American Chemical Society
The American Chemical Society Bridge Program (ACS-BP) assists underrepresented minority (URM) students with getting into and succeeding in graduate school.
Students, who have not applied to graduate school or have applied but were unsuccessful, or would benefit from additional coursework and research experience, are eligible to apply. Applications will be circulated to select chemical science departments that have committed to partnering with the ACS Bridge Program, at no cost to the students. As the new semester begins, please refer any eligible students to www.acs.org/bridge to learn more about the program and apply. Deadline for students to apply for the Bridge Program is April 1!

In recent weeks, coronavirus led to the shutdown of many university campuses and other institutions for research and learning in the U.S. and around the world.
There’s always work that you can do from home. But parts of the scientific process can only be completed in the lab, or at another location where fieldwork or other hands-on research occurs. What’s a scientist to do when it’s time to put some of their experiments on the shelf?

It was in 1906 that Dr. Alois Alzheimer first identified abnormalities in cerebral parenchyma of a patient that had a novel behavioral disease process. Symptomatology included but was not limited to loss of memory, difficulty with speech and alterations in behavior. He found abnormally clustered cells and bundled fibers (amyloid plaques and tau tangles) in the brain tissue. Progress has been made over the last century, but the root causes, early diagnosis, treatment and prevention still elude our best and brightest scientists.

As the coronavirus outbreak roils university campuses across the world, early-career scientists are facing several dilemmas. Many are worrying about the survival of cell cultures, laboratory animals, and other projects critical to their career success. And some are reporting feeling unwelcome pressure to report to their laboratories — even if they don’t think it’s a good idea, given that any gathering can increase the risk of spreading the virus.

"What can I do to help?”
It’s a question that many scientists are asking as numerous research labs close their doors around the world. While scientists can write manuscripts, carry out data analysis, and plan for future experiments remotely, it’s hard to focus on research during the COVID-19 pandemic.
If you’re a scientist and want to help right now, here are 10 ways to use your skills and expertise.
