The Gallium - if you have not seen it, it is new to you! The Gallium was
a newsletter published for IUPAC's 2005 GA. It includes plenty of
miscellaneous information and reminders about dates and places for the
various events happening in Beijing. For archives purposes, it is now
online at <www.iupac.org/symposia/
conferences/ga05>

| After the GA and the Congress, I (FM) had a chance to visit a friend and
former colleague from graduate school, Zhigang Shuai. Zhigang is now at
the Institute of Chemistry of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and he
offered me a tour of the Institute and an opportunity to meet with his
group. Around the dinner table we talked about the experience of
graduate school and the expectations of these young researchers. |

Megane Rosborough and Peter Mahaffy (Vice Chairman of the Committee on
Chemistry Education and Chairman of PUC). Megane worked with Peter and
his task group on a project titled "Public Understanding of Science:
Identifying IUPAC's Niche." To make the most of the week-long event and
share their findings with a large number of people, they managed to have
a poster on the Project Place, another at the Congress, and a discussion
session well attended by more than 50 people. See project web page for
details <http://www.iupac.org/projects/2004/2004-047-1-050.html> |
