Recently UC Davis Chemistry Professor R. David Britt was honored to represent the US ACS Bader Award winners at the 100th Birthday Memorial Symposium for Alfred R. Bader at his Chemistry alma mater of Queen’s University in Kingston Ontario.

The Queen’s University International Student Chapter of the American Chemical Society (Q-ACS) was excited to host the first-ever Bader Symposium on Monday, November 18th, 2024 at the Isabel Bader Centre for the Performing Arts to celebrate the 100th birthday of the late Dr. Alfred R. Bader this year.

In addition to founding the Aldrich Chemical Company, which through a series of mergers became MilliporeSigma, Dr. Bader was a transformative benefactor of chemistry, the arts, and philanthropy worldwide. This free-of-charge symposium featured keynote and plenary speakers from chemistry and the arts, the Bader Graduate Student and Postdoctoral Scholar Lectures, a multidisciplinary poster session, and an artistic/musical exhibition.
