I appreciate that information about meetings is a perfectly valid
topic for this list. However I'm surprised that the Chemical
Structure Association, in particular, is still relying on such
local meetings. Should they not be leading the way ?? - and
organising electronic WWW conferences ??
Computerised Chemical Structure tools have advanced enormously in
recent years( many excellent examples are free to educational &
individual users) and the subject is the legitimate concern of ALL
levels of chemistry - Schools, Undergraduate and Postgraduate
Universities and colleges etc as well as the traditional and wealthy
Industry members. Many of these groups can afford neither the time
nor the money for meetings costing £200 plus travel expenses.
I would have thought the CSA could immediately widen its potential
membership/interest by organising such
international/wideranging/inexpensive and convenient electronic
conferences.
Accessing the Web is no big deal- a free beer or coffee at your
local college or cyber-cafe would guarantee friendly help- and the
ability to read guides, summaries,papers and listen-into or even
enter-into discussion from many countries would be a true and great
introduction to Chemistry Networking.
Any comments ??
