RSC-US members meet in New York, NY

The Annual General Meeting of the Royal Society of Chemistry, (U.S. Section) was held at the Princeton Club of New York on Saturday November 21st, 2009. All members were welcome and encouraged to attend an evening that was an opportunity to conduct the annual business of the Section, while providing occasion to visit friends and new acquaintances, enjoy a pleasant meal, and to hear a stimulating talk. The Princeton Club has for several years provided a convenient venue for the annual general meeting, while New York City provides many possibilities for an enjoyable and productive day.

The evening began at 6:00 PM with a reception featuring hors d’oeuvres and a cash bar, followed by dinner at 7:00 PM and the talk at about 8:30 PM after a short Section business meeting. The meeting adjourned around 10 PM.

After dinner our speaker was Prof. Dan Murray of the University of Rhode Island discussed the topic: “Geologic Time & Geochemistry: Fundamental To Understanding Earth History”, which proved to be of great interest to the members of the Section.
