Don't skip over anything on this page! We have special sessions you wouldn't get at a normal live SciX, we have networking opportunities throughout the virtual meeting, and we have special international programming from four FACSS member societies. Access links will be available through the virtual meeting website: you must be registered and logged in to participate. |
Special Sessions (SCix in beta)We've laid out a great live technical program and hours of on-demand content to go with it, but we're also making space for some extra-special sessions during SciX. Come beta test these additional sessions designed to grab your interest during program intermissions. Too busy? No problem, you can stay focused on the technical sessions and skip this bonus content; build your SciX participation in a way that best suits you! All times in Eastern Daylight Time. You must be a paying SciX registrant to get access to the event platform and unlock links to the activities below.

Spectroscopists in Industry: The Multi-Generational Impact of Clara Craver Tuesday, October 13 from 4:30 - 5:00 pm The Coblentz Society has undertaken an effort to record the reminiscences of some of our senior members. Because Clara Craver was instrumental in the formation of the Society, initial efforts have centered around recording memories of Clara and the vibrational spectroscopy community when Clara was active. These interviews, with people who knew Clara well, are the basis of Spectroscopists in Industry: The Multi-Generational Impact of Clara Craver.

International SessionsA constant refrain in the virtual conference universe is that varying time zones make it difficult for people across the globe to participate equally. SciX is actively trying to address the issue by offering plenty of on demand content and making live content available as an archive post-meeting; by being mindful of session start and end times to cast the widest net across time zones; and, most importantly, by offering special international sessions in other time zones. The following sessions are included in your SciX registration and open to everyone!
