ACS National Historic Chemical Landmark
On April 4, 2024, an ACS National Historic Chemical Landmark will be dedicated at our Chemistry building in recognition of the development of stannous
fluoride chemistry that led to the development and commercialization of Crest toothpaste. This will include a permanent plaque in our building.
IUB Chemistry will host a scientific symposium on the same day that will be open to the public. The goal of the symposium is to enhance the scientific
impact of this dedication event, especially for our current students, to feel a connection with the important chemical research of the past, present, and
future in our Department.
| Symposium Speakers | Background |
|---|---|
| Paul Sagel | Procter & Gamble |
| Dave Williams | Indiana University |
| Silas Cook | Indiana University |
| Thomas Lectka | Johns Hopkins University |
| Doug Stephan | University of Toronto |
| Tom Snaddon | Indiana University |
| Nikki Pohl | Indiana University |
| Véronique Gouverneur | Oxford University |
Information about the symposium will be updated on this website. Additionally, use the link below to access the registration form.
The landmark dedication ceremony will be presided over by Indiana University President Pamela Whitten and 2024 ACS President Mary Carroll, an alumna of our Department. We will also have representatives from Procter & Gamble in attendance, as well as other leaders from IU.
In addition, there will be special outreach activities at the IU ScienceFest on Saturday, April 6th, 2024 (scheduled in proximity to the solar eclipse in Bloomington on April 8th).
