About SCALACS
The Southern California Section of the American Chemical Society is comprised of approximately 2700 chemists, chemical engineers, and chemical technicians. Of members who have indicated their workplace, a little under 1/2 are involved in academia – as students or educators, with most of the balance employed in industry.
The Southern California Section* of the American Chemical Society publishes a magazine nearly every month throughout the academic year, entitled SCALACS. Read your SCALACS Magazine to find out what local section activities are scheduled for the upcoming month. Section activities such as special topic dinner meetings, awards banquets, career workshops, etc., are held throughout the year. Plan on coming to an event that interests you – to network with other chemists, or to learn something new about a particular topic. SCALACS Magazine is also a good place to find vendors of supplies and services. The publication of SCALACS Magazine is supported solely by its advertisers, so please give them your business.

*As of January 2003, SCALACS Magazine is a joint publication of the Southern California, Orange County, and San Gorgonio Sections of the American Chemical Society, reaching nearly 5000 chemists. Members from all three sections are welcome to attend any of the announced events, regardless of which local section they belong to.
Besides being the title of our magazine, “SCALACS” (pronounced skay’-lax) is an acronym which stands for Southern California ACS. This acronym refers to the Southern California Local Section of the American Chemical Society.
