Jon Trullinger and Matthew Van Vorst win 3rd place in the poster competition at regional ACS meeting sponsored by Syngenta in Greensboro, NC
Over 200 colleagues attended 10th Annual Poster Vendor Night Exhibit which was held at Syngenta on April 13th. This event drew the largest attendance for a technical meeting hosted by the Central NC Section of the ACS. Sixteen vendors displayed their products and forty-eight posters highlighting chemical research in the Triad, RTP and Charlotte regions were presented. The local section awarded prizes for the best student posters. The judging process was difficult because of the high quality of all of the student posters.
