" Reinventing Chemistry "- Dec. 8 2010, 2:00 pm - Halle aux Farines Chemistry, and the world of science and technology of which it is a part, are changing dramatically. Biology, materials, nanotechnology, and other less familiar/popular areas offer opportunities; the decline in invention in the chemical industry, and of productivity in the pharmaceutical industry, limit opportunities. One future for chemistry is the emergence of new fields; another is absorption by other disciplines. Every area of science faces periods of maturation and reinvention. What are the indicators for chemistry at this time? Does the history of other fields offer useful lessons?
