See you there
I am also planning to submit a research paper for this Congress and apply for the Early Career Chemists Travel Grant. I would update this post when the application was approved. OR NOT.(Update as of May 2, 2015: Although I am just in the second year of my career, my application was declined because what they want is someone in the first permanent position. They should have changed the title to First Chemist Position Travel Grant if that is the case.)
