Members are the ROI at ECS

ECS empowers researchers at the forefront of discovery

Marm Dixit was a grad student at the 236th ECS Meeting in Atlanta, GA. John Goodenough, M. Stanley Whittingham, and Akira Yoshino had just won the 2019 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for developing lithium ion batteries.

“A couple of my friends and I were getting coffee. Stan (Whittingham) was in line in front of us. So for the 15 minutes, till we got our coffee, we discussed batteries with the Nobel laureate. That’s pretty damn awesome and really fascinating,” said Marm who is now Weinberg Distinguished Staff Fellow at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. (more…)

ECS Statement on Ukraine

The Executive Committee of The Electrochemical Society wishes to express our collective shock and dismay at the appalling actions unfolding in Ukraine. Although the Society’s mission is not political, we feel compelled to share this statement because what we have seen is a humanitarian tragedy, launched without provocation or regard to the needless suffering the invasion of sovereign Ukraine has caused.

ECS will not sponsor or otherwise financially support events and institutions operating within the Russian Federation until such time that they have withdrawn their forces and made restoration, to the extent possible, for the damage inflicted on the Ukrainian people. (more…)
