Pacifichem celebrates the coming together of the chemical societies of far-flung nations, and in so doing, their cultures as well. It is only fitting, then, that in the Pacifichem venue they will discuss the role that chemistry plays in society as a whole. Whether it is supplying the new clean energy sources we need to protect the planet or producing ever better drugs needed to treat neglected diseases and to ebb the tide of antibiotic and chemotherapeutic resistance, novel approaches to chemistry are crucial for every aspect of society. To echo the talks in the “Connecting Chemistry to Society” technical symposium to be held at Pacifichem, ACS Publications is providing a collection of papers that herald the myriad ways in which chemistry affects our lives and culture.
