Comparing the two is a bit disingenuous, I think. Still, congrats. You dug yourself into a goldmine.

MRS dues are only $35; MRS bulletin is as good as CEN, and the MRS meetings are actually organized. Plus they have sweet awards.

What has always annoyed me are the huge salaries of the people who are in charge of the ACS! I have always thought that an "International Society of Chemists" should be formed, which is independent of any country. What do you guys think about this idea? Thanks for posting this!

I have always thought that an “International Society of Chemists” should be formed, which is independent of any country.

What do you guys think about this idea?
