Dear members of the MARM community, The organizing committee of the 2020 Middle Atlantic Regional Meeting, that was to be held June 12-13, 2020 at the CUNY Graduate Center and St. John’s University, has been monitoring the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak. Unfortunately, the decision has been made to terminate MARM 2020 in the interest of the health and safety for all of our invited speakers, poster presenters, exhibitors, and attendees. While it is unfortunate that we can’t present MARM 2020, our hearts go out to the real people impacted by COVID-19. We wish to thank all of our session organizers for their hard work in building an exciting and dynamic program for MARM 2020 and the American Chemical Society staff, Shantesse Dortch and Kim Savage, for their expert guidance in organizing this regional meeting . We also sincerely appreciate the support of the New York Section of the ACS, our fellow scientific society collaborator [Society of Cosmetic Chemists], our industrial exhibitors [Advion, Dotmatics, Chem101, TA Instruments, Heidolph Instruments, and Vernier], our academic exhibitors [Columbia University Chemical Engineering MS program, CUNY PhD Programs in Chemistry and Biochemistry, University of Delaware Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, University of Pennsylvania Master of Chemical Science, Stony Brook University, and York College – CUNY], and our program sponsors [ACS Division of Organic Chemistry, ACS Womens Chemists Committee, and Firmenich] for their generous support. Sincerely, Alison Hyslop, General Co-Chair Joseph Serafin, General Co-Chair Brian R. Gibney, Program Chair ********************************************************************************************* VISIT CONFERENCE WEBSITE |
