BOSTON REGIONAL INORGANIC COLLOQUIUM (BRIC)
BRIC History
Wayne Lo and William Armstrong started hosting BRIC meetings back in June 2004 at Boston College aiming to forge connections between the islands of Inorganic Chemistry throughout our region. Early and consistent, strong faculty supporters include Elena Rybak-Akimova, Linda Doerrer, Roy Planalp, Rein Kirss, Dean Wilcox and Mark Turnbull among others. Over the years, BRIC meetings, which are all locally organized, have been held at ~ 20 Universities - as far as Dartmouth to the north, Yale to the south, and U. Mass, Amherst to the west, as well as at Mass General Hospital and the Strem Chemical campus in Newburyport.
​
BRIC is a welcoming and inclusive community promoting the sharing of ideas among inorganic chemists and non-inorganic chemists alike. BRIC meetings have greatly enhanced the educational experience of graduate students throughout the region and we hope that it will continue to do so for the foreseeable future.
