The car was lighter than other electric cars and used twelve lead acid batteries designed by Thomas Edison who famously drove a Baker. In New York City\, there were 15\,000 on the streets and charging stations scattered throughout the area. Cleveland architect Frank B Meade designed the Baker Electric Building for Walter C Baker as his car showroom in 1910. Rohrheimer-Brooks\, Cleveland’s top interior design studio\, designed and decorated the showrooms and associated spaces. Faced with competition from gasoline-powered automobiles production ceased in 1919. The building was listed on the National Register for Historic Places in 2007 and was redeveloped into a LEED Silver certified tech incubator providing 52\,000 square feet of office and wet/dry laboratory space for emerging local companies. In 2010\, the city of Cleveland installed the city’s first public electric vehicle recharging station. \nHere is a video with Jay Leno showing off the Baker Electric from his collection. \nSpeaker Biography: \nEric Rivet\, Curator WRHS \nEric Rivet has been a Curator of Collections and Exhibits at the WRHS since 2015. His responsibilities include planning and installing exhibitions that highlight the rich and diverse history of the region. Previously\, he was a Curator at The National WWII Museum in New Orleans and holds a Bachelor of Arts in History from Louisiana State University.

SUMMARY:2023 Edward W. Morley Award Address and Dinner
DESCRIPTION:Join us as we celebrate the 2023 winner of the Edward W. Morley award\, Prof. Ryan Bailey of the University of Michigan. \nRegistration by June 22 \nThursday June 29th Michaelson & Morley Restaurant\, Veale Center\nCase Western Reserve University\n\n\nDr. Ryan Bailey\, Robert A. Gregg Professor\, Department of Chemistry\, University of Michigan\n\nMultiplexed Biomarker Analysis to Improve Diagnostics of Infections and Infectious Disease\nThe concept of precision medicine is predicated on an ability to comprehend a patient’s disease state in a highly informed manner that ideally illuminates an effective treatment strategy. While commonly discussed in the context of diseases that progress relatively slowly\, such as cancer\, where genotyping has proven valuable in understanding somatic mutations\, the application of precision medicine to infections and infectious diseases can be more challenging—especially for rapidly progressing conditions. To this end\, our group is developing multiple technologies that aim to increase the depth of biomarker analysis that can be performed in a clinical laboratory setting. One such technology leverages well-established semiconductor fabrication methods to create highly multiplexed and robust silicon photonic biosensor arrays that are extremely sensitive and readily scalable to emerging challenges in point-of-care clinical diagnostics. Furthermore\, the rapidity and multi-marker analytical capabilities of this technology assays offer benefits over conventional clinical diagnostic tools. In this talk I will discuss applications of this technology in the early detection of acute infections\, longitudinal monitoring of emergent infections\, and stratifying the risk of latent disease reactivation.\n\nSocial with drinks: 5:30pm\nDinner: 6:15pm \nMorley Award Presentation and Address: 7:15 – 8:30pm\n\nFirst Course: \n\nHouse Salad – mixed greens\, kalamata\, feta\, red onion\, tomato\, cucumber\, red-wine vinaigrette\n\n\nEntree choice of:\n\nGrilled Faroe Island Salmon – roasted fingerling potatoes\, grilled asparagus\nGrilled Strip Steak – rosemary potato puree\, broccolini\, chimichurri sauce\nRoasted Airline Chicken Breast – roasted tomato\, spinach\, roasted sweet potato\, cranberry\,\nbeurre blanc\nWild Mushroom Tart – caramelized leeks\, almond cream\, baby carrot\, beet reduction\n\n\n\nDessert Course:\n\nchocolate mousse dome\n\nRegistration:

SUMMARY:2023 Meeting in Miniature (MIM)
DESCRIPTION:This year’s Meeting in Miniature (MIM) of the Cleveland Section will be held Wed. March 15 at Baldwin Wallace University \n3pm: registration\, Knowlton Atrium \n3:20-6:00pm: Technical sessions (Abstract submission by Mar. 6) \n6:15pm: Keynote\, Telfer 115 (see below) \n7:30pm: Buffet dinner\, Knowlton Atrium  \n8:15pm: Student awards presentation\, Knowlton Atrium  \n  \n\n\n\nKeynote Speaker: Markus J. Buehler\, McAfee Professor of Engineering\, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (https://meche.mit.edu/people/faculty/mbuehler@mit.edu) \n \nProtein Counterpoint in Music Human creativity has advanced the way we understand the world\, including scientific and artistic work. However\, until now\, the convergent use of disparate knowledge bases has remained elusive\, especially connecting art & science. In this talk I will present recent research to achieve such translations\, whereby salient relationships are discovered in an unsupervised fashion\, without knowledge of pairing or domain\, thereby expanding the concept of bio-inspiration to encompass vast swaths of human creativity and knowledge. The method is demonstrated in the reversible\, bidirectional translation of musical data (based on Bach’s Goldberg Variations published in 1741) to protein sequences\, discovered in a fully autonomous manner. The general method has broader applications for other discovery platforms in a variety of engineering\, scientific\, cultural\, artistic\, and environmental data\, opening possibilities for further experimental and computational studies of chemistry and chemical engineering. Speaker bio: Markus J. Buehler is the McAfee Professor of Engineering at MIT (an Institute-wide Endowed Chair)\, a member of the Center for Materials Science and Engineering\, and the Center for Computational Science and Engineering at the Schwarzman College of Computing. He holds academic appointments in Mechanical Engineering and Civil and Environmental Engineering. In his research\, Professor Buehler pursues new modeling\, design and manufacturing approaches for advanced biomaterials that offer greater resilience and a wide range of controllable properties from the nano- to the macroscale. His interests include a variety of functional material properties including mechanical\, optical and biological\, linking chemical features\, hierarchical and multiscale structures\, to performance in the context of physiological\, pathological and other extreme conditions. An expert in computational materials science and AI\, he pioneered the field of materiomics\, and demonstrated broad impacts in the study of mechanical properties of complex materials\, including predictive materials design and manufacturing. Between 2013-2020\, Buehler served as Department Head of MIT’s Civil and Environmental Engineering Department. He has held numerous other leadership roles at professional organizations\, including a term as President of the Society of Engineering Science (SES). He received numerous awards\, including the Feynman Prize\, the ASME Drucker Medal\, the J.R. Rice Medal\, and many others. In 2023\, he was elected to the National Academy of Engineering (NAE). Call for Abstracts: A highlight of the MIM is the 10-15 minute talks across all areas of chemistry. Again this year there will be cash awards given for the best undergraduate and graduate student talks. Although awards are given to encourage participation by students\, we welcome talks by all practicing chemists at the MIM. Please limit the abstract to 250 words and include names and affiliations of all authors with the presenting author’s name underlined. Abstracts will be due by Monday\, March 6. An online portal for abstract submissions is now available. \nParking InfoTBA. \nRegistration:

SUMMARY:Sept. 16 (Thurs): Joint Meeting with Akron Section
DESCRIPTION:Thurs. Sept. 16\nBurntwood Tavern\n3750 West Market Street\nFairlawn\, OH 44333\nwith Zoom virtual attendance option \n4:30 Executive committee meeting\n5:30 Social hour\n6:30 Dinner\n7:30 Presentation: \nKevin Cavicchi\, Professor\, School of Polymer Science and Polymer Engineering\, University of Akron \nPutting Rubber Elasticity to Work in Smart Materials \nThe ability to program a stimuli-responsive shape-change into a material is of significant interest for remotely deployable devices and sensors across a range of industries\, such as aerospace\, packaging\, and medicine. Polymers are an ideal material to use for this endeavor due to their ease of undergoing elastic deformation. This talk will discuss different approaches to develop of shape memory polymers\, where elastic deformation is locked into a temporary shape that recovers upon the application of a stimulus\, and reversible actuators\, where a rubbery polymer matrix is dilated and contracted due the volume change of incorporated additive. Approaches using blending of commodity materials to obtain synergistic results will be presented along with novel polymers synthesized using ion-pair comonomers. Finally\, approaches to 3D print more complex geometrical structures to take advantage of the programmable shape changes in these materials will be discussed. \nBio \nKevin Cavicchi is a Professor in the School of Polymer Science and Polymer Engineering at the University of Akron. His research group is interested in the structure-property-processing relationships of nanostructured soft-matter including small molecule organogels\, ionomers\, block copolymers\, and their blends using commercial polymers and in-house synthesized polymers prepared by reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) and anionic polymerization. A central interest is in the fabrication of shape memory and reversibly actuating materials through in-situ polymerization\, casting\, molding\, and additive manufacturing. \nBorn and raised in Reading\, MA\, Kevin attended Cornell University where he received a BS in Materials Science and Engineering. He completed his PhD in Materials Science and Engineering at the University of Minnesota and was a post-doctoral fellow in the Department of Polymer Science and Engineering at UMASS-Amherst before joining the Department of Polymer Engineering at the University of Akron in January 2006. \nKevin received the Polymer Networks Group Young Investigator Award in 2014\, the William C. Zekan Memorial Award from the Akron Section of the Society of Plastics Engineers in 2017\, a Distinguished Service Award from the Division of Polymer Chemistry of the American Chemical Society in 2019\, and the Sparks-Thomas Young Investigator Award from the Rubber Division of the American Chemical Society in 2021. He was named a Fellow of the American Chemical Society in 2019 and a Fellow of the Division of Polymer Chemistry of the American Chemical Society in 2020. \nIn person attendance with dinner – $20 for members and guests\, $10 for retired or unemployed members\, FREE for students\nVirtual attendance via Zoom – FREE (register to receive the link) \nchoice of: lobster bisque\, house salad or caesar salad\nEntree\, choice of: cedar salmon\, asiago crusted chicken\, sirloin\, fish and chips or tavern dip \nAlthough Cleveland ACS will not mandate vaccination or masking to attend our face-to-face meetings\, we expect everyone to act in an appropriate manner to respect the health of all our attendees. \nRegistration:

SUMMARY:2021 Edward W. Morley Award and Address\, May 19
DESCRIPTION:May 19\, 2021\n\nExec committee meeting 5:30\nPresentation 7:00 pm\n\n \nDavid N. Beratan\, R.J. Reynolds Distinguished Professor of Chemistry\, Chemistry\, Trinity College of Arts & Sciences\, Duke University is the 2021 Morley Medal winner. \nBiology Meets Quantum Mechanics: The Molecular Foundations of Bioenergetics \nThe dual (wave-particle) nature of matter is not usually required to describe the function of living systems. Yet\, energy capture and conversion in biology rely on the delivery of electrons with sub-nanometer precision. As such\, quantum phenomena take center stage. I will discuss studies that have helped to establish an understanding of how the flow of electrons is directed and regulated in living systems with fine spatial precision and\, in some cases\, very high energy efficiency. Physical principles emerging from these investigations allow us to understand some of the broader principles that underpin the function of nanoscale machines derived from soft-wet matter. The electron transport reactions on which I will focus are ubiquitous in living systems\, powering life from archaea to bacteria to plants to us. The principles being learned\, intriguing in their own right\, are also motivating the design of synthetic bioinspired machinery that may begin to mimic the extraordinary function of living systems. \nRegistration:\n\nRegistrants will be sent a link to the meeting

SUMMARY:April 21\, 2021 Education Night Meeting
DESCRIPTION:April 21\, 2021\n\nExec committee meeting 5:30\nPresentation 7:00 pm\n\n\n\nTitle: ACS Physical Chemistry Exam Creation Process\n\n\n\nDr. Chrystal Bruce is a Professor of Chemistry at John Carroll University. She received her PhD  in Physical Chemistry from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Her research focuses on small molecule-protein and small molecule-DNA interactions\, the teaching and learning of chemistry\, and the importance of mentoring in the professional advancement of science faculty. Currently\, she is the co-chair of the American Chemical Society Examinations Institute Physical Chemistry 2021 Exam Committee\, co-PI on an NSF ADVANCE grant\, and a member of the MERCURY Consortium for Computational Physical Chemists at primarily undergraduate institutions.\n  \nDr. Bruce will speak on the process by which a committee of faculty works to create the suite of Physical Chemistry exams produced by the American Chemical Society Examinations Institute. ACS Exams are administered by higher education institutions across the country. Most chemistry students have taken at least one\, either as a summative assessment as an undergraduate or as an entrance exam as a graduate student. The exams are independently created by a committee of chemistry faculty. Dr. Bruce will discuss the process of writing and evaluating the exam items as well as how the final version of the released  exams are set for the current iteration of the Physical Chemistry 2021 ACS Exams suite.\n\n\nRegistration:\n\nRegistrants will be sent a link to the meeting

SUMMARY:February 2021 Meeting: Chemistry Trivia Night!
DESCRIPTION:Executive Committee Meeting 5:30 pm\, Trivia begins 7:00 pm. \n \nA NEW EVENT!  In a departure from our normal meeting format\, instead of a speaker we’ll do a CHEMISTRY BAR TRIVIA COMPETITION!  Attendees will log onto an online quiz-hosting site and participate in a three-round trivia quiz\, emceed by the Section Chair.  There will be 15 questions per round\, and speed counts!  Participants will be vying for prizes:  gift cards of $100\, $50\, and $25 for the top three scorers. \nHere’s how it will work:  Registrants for the meeting will receive a Zoom link and a crowdpurr.com URL and quiz code for the event (so you’ll either need two browser windows open simultaneously or have two devices open).  Players will sign on to the crowdpurr.com site with their name\, and will access the correct contest using the code.  The pacing of the contest will be controlled by the emcee\, who will communicate verbally through Zoom.  Players will have 15 seconds to select their answer – the faster you answer\, the more points you get!  There will be a short break between the rounds.  Winners will be the top three cumulative point-scorers.  So brush up on your chemical trivia\, and good luck! \nRegistration in advanced is required\nRegistration:\n\nRegistrants will be sent a link to the meeting

SUMMARY:January 2021 Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Executive Committee Meeting 5:30 pm\, Talk 7:00 pm \nDr. Andrea Giordano\, Assistant Professor at the United States Air Force Academy\, “Ma’am\, class reports ready to learn”: Insights into the chemistry curriculum and research opportunities at the United States Air Force Academy \nThe United States Air Force Academy is a unique institution in higher education\, as its mission is to educate and train future military officers.  This presents cadets with many opportunities from flying gliders to working on classified research projects. The chemistry department offers three ACS certified degree tracks\, including a required research experience. In many ways\, the academics are similar to other civilian institutions and encourages innovative curricula and pedagogies. The physical chemistry curriculum is undergoing a major revision to support the biochemistry majors only taking one semester of physical chemistry. In addition to content reorganization\, the curriculum integrates skills through relevant primary literature\, oral examinations\, and mindfulness practices to prepare the cadets for their future as chemists and as Air Force officers. Our department offers a plethora of research opportunities\, from traditional benchtop research to Air Force applications and classified research\, allowing cadets to find a project that aligns with their interests. Many cadets elect to continue their research projects and similar to other civilian institutions\, our cadets deliver conference presentations and author publications to disseminate their work. While the US Air Force Academy’s mission is to educate and train future military officers\, the chemistry curriculum and research opportunities are similar to other civilian institutions. \nRegistration:\n\nRegistrants will be sent a link to the meeting
