Pacifichem 2015 - Call for Symposium Submissions
The 2015 International Congress of Pacific Basin Societies (Pacifichem) will take place in Honolulu, Hawaii, USA, December 15-20, 2015.
The Canadian Society for Chemistry (CSC), a Founding Society of Pacifichem invites you to submit a symposium proposal in the first round, which opens January 1, 2013 and closes April 1, 2013. Canada had its strongest showing ever at Pacifichem 2010; we encourage Canadian chemical scientists and engineers to once again show our strengths at what many consider to be the premier global scientific congress.
The CSC is represented on the Pacifichem 2015 Organizing Committee by Professor Cathleen Crudden, Queen's University / CSC President (2012-2013) / Pacifichem 2015 Communications and Protocol Committee, Professor Steven Holdcroft, Simon Fraser University / Pacifichem 2015 Vice-Chairman / Scientific Program Committee Chair and Roland Andersson, Chemical Institute of Canada / Pacifichem 2015 Finance Committee.
The Call for Symposium Submissions instructions are at:
http://www.pacifichem.org/technical-program/symposium-proposal-submission/
The Pacifichem 2015 Theme
The theme of Pacifichem 2015 is Chemical Networking: Building Bridges Across the Pacific, emphasizing the collaborative nature of chemistry as a multidisciplinary science and the opportunities to network with Pan-Pacific research groups at the Pacifichem meetings.
Collaborations in Chemistry
In keeping with the theme, Pacifichem 2015 welcomes proposals focusing on collaborations in chemistry. Symposia showcasing various aspects of collaboration across different geographic regions or between different sectors of chemical research (industry, academia, research institutes, government laboratories) are welcome, as are symposia focusing on partnerships between traditional industries and contract research organizations (CROs) or contract manufacturing organizations (CMO's). Other collaborative arrangements of interest include precompetitive industrial collaborations on enabling chemical technologies, new technologies and new strategies for facilitating effective collaborations across multiple time zones, and managing intellectual property and licensing.
Industry in Chemistry
In recognizing the increasing importance of pan-Pacific collaborations in the chemical industry, Pacifichem 2015 welcomes symposia proposals related to Industry in Chemistry. Topics of potential interest include emerging challenges in the chemical industry, entrepreneurship and job creation in chemistry, translating chemical research discoveries into new commercial products, IP concerns in chemistry, optimization of chemistry workflows, use of six sigma and lean manufacturing practices in the chemical industry, disruptive chemical technologies, platform technologies in chemistry, leadership in the chemical industry, management in the chemical industry, talent acquisition training in the chemical industry, etc.

Russell Varian Prize 2013 - Call for nominations
The Russell Varian Lecture and Prize
The Russell Varian prize honors the memory of the pioneer behind the first commercial Nuclear Magnetic Resonance spectrometers and co-founder of Varian Associates. The prize is awarded to a researcher based on a single innovative contribution (a single paper, patent, lecture, or piece of hardware) that has proven of high and broad impact on state-of-the-art NMR technology. The prize is designed to recognize the initial contribution that laid the foundations for a specific technology of great importance in state-of-the-art NMR. It is sponsored by Agilent Technologies and currently carries a monetary award of 15,000 Euro. The award ceremony will take place at the EUROMAR 2013 meeting in Hersonissos, Crete, Greece, 30th June to 5th July, 2013, with the winner delivering the Russell Varian Lecture.
Rules for the Russell Varian Prize
• Only single pieces of work are considered (a paper, a lecture, a patent, etc).
• In the case of multiple authorship, the prize is awarded to the author with the largest creative and innovative share of the contribution. In the exceptional case of truly equal shares in the contribution, the Prize may be split between two authors.
• No individual may receive the prize more than once.
• Prizewinners become members of the Advisory Board for the Russell Varian Prize that evaluates future nominations and makes recommendations to the Prize Committee.
Call for Nominations
Nominations must be forwarded by email to the Secretary of the Prize Committee, Gareth Morris, at [g.a.morris "at" manchester.ac.uk]. The deadline for nominations is February 12, 2013. Nominations should be laid out in the format of a publishable laudatio proposal that in the case of multiple authorship must include an explanation of why the nominee is the most innovative author behind the paper. Attention is further drawn to the fact that the Russell Varian prize rewards the earliest seed paper of an important technology, rather than later more comprehensive and highly cited papers.

CSC 2013 symposium - "Halogen Bonding and other Non-Covalent Interactions"
David Bryce (Ottawa) and Mark Taylor (Toronto) are organizing a symposium on "Halogen Bonding and other Non-Covalent Interactions" to be held as part of the Canadian Chemistry Conference in Quebec City, May 26-30, 2013. International experts including Prof. Pierangelo Metrangolo (Milan, Italy), Prof. Giuseppe Resnati (Milan, Italy), Prof. P. Shing Ho (Colorado State, USA), and Prof. Duncan Bruce (York, UK) have already agreed to give oral presentations at the meeting. Although this is not an NMR-focussed symposium, there are opportunities for NMR researchers studying non-covalent interactions such as hydrogen bonding to make a contribution to this symposium. We encourage you and your students to consider attending!

Cover article in Chemistry - A European Journal
Margaret A. Hanson, Andre Sutrisno, Victor V. Terskikh, Kim M. Baines, Yining Huang, "Solid-State 73Ge NMR Spectroscopy of Simple Organogermanes,"Chemistry - A European Journal 18 (2012) 13770–13779. (Cover Article)
http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/chem.201201944
Germanium-73 is an extremely challenging nucleus to examine by solid-state NMR spectroscopy, due to its unfavorable NMR properties. Through the use of an ultrahigh (21.1 T) magnetic field, a systematic study of a series of organogermanes was carried out.
This cover article features results obtained using the 21.1 T solid-state NMR spectrometer at the National Ultrahigh-Field NMR Facility for Solids (Ottawa, ON). If you are interested in using this spectrometer in your research please contact the Facility manager http://nmr900.ca
