Abstract

This two-day symposium is organized by CME and NASA with the principal sponsorship of the ACS Division of Polymer Chemistry (POLY). This symposium is part of the five-day ACS Fall 2023 Meeting at the Moscone Convention Center. Over 3,200 STEM professionals and students have attended past CME NASA Symposiums from 2017 to 2022.

A separate free meeting is the CME NASA Sustainability Symposium to be held at a venue TBA.

The CME NASA STEM Events focus on bringing together industry, academia, government, and the public to enlarge and enhance the global STEM talent pool. Events will feature the sustainability of cutting-edge innovations in the chemical sciences to advance human space travel to the solar system and beyond, and translate them into new knowledge to improve the lives of people and make their dreams a reality. Two days packed with inspirational research, industry, jobs, and new STEM career paths.

Honorees

K. Barry Sharpless

Scripps Research Institute

W. M. Keck Professor of Chemistry

Kim Budil

Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory

Director

This fall CME NASA Symposium will present CME Leadership Awards to Kim Budil, 13th Director of the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, and to The Scripps Research Institute Professor Barry Sharpless, Nobel Laureate in 2001 and 2022. Budil directs the groundbreaking activities of a most distinguished center of scientific excellence. Sharpless is arguably the greatest scientist alive today. Of 959 awardees since 1901, only five have received the Nobel Prize twice. Marie Curie (physicist and chemist), Linus Pauling (chemist), John Bardeen (physicist), Frederick Sanger (bio-chemist), and Barry Sharpless (chemist).
