Thanks for participating in our survey about what you want the new electrochem.org (link to the current site – new site coming in the 4th quarter) to look like. We had over 500 people respond with some great suggestions. Thanks so much! Here’s a little peek inside.
(BTW: We picked a winner for the gift card too, waiting for confirmation and I’ll share the name. Check your email!)
