Welcome to the Mojave Desert Local Section Home Page. Our section encompasses the geographical area from Bishop to Rosamond, California. We are one of the 189 Local Sections of the American Chemical Society. ACS Local Sections promote public awareness of chemistry by being involved in community outreach programs and by working with students of chemistry and science. We hope to encourage an interest in the chemical sciences.
If you areinterested in becoming more active in our local section please e-mail MojaveDesertACS@aol.com to be included on our "volunteers list." Our section can only do as many activities as we have volunteers to help coordinate! If you have an idea or activity that you would like to see implemented in our section volunteer to help coordinate it and help make your dream into reality.
