Chemistry Central Journal conferences in July

The broad, multidisciplinary nature of Chemistry Central Journal means that we are always interested in research that links together work from different subject areas. That is why next week, we will be attending conferences on The Science of Ageing – Global Progress, and Catalysis and Sensing for the Environment (CASE).

The Science of Ageing takes place in Brighton, UK from 11th–14th July and is being co-organised by Lizzy Ostler, Section Editor for Chemistry Central Journal. Studies into ageing have traditionally been dominated by biological research groups, but in recent years, the potential impact of chemical analysis and small molecule interventions has become widely recognised. Research into ageing spans the full range of chemistry and there are an increasing number of chemists working in this area.

To highlight this, Chemistry Central Journal has organised a lunch reception on the penultimate day of the meeting specifically for the chemists who are attending. Here, we will formally announce a new thematic series on Chemistry of Ageing to recognise the growing contributions that chemists are making to the field.

The CASE meeting is a one-day conference at the University of Birmingham, UK organised by Chemistry Central Journal Editorial Board Member John Fossey. In addition to the more traditional lectures, the conference will feature three lightning sessions, in which the speaker must deliver 20 slides with just 20 seconds allowed per slide. The lightning sessions, powered by Chemistry Central Journal, are an example of the changing way in which chemistry is communicated.
