  1. Professional Societies, Attending Conferences and Presenting talks (papers)

  2. Patents on the Internet • Official documentation of an invention • Invention means a new material or a new process, or a new application, or a new device • It must be significantly different from any other patents to be granted • Patent applications are sent into government patent office and reviewed by patent examiners • Patent may be granted or not depending on how well you write you application • Patent must be carefully written to prevent others from copying your idea with slight changes not described in you patent. • Patents are granted in China, US, Europe and in most countries. International patents are by treaty between countries.

  3. Patents by country • China: The Patent office of the Peoples Republic of China (more patents than any other country in 2012) • United States: www.uspto.gov • International Patents (WPO)

  4. Patents on the Internet • China patents: search at http://www.chinatrademarkoffice.com/index.php/ptsearch • US patents: search patents at http://patft.uspto.gov/ or with Web of Science or Scifinder. • European patents: search at www.epo.org

  5. Searching patents & papers • Patent applications must have documented search of “prior art” • Prior art is patent(s) or paper(s) that publically describe the invention. You cannot get a patent if it has already been patented or published in the literature (even presentations can kill a patent application) • Search to avoid wasting your time and money.

  6. Sharing data on Internet • Rapid movement of information • What used to take days or weeks, now takes seconds • Email, dropboxes, videoconferences, websites, social networking sites can all be used to share data

  7. Dropboxes for large file transfers • Email often is limited by file size • Dropboxes allow convenient sharing with selected audience (good for backing up too) • All of the co-authors on a paper can work on same manuscript www.Dropbox.com www.owncloud.com Icloud www.zumodrive.com www.Spideroak.com (encrypted) www.Wuala.com (encrypted)

  8. Building your professional website • Communication of results • Education of public • Training and teaching students • Description of expertise • Marketing of work A well designed website improves group productivity and helps attract funding for research and development

  9. Building your own website Software that makes it easy:

  10. My research group website: Provide information for my students in lab Easy organization of class notes, practice exams etc. Recruitment of new students to Arizona and my group

  11. Professional “Social” Networks • Linkedin (www.linkedin.com/) • Ushi asias answer to Linkedin • Yahoo! Kickstart is a professional network created by Yahoo! for college students, recent graduates, employers and alumni. The aim of the service is to help students find internships or jobs, or solicit career development advice and mentorship. • Green Chemistry NetworkAsian Analytical Chemistry Network (AACN) • Chemical Consultants Network • ResearchGate.com

  12. Job Hunting

  13. Professional Meetings • American chemical Society • Materials Research Society • International Union of Pure and Applied • Royal Chemical Society • Pacifichem • Gordon Conferences • Zing conferences Each org. has meeting calendars online

  14. ACS Meetings • Two National Meetings (one in Spring, one in late summee: Philadelphia this year) each year • 5 or 6 regional meetings each year • A dozen or more workshops each year • Joint international meetings (e.g. Pacifichem) • Find calls for talks by division (e.g. polymer division) • Typically, deadline is in April for summer meeting and Oct-Nov. for spring meeting

  15. 246th ACS National Meeting & Exposition September 8-12, 2013 Indianapolis, Indiana Program Theme: Chemistry in Motion 247th ACS National Meeting & Exposition March 16-20, 2014 Dallas, Texas 248th ACS National Meeting & Exposition August 10-14, 2014 San Francisco, California

  16. MRS Meetings • Two National Meetings (San francisco Meeting in Spring, Boston in late November) • International MRS meetings (Europe, Asia,etc.) • See MRS calendar at http://www.mrs.org/meetings-calendar/ • Online submission of abstract to symposium (due now for Fall Meeting).

  17. International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) http://www.iupac.org/ Many meetings around the world. IUPAC 9th International Conference on Novel Materials and their Synthesis (NMS-VIII) & 23rd International Symposium on Fine Chemistry and Functional Polymers (FCFP-XXIII), Oct 17-22, 2013 Shanghai,China

  18. Pacifichem 2015 • Honolulu, Hawaii • December 15 - 20, 2015 • http://www.pacifichem.org/ • sponsored jointly by the American Chemical Society, the Canadian Society for Chemistry, the Chemical Society of Japan, the New Zealand Institute of Chemistry, the Royal Australian Chemical Institute, the Korean Chemical Society, and the Chinese Chemical Society.

  19. Gordon Conferences • 500 small, intense topical meetings (e.g. organic synthesis, organometallic chemistry, fuel cells…) • Nobel prize winners & graduates mix together • Most during summer in small New England Colleges (apply in January) • One week long. Morning, afternoon and evening sessions. http://www.grc.org/

  20. How to get a presentation at a Meeting • Two ways to be able to present at a meeting. • Invited talks (someone you know or somebody who heard you speak asks you) • contributed talks (you submit an abstract)

  21. Summary • Many resources on net for communication • Tailored for chemists • Powerful opportunities to help your career • Useful tools for not only conducting research, but: • Publishing scientific papers • Presenting your work at international conferences

  22. Study guide • Name three conferences you could present at. ACS National Meetings, Gordon Conferences, Zing Conferences, MRS National Meetings and MRS Asia meetings, IUPAC conferences • Name Professional chemical associations: ACS, CCS, IUPAC, RCS...etc. • Three reasons for joining a professional society? Networking with scientists. Learning new science. Telling others about your work. All of these help you get funding, get invitations to conferences, to be an editor, to get a good job. • How do you get to present at a conference? One way is to contribute a paper to an announced meeting. Six months before a meeting there will be a call for papers (presentations). You send in your title and abstract and if accepted you can go to conference.
