The ACS Division of Chemical Information (CINF) is committed to promoting the generation of, access to, and use of the world's knowledgebase in chemistry and the related sciences.
The Division fosters the sharing of expertise in science informatics, information technology, and librarianship to ensure members benefit from the experience of others and are able to improve the dissemination and utilization of scientific information. We do this through innovative, high quality programming, education, career mentoring, collaboration and outreach, and recognition of excellence.
I've posted photos from the CINF events at last week's ACS meetings in Boston on the official CINF Flickr site: http://www.flickr.com/photos/cinf Great thanks to Wendy Warr for adding her photos to the ones that I took! The first five sets in the 2010 collection are from the Fall meeting (the other four sets are from the Spring meeting): http://www.flickr.com/photos/cinf/collections/72157623720105234/ Please feel free to add comments, tags, notes, etc., to the photos. The settings for all photos have been changed to allow any Flickr user to do so, and if you are not a Flickr member, it is both free and easy. Enjoy! Best regards, Greg Banik Bio-Rad Informatics Division General Manager and ACS CINF Chair-Elect
