Abstract
The US National Committee for IUPAC of the National Academy of Sciences ( i.e. the US NAO) is pleased to announce the following individuals have been selected as 2025 Young Observers to attend the 53rd IUPAC general Assembly and 50th World Chemistry Congress, to be held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, 12-19 July 2025:
Maxx Arguilla, University of California Irvine
Sean Bowen, Incyte Corporation
Ida (Xue) Chen, Dow, Inc.
Luis De Jesús Báez, University at Buffalo
Liang Feng, Duke University
Reza Foudazi, The University of Oklahoma
Melody Morris, University of Massachusetts Amherst
Alexis Myers, National Renewable Energy Laboratory
Hee Jeung Oh, Penn State University
Zhe Qiang, The University of Southern Mississippi
Additionally, two individuals have been selected as 2025 U.S. delegates to the International Younger Chemists Network Assembly and will also attend the IUPAC General Assembly and World Chemistry Congress:
Annabelle Lolinco, ACS/AAAS
Wilson McNeil, UC Berkeley
About the YO Program
Established by the U.S. National Committee (USNC) for IUPAC in 1977 to foster interactions with internationally acclaimed scientists in various fields, the IUPAC Young Observer Program strives to introduce the work of IUPAC to a new generation of distinguished researchers and to provide them with an opportunity to address international science policy issues. The USNC supports the participation of U.S. Observers (citizens or permanent residents) under the age of 45 from industry, academia, and national laboratories in the IUPAC World Chemistry Congress and General Assembly, held every two years. To date, the program has supported more than 230 scientists, many of whom have served on IUPAC committees, technical divisions, and projects, and continue to participate in a variety of international activities in chemistry and allied fields.
About IYCN
Officially launched in 2017, the International Younger Chemists Network (IYCN) as an associated organization of IUPAC, is connecting chemists in the early stages of their careers—specifically less than 35 years old, or within 5 years of completing their chemistry-related training. IYCN strives to spread knowledge, mentorship, and encourage a passion for chemistry within their members and the wider community by building a network of support across the globe. The core objective is to enable a platform for scientific and professional exchange, specifically focused on the needs of early-career chemists.
