"Organic Radical Chemistry:  A Primer"
The Gomberg meeting organizers are pleased to announce a one-day, pre-meeting mini-course: "Organic Radical Chemistry:  A Primer". The course will provide a speedy introduction to organic radical chemistry with an emphasis on structure, mechanism, and synthetic applications. It is designed provide a foundation that will enrich the experience of its students at the subsequent Gomberg Conference.

Learn from the leaders!
Professor Martin E. Newcomb, Wayne State University, an expert in radical kinetics and winner of the 2000 ACS James Flack Norris Award in Physical Organic Chemistry, will cover structure and mechanism.
Professor Dennis P. Curran, University of Pittsburgh, a leader in synthetic radical reaction reactions and winner of the 2000 ACS Award for Creativity in Organic Synthesis, will conver synthesis.

Date and Time
Sunday, June 25th, 10am-4pm (The Gomberg Conference starts at 5:15 pm that evening and runs through Thursday.)
Location
The University of Michigan, exact location will be announced
Fees

Fees include handouts and lunch. The instructors are donating their time, and any excess proceeds will be donated to the Gomberg conference.

Answers to some of your questions:
Who should att end?
The course is geared towards graduate students and postdocs, but anyone interested in getting a quick foundation in organic radical chemistry is welcome. Advanced undergraduates will benefit. The course also is an ideal jump start for industrial chemists who want to learn more about the field.
Do I have to attend the Gomberg meeting to attend the course? No. The course is designed as a primer to enrich your experience at the meeting, but meeting attendance is not required.
