I am baaack! and Boston ACS meeting…
Posted on August 24th, 2010 by Masha PetrovaHello Dear Readers!!
Looong time no blog posts! I apologize for my absence this summer. There has been a LOT of traveling. I promise an update on all that’s been happening with me and with MVP Modeling Solutions in the past 5 months, shortly.
Meanwhile I wanted to give a head’s-up to all of you attending the American Chemical Society Boston meeting this week. I am organizing one of the sessions at the meeting called: Computer Modeling: The Wave of the Future. We have a great variety of wonderful speakers for this session – intention of all of the talks is to provide more information on computer simulation and modeling in sciences and engineering.
Below is the schedule for the talks (to be presented on Thursday, August 26th). We tried to make sure that there is something for everyone at this session – from modeling of bio-materials to information on patenting of computer simulations (which I am personally very interested in hearing).
I hope to see some of you in Boston this week (please say “hi” if you’re there).
Keep an eye out for a “Where has Masha been?” blog post (or maybe even a Vlog (video blog – term learned from my teenage son:)).
Cheers!
