At #ACSFall2025, 13 researchers working at pharmaceutical giants and small biotech firms revealed the structures of their drug candidates and shared each molecule’s journey from initial discovery campaign to the clinic. cen.acs.org/pharmaceutic... #chemsky 🧪
"More concrete collaboration between academia, industry, government, and business entities. In academia it's always, 'We're doing things in a bubble.' So, having a better understanding of real world problems will let us come up with real world solutions, in real time." - Dr. Stefan France.
What's one thing that needs to change for chemistry degrees for the future? In this episode of Stereo Chemistry, we are featuring a panel discussion from #ACSFall2025. Listen now: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/b... #chemsky
"Not only someone who has the right technical skills to be able to come in and do the job that needs to be done, but someone who also has both innate flexibility and curiosity. Having the agility to say, 'Not only can I do that, I want to do that.'" - Dr. John Gavenonis
In this bonus episode of Stereo Chemistry, we are featuring a panel discussion from #ACSFall2025 about the skills chemists should have for the future. Our panelist John Gavenonis highlights the importance of flexibility and curiosity: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/b... #chemsky
"At our particular institute I can see how the main science is needed, but I'm finding that myself and my colleagues need to add on a bit more extra knowledge from other areas to enhance what you can do from a chemical sciences perspective".
What skills should trained chemists have for the future? Dr. Victor Olet recently joined C&EN's Future of Chemistry Degrees Panel at #ACSFall2025, you can listen to the full discussion wherever you get your podcasts: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/b... #chemsky
