Cal ACS returns to the Bay Area Science Festival’s Discovery Day at Oracle Park with more fun, hands-on chemistry activities. You can recreate Alessandro Volta’s original electrical pile, and discovery more wonders of the Marvelous Metals as we celebrate this year’s National Chemistry Week theme. Help us share the excitement of science with the public as we recognize the 150th anniversary of the Mendeleyev’s Periodic Table.
We’ll be there with more than 200 community organizations and laboratories celebrating every facet of science and technology. This is your chance to roam the SF Giant’s home field for free!

Introducing the Bay Area Chemistry Symposium, a Silicon Valley and California ACS-sponsored symposium on Synthesis and Design in Medicinal and Process Chemistry
Friday, November 8th, 2019
This symposium, unique in the Bay, will provide an ideal forum to meet and exchange ideas covering themes in chemical biology, synthesis, and computational chemistry among students, postdocs, and industrial chemists.
The symposium will feature:
- Keynote seminars from Stanford Professor Carolyn Bertozzi, UCSF Professor Bill DeGrado, and UC Berkeley Professor Richmond Sarpong
- Industrial chemistry seminars from AbbVie, Gilead, Merck, and Novartis
- Eight graduate student and postdoc short talks
- Poster presentations by graduate students, postdocs, and industrial chemists from renowned institutions and companies around the Bay Area
Please join us to network with local chemists and learn about cutting-edge chemistry happening across the Bay Area’s outstanding academic institutions and biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies.
The first Bay Area Chemistry Symposium is being hosted by the Merck Research Labs at 213 East Grand Avenue in South San Francisco.
