Section Q: The Electrochemical Society’s Secret Society of Shenanigans

250 meetings over 124 years; that’s a lot of gatherings and a lot of science. But it wasn’t all work. Here are some memorable examples of some of the entertainment that meeting participants enjoyed.*

Section Q hatches

In 1907, The Electrochemical Society (ECS) agreed that sections should give members opportunities for “having papers read and discussions on technical subjects.” The earliest sections formed in Philadelphia, New York City, and Madison, WI. But not every section was interested in technical discussions. (more…)
