The DOC is committed to fighting racism and implicit bias. Racism, bias and hate have no place in the DOC, the ACS, in science, or anywhere. The ACS provides resources for Diversity, Inclusion and Respect. Anti-racism work requires sustained, proactive education and engagement as well as systemic, intentional efforts at micro- and macro-levels.  A recent article entitled “Organic Chemistry: A Call to Action for Diversity and Inclusion” highlights some advice for how we as individuals and as a community can take action. Additionally, the DOC has Adopted an Anti-Harassment Policy.

The National Organic Chemistry Symposium is the premier event sponsored by the Division of Organic Chemistry to highlight recent advances in organic chemistry, and provides a breadth of programming and opportunities that you won’t want to miss. Please plan to join us in 2023!
