Evening Tweetup at ACS

The second ever Tweetup for the American Chemical Society Community was held in the evening during the ACS National Meeting on Monday August 23, 2010 at 8pm at Anthony's Pier 4 Restaurant on Boston Harbor.
Anthony's Pier 4 was the selected venue because it remains one of my favorite places in Boston. I have so many fond memories of the dining experience at Anthony's Pier 4; we would go there for special family events which included birthday celebrations, graduations, receptions and weddings.
I remember the strict dress code back in the early 1980's and watching as men squeezed into the "house" suit coats and ties; grumbling about how they didn't fit properly or didn't match. The implication however, would be perhaps the next time they would come in properly dressed for dinner. My mother would always insist on a table by the window but in actuality every table boasted spectacular views of Boston Harbor.

The Ladies Powder room upstairs was fit for a princess with pink walls and ample mirror space for ease of hair teasing and makeup reapplication. This was a perfect time waster for my sister and I while waiting for our "Glover Salad" after delighting in the chesse and crackers, marinated mushrooms and buttery fresh baked popovers.

I thought about the really popular hot spots in Boston where we could Meet up and Tweetup and instead choose Anthony's Pier 4 because of it's rich Boston history and Boston ambiance. The family owned Anthony's Pier 4 welcomed our Twitter Group when I described it over the phone to them and they agreed to let us use their Lounge (which normally functions as the room where those waiting for their reservations have a refreshment or cocktail while their table is prepared). We relished the opportunity to converse amongst ourselves and get aquainted with the little group that came to Tweet-Up with us. Special thanks goes out to my good friend, Ken Grant of Analtech, who kept the party rolling with his laptop full of social media presentation goodies and to the folks who came out to socialize with a few ACS Tweeters on such a damp and windy August night.

We're looking forward to TweetingUp in Anaheim in 2011 and we'll make sure we don't schedule it during SCI-MIX.

ACS TweetUp at the Expo

The American Chemical Society Tweetup at the Expo was held at Booth #236 at 4PM on Monday August 23, 2010 at the Boston Convention & Exposition Center in South Boston. This event lasted almost an hour and was well attended considering that it was held during expo hours and the technical sessions. Discussion topics included current use of social media, recent improvements to the ACS Network and the extremely active Twitterfeed and Twitter Cloud using the #acs_Boston hashtag. Participants in this event included ungergrads, exhibitors, attendees, ACS Employees, ACS Committee Members and media. This ACS National Meeting Boston Tweetup is considered to be the first Tweetup for the ACS Community.

AIHCE Soap Box Controversial topic: FAST GC in IH?

If you are in Denver at the Colorado Convention Center at AIHCE today then make sure to check out the EXPO THEATRE located on the show floor at 2:30pm today for the AIHCE SOAP BOX TALKS. Dr. Jack Driscoll of PID Analyzers (AIHCE) and Dr. Phil Smith of Uniformed Services University will be "on the AIHCE Soap Box" talking about their super fast, ovenless GC...this is amazing stuff...these guys think that faster methods and more accurate analyses are needed for Industrial Hygienists; "How can these be applied? The long capillary columns provide much better resolution (better separation) 30 M as opposed to 10 M. Lager sample size provides improved detection limits, faster programming and shorter times means more samples can be taken". The actual presentation from today's talk is available below. Interested in the fast GC? Contact Jack Driscoll.
