ABSTRACT
Diversity in supramolecular chemistry can showcase itself in many ways. This includes the diversity of thought and topics covered in research (from fundamental science to applications in biology and materials), as well as the diversity of people (e.g. diversity in race, gender, sexual orientation, country of origin, type of higher education institute, career stage, …). At the North American Supramolecular Chemistry (NASC) meetings, we aim to bring together the best that supramolecular chemistry has to offer in North America, create a sense of community and provide a platform for researchers at any stage of their career to present their work. NASC 2023 was the successful second edition of the NASC meeting series, and this proceedings article highlights the research and impressions of some of the speakers at NASC 2023.
