Chemical Information Bulletin © Copyright 2019 by the Division of Chemical Information of the American Chemical Society Chemical Information Bulletin, 2019 71 (3) 2 Letter from the Editor Welcome to another fall issue. Inside you will find information about the CINF social networking events scheduled to take place at the upcoming fall National Meeting of the American Chemical Society, along with the Technical Program with abstracts (please excuse the formatting). We also have Wendy Warr’s report about the 1994 fall meeting in Washington, Bob Buntrock’s review of Applied Chemoinformatics: Achievements and Future Opportunities, and Donna Wrublewski’s interview with Ye Li. For the first time, Donna, Ye, and Steve Wathen will be teaching a pre-ACS workshop titled “Reproducible Data Analysis and Publishing in Chemistry with R” on Saturday, August 24, 2019, 9am-2pm in San Diego, CA. Please contact [email protected] if you are interested attending. More details about the workshop can be found here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-KAa5XWngKH1plRqhMVJ2lb7_edFQJqT/view?usp=sharing. I would like to thank our generous sponsors for supporting our symposia and receptions, and for providing updates on their products and services. I also wish to thank everyone who contributed articles to this issue, as well as those who gave their time to assist with the copyediting. If you are interesting in writing something for an upcoming issue, please contact me or another CIB editor. The winter and summer issues that follow the national meetings are usually packed with symposium reports, so articles for the spring and fall issues are particularly welcome. I hope to see many of you here in San Diego! Teri M. Vogel [email protected] Notice It was reported on CHMINF-L that longtime CINF member William G. (Bill) Town passed away in June. Bill was awarded the CINF Meritorious Service Award in 2008 for outstanding contributions to the division. He was a division chair, served on a number of CINF committees (including Awards, Program, and Publications), and programmed symposia for multiple national meetings. A tribute to Bill and his contributions to CINF will be included in an upcoming issue. (Picture of Bill Town, from Baykoucheva. S.; A Career in Chemistry and Chemical Information? Interview with Bill Town, Chair of the CINF Publications Committee. Chem. Info. Bull. 2009, 61(1), 16-17. https://acscinf.org/content/career- chemistry-and-chemical-information.) Chemical Information Bulletin, 2019 71 (3) 3 Message the Program Chair Please register and attend our awesome CINF Division program at the San Diego meeting, August 25 – 28, at the Omni San Diego Hotel at 675 L St, San Diego, CA. You will have your choice of over 170 speakers. There will be three symposia every day, Sunday through Wednesday, along with a new workshop on Saturday, “Reproducible Data Analysis and Publishing in Chemistry with R.” We will recognize the 2019 Herman Skolnik Award recipient Dr. Kimito Funatsu for his contributions to structure elucidation, de novo structure generation, and applications of cheminformatics methods to materials design and chemical process control. Topics for our other symposia include text-mining, natural language processing, patent novelty searching, student success, chemical nomenclature, drug discovery, data visualization, open- source tools, materials informatics, extended reality, machine learning, artificial intelligence, crystal structures, and web-based databases. Details are in this Chemical Information Bulletin (CIB) and on our website with updates in the online planner - see https://plan.core-apps.com/acs_sd2019/customScreen/aboutShowPhoenix. Thank you to past program planners, organizers, and speakers. I want especially to acknowledge Erin Davis who was a dynamic chair and has been a long-term program organizer in the area of drug discovery informatics. Tony Williams has also put together amazing programs in the areas of open chemistry databases and sharing content. Michael Qiu has done a wonderful job taking care of the logistics of our social events, ordering the best food, and working with conference staff to ensure it is what we want. Sadly, Erin, Tony and Michael will be taking a break from organizing, and we wish them the best in their future endeavors! ACS CINF is not a lifetime commitment. Join us when you can because it takes many hands to develop an excellent program. If you will be at the upcoming San Diego national meeting, attend the Program Committee meeting on Saturday August 24, from 12:30 – 2:00 pm in Gallery 1 in the Omni San Diego Hotel to discuss the future program. Do you want to speak? The Call for Papers for the Spring ACS national meeting in Philadelphia will be open for abstract submission on August 12 - October 14. Please do not wait until the last minute. The Philadelphia meeting will be held March 22 - 26, 2020. Do you have an idea for a great program for future meetings? The symposium ideas can be sent any time via email to committee members or via this Google form at https://forms.gle/BuGwyrwx3RdBWMXGA. The next opportunity for organizing a program will be for the San Francisco meeting in August 2020. If your program is ready to be submitted to the Call for Papers for the San Francisco meeting, please use this Google Form at https://forms.gle/smA6T4Bt1XZhRzGK8. The symposia titles and descriptions will be due in late November 2019. Chemical Information Bulletin, 2019 71 (3) 4 Would you like to join the Program Committee? Current committee members are listed on our website at https://acscinf.org/content/program. We are always looking for people to sort through the ideas, to organize or assist organizers, and to manage the logistics of putting the program together. It is a great way to network and to keep up with the trends in our field. See you at the conference!
