The RSC is embarking on a Roadmap project to help demonstrate how the chemical sciences can tackle and provide innovative solutions to the real and perceived issues facing society. Possible priority areas have already been identified and the RSC are looking to hold a series of workshops in May to further the debate. We are looking for individuals with the expertise and/or an interest in any one of the following exploration workshops:
Date Exploration workshops held at Burlington House, London
9th May Session 1: Improving Human Health & wellbeing
14th May Session 2: Improving Quality of Life: infrastructure, transport, built environment
15th May Session 3: Harnessing and storing energy from Sunlight Session 4: Alternative Feedstocks and Technologies for Chemicals and Fuels
20th May Session 5: Replicating and learning from Nature
21st May Session 6: Forensics and Security
22nd May Session 7: Public Perception
28th May Session 8: Improving Quality of Life: leisure and consumer lifestyle
If you are interested in participating in an exploration workshop, please contact Farrah Bhatti at bhattif@rsc.org by the 30 April. The involvement of the chemical science community is vital to the process and I would appreciate if you could circulate this email to all your committee members and contacts who may be interested. Nominations should include name, interest group/organisation and the chosen exploration workshop.
Interested parties are also encouraged to register for the online roadmap consultation taking place in June. Registration and further information can be found at www.rsc.org/roadmap.

Dr David Kelly of Cardiff University, a long time member of the bioorganic committee and active contributor, unexpectedly passed away on the 13th of February 2008. Dave was a highly active member of the committee and was currently vice-chairman, having made significant contributions in the past as treasurer. It is with sadness that we mourn his loss to the community.
The funeral will be held at Cardiff Crematorium, Thornhill, on Friday 22 February at 2 pm and all are welcome to attend. There will be family flowers only but donations, if desired, will be forwarded to the British Heart Foundation by the funeral directors: D Caesar Jones, 55 Pantbach Road, Rhiwbina, Cardiff CF14 1TW. Alternatively, you may wish to add any donations to the Chemistry School’s which will be sent as a single cheque but with donor’s names attached, in which case make cheques payable to “School of Chemistry, Cardiff University” and send these addressed c/o Professor David Knight.
