spectra, substructure characterization, or novel basis sets. Emphasis is placed on the interpretability of these representations, and how they can help chemists harness modern cheminformatics and computational approaches while maintaining intuitive accessibility in the resulting models. We are also interested in new ontological schemas for organizing chemical classes, which may emerge from unsupervised machine learning or expert-driven efforts to better categorize chemicals of contemporary interest.
Such chemicals would include pharmaceuticals, known environmental contaminants, and chemical families associated with high potential health hazard. A successful symposium would inspire a conversation on the benefits of higher model performance against the benefits of mechanistic interpretation and where middle ground between the two goals may exist.

Polymeric materials and their polymerization processes have been widely used to realize biosensing and/or bioimaging applications in the past decades. Different polymers with various morphologies and functionalities were synthesized by step-growth polymerization (e.g., condensation polymerization) or radical chain polymerization (e.g., ATRP, RAFT). The synthetic polymers or relevant polymerizations act as recognition or signal transduction/amplification elements (e.g., Amplification-by-Polymerization) to report the occurrence of biological binding events. Radiopaque polymers such as iodinated polyesters and their bioconjugates have demonstrated high radiopacity and biocompatibility for biomedical imaging. This symposium is providing a communication platform to discuss the current status and future perspectives of polymer/polymerization-based biosensing and/or bioimaging techniques.

In the recently updated values of ACS, DEIR is identified as a core value for the organization. This is very timely as despite making big strides in respect and inclusion in STEM, the reality often looks otherwise. This is reflected by hundreds of research articles published every year describing/identifying leaky pipelines for chemists who identify as PEER (Persons excluded based on their ethnicity and race), LGBTQIA2S+, women (both cis and trans women and gender non-conforming folks), disabled, etc. Although these are national (and often global) trends, the situation of LGBTQIA2S+ chemists in the South is often precarious due to local culture and politics. This symposium is an effort to bring local LGBTQIA2S+ chemists (graduate, undergraduate, postdoctoral researcher, and faculty of all ranks) together to share their science, and lived experiences, and build capacity for effective mentorship so that we are working towards replacing the leaky pipe rather than just putting on a bandaid. This symposium is intentionally intersectional, that is, will shine a light on LGBTQIA2S+ folks with multiple underserved identities (race and ethnicity, disability, immigration status, etc.).

Single-molecule studies have the power to extract molecular sub-populations and dynamics that are obscured by ensemble measurements. Physical chemists, as the “jack of all trades” of the “central science”, have played a critical role in the development and application of single-molecule methods to a range of critical research questions in materials science, chemistry, and biology. In many cases, the data created by these methods and the models used to explain these data have transformed our understanding of molecular processes in complex, heterogenous environments. This symposium will focus on advances in single-molecule methods, loosely defined, including single-molecule spectroscopy, super-resolution microscopy, single-particle tracking and many more, as well as on advances in single-molecule data analysis and modeling approaches. The goal is to bring together experimentalists and theorists who’s work will benefit from overcoming the barriers of ensemble measurements!

The properties of contaminants can transform due to environmental and/or biological interactions and reactions, however the occurrence, fate, and toxicity of transformation products (TPs) are largely unknown. Investigation of TPs from emerging contaminants is critical to better inform environmental and human health risk assessments by filling data gaps. High resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) and non-targeted analysis (NTA) are important tools for the identification of TPs of emerging concern. Despite the growing availability and use of such tools, identification is still a challenge due to 1) the difficulty in predicting transformation pathways for environmentally relevant chemicals, 2) abundance and complexity of data generated with HRMS and NTA techniques, 3) complexity of matrices, 4) chemical variety, and 5) lack of standards. This session will focus on (but is not limited to): identification of novel biological and environmental TPs and pathways; occurrence and effects of TPs; development, advances, and availability of analytical and computational tools (e.g., prediction tools and databases) and workflows for identification; and application to environmental and biological matrices for any class of emerging organic contaminants, including cannabinoid pesticides and per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS).

Ultrafast science has a truly interdisciplinary and strong impact on modern physics, chemistry, and biology, and materials science. Femtosecond lasers provide high temporal resolution to assess the photochemical and photophysical processes and the ability to access non-linear optical responses in complex systems. Recent development in the field has strong impact on current research. The time resolution of ultrafast experiments has been pushed to the 100 attosecond domain. The spectral range in which intense ultrashort pulses are available to probe the system extends from the far-infrared or terahertz range up to hard X-rays. Ultrafast microscopy using femtosecond lasers opens up the possibility to visualize the light- driven responses. Such recent laser-based advancements are paving the way for innovative applications in emerging fields for basic science and fundamental understanding to technological developments.
This symposium focuses on recent advances using ultrafast and nonlinear spectroscopy and microscopy and their applications on chemical, physical, and materials science. The ultimate aim of the symposium is to provide a venue for researchers to discuss recent developments, challenges and emerging opportunities in this field.
