[QSAR] A Symposium Honoring Yvonne C. Martin 3/25/07 in Chicago

[List for Members of QSAR and Modeling Society]

I wish I could be there to honour Yvonne,  She certainly is the 
"Queen of QSAR" as she was dubbed at the Bournemouth European QSAR 
and Modelling conference a few years ago.  Her contributions to the 
field have been extraordinary. I also send my very best wishes.

>>  In case you are at the ACS in Chicago this week,
>>  please stop by to listen to, and honor, Yvonne C.
>>  Martin. She is retiring after an extraordinary
>>  career (40 years at Abbott Labs), and we are pleased
>>  to have the chance to recognize her tremendous
>>  influence in the areas of computer-aided ligand
>>  design, cheminformatics, QSAR, and drug discovery.
>>
>>  She has shaped the areas of QSAR (after spending
>>  time with Corwin Hansch), structure-based design
>>  (she did influence Tack Kuntz and Peter Kollman),
>>  pharmacophore search (her Alladin lamp influenced
>>  John VanDrie and Dave Weininger) and cheminformatics
>>  (think similarity search post-HTS). Of course, these
>>  are her unseen influences - for those of you who are
>>  curious, you can also reed about her work in books
>>  and publications.
>>
>>  She served as Chair of the QSAR Society, 2000-2005.
>>
>>  Please stop by, if you are at the ACS. There will be
>>  a reception afterwads.
