Symposium Title:  (CINF012) Role and Value of Social Networking in Advancing the Chemical Sciences #ACSINDY Symposium description :  There is no shortage of social networking tools available to the scientific community to embrace and, in theory, use to advance the chemical sciences. From YouTube videos for demonstrating lab procedures, to personal blogs or blogging communities, to crowdsourced wikis and Twitter. These tools allow for sharing, for community engagement and collaboration, and many other opportunities to connect scientists (and others) to science. This symposium will examine whether social networking tools offer value to the chemical sciences. We will review how these tools are presently being used and what the opportunities are for the future for improved engagement with the existing systems or the development of new and improved tools. Presentation title: Small chemical businesses and the importance of being social INSTITUTIONS 1. PID Analyzers, LLC, S

I did manage to find and speak to the one person I knew in the room: Russ Kraiterman of AJ Abrams Company . Russ has much enthusiasm and a special fondness for the HNU PI101 whose easy sales throughout the 1970's and into the 1980's made him a good living. He exclaimed: "PID's put my kids through college and they must have put you through college too"! I echoed with a "Yes, Yes". He said he saw my dad last month at the National Meeting in Montre
