Hi everyone. It has been an exciting and busy ACS meeting so far. There were flight delays, airport shuttle snafus and a 7 hour overnight power outage at our hotel. But we have managed to overcome these difficulties to have a great conference. The teaching at the frontiers of inorganic chemistry sessions have been awesome. It's great to get people together discussing how we teach. And the research symposium got off to a wonderful start on Sunday and still has morning and afternoon sessions left on Tuesday. The poster session Sunday night was very busy. My good friend Flo doesn't like to talk about it much, something about really going all out for the cause in hanging with the poster. The only problem with all of this activity is that I get left back at the hotel. But I have managed to find a way to keep myself occupied and write my first BITeS post. I will be slithering over to the social hour at Bubs at the Ballpark soon, hope to see you there.
