A Half Hour of Q & A
Deborah Smith is a social media marketing consultant, speaker and trainer. Deborah got her start in social media 12 years ago when she launched her ecommerce business which operates a network of websites serving the Nanny Industry. She began employing email groups, chat rooms and online message boards as marketing and networking tools well before the term "Social Media" was ever conceived. When the new tools like Blogs, Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn emerged, Deborah was an early adopter and soon mastered these tools for her own business.
The presentation will be on using LinkedIn. LinkedIn is the most professional of all the Social Media platforms; however, it is also one of the hardest to master. In this 90 minute workshop, the basics will be covered to get you looking good and proactively using LinkedIn to develop contacts and build your brand.

The mission of the MWCC is to strengthen the contribution of women
in the chemical sciences. We serve early and midcareer scientists
through programming and invite graduate and undergraduate students
to participate.
Our Goals:
To promote networking and information sharing amongst women in
the chemical sciences. We plan to do this by
Sponsoring a Women Chemists Committee luncheon at each
ACS MARM Meeting.
Hosting a networking meeting in North Jersey each fall
that includes the opportunity for younger scientists
to give short research presentations
To provide outreach and career programming to undergraduate students by
Hosting meetings in conjunction with student affiliate groups
in the North Jersey area

The Gift of Mentoring

Apr 8, 2010
By
Sarah Carberry (MWCC Public Relations Representative)
The NJACS Metro Women's Chemist Committee held a joint meeting with
the Central Jersey AWIS chapter on April 8th at Fairleigh-Dickinson
Campus in Madison, NJ. Approximately 40 women attended the meeting
which revolved around the” Gift of Mentoring” and began
with dinner and networking. The guest speaker was Dr. Sherrie
Pietranico-Cole who is currently a Research Leader and Chemistry
Project Leader in Discovery Chemistry at Roche. She spoke about
the many mentors that had changed her lives and how she has mentored
others during her career. She spoke about growing up in Harlem and
the journey she took from her humble roots to the Douglass College
then to the University of Pennsylvania where she became the first
African-American women to complete a Ph.D. in chemistry. A panel
of four successful mentors then spoke of their experiences and took
questions from the group. The panel included the guest speaker Dr.
Sherrie Pietranico-Cole along with Dr. Molly E. Hoke, Dr. Catherine
M. Duckett, and Mrs. Maureen Chan. The panel shared their views
and strategies for mentoring students and peers as well as how to
seek out a mentor during the different stages of life.
The evening concluded with the ACS MWCC presenting the first annual
MWCC Mentoring Award to Ms. Jeannette Brown. Ms. Brown has been a
mentor to countless men and women throughout her life, including
the guest speaker of the evening Dr. Pietranico-Cole. She is a
50-year member of the ACS and has won numerous awards and grants;
the most recent was a Heritage Foundation grant for the initial
research for the book she is writing about the history of African
American Women Chemists. She is truly a wonderful role model and
certainly deserving of the inaugural MWCC Mentoring Award.

The Chemistry of Chocolate: A Chocolate Tasting and Networking Event
–
Jan 28, 2010
By Sarah Carberry (MWCC Public Relations Representative)
On January 28th 2010 the ACS Metro Women's Chemist Committee held their winter meeting at The Chocolate Path in Montclair, NJ.There were 35 women present from a variety of scientific backgrounds.Over half of the women were new attendees and most were interested in networking and getting more involved in both the MWCC and the NJ local section.The owner of the store, Susan Fine, gave us an in depth history of chocolate and she rationalized the health benefits of dark chocolate.Chocolate (the dark variety) is actually fairly good for you and is one of the richest sources of antioxidants of any food.She also explained that chocolate is made up of approximately 1,200 different chemicals, which is why it has not yet been synthesized in a laboratory.
When we first arrived we were invited to try some European sipping chocolate and also sampled some of the best sellers; dark chocolate truffles and a panko bread crumb bar.As we learned about the history and health benefits of chocolate we tasted several types of chocolate.The group was a little impatient when he were instructed not to eat the chocolate, we shouldfirst hold the chocolate and rub and smell it, then we could put it in our mouths, but don't chew.We then took a tour around the chocolate world, going from the Ecuador to Madagascar to Granada, and finally we tried a stone-ground chocolate made with beans from the Dominican Republic.We finished with a Kakawa Beans – which are whole roasted cocoa beans coated in layers of white, milk and dark chocolates, then coated in cocoa powder - every form of chocolate in one bite.Everyone had their favorites and we all learned a lot about this tasty health food.Our next meeting will be on April 8th, if you are interested in attending or would like more information

Sept 18, 2009
On Thursday September 18th, 2009, more than twenty women of the Metro
Women Chemists Committee gathered for a networking dinner at Fairleigh
Dickinson University in Madison, NJ. Dr. Kathryn Uhrich, Dean of
Math and Physical Sciences of the School of Arts and Sciences at
Rutgers University and founder of Polymerix Corporation gave an
inspiring and insightful presentation on her road to success. She
shared some professional and personal stories from her career path
and stressed to the group that one person can make a substantial
difference in the lives of others. It was a wonderful opportunity
to meet, interact and network with women in the North Jersey/New
York area.
