WebMO ACS Symposium Report
Nineteen speakers made presentations at the "WebMO: The First 25 Years" Symposium held at the Fall 2025 ACS National Meeting in Washington DC on August 18 2025.
Many examples were given of using WebMO to teach chemistry, promote research, support consortia, and interact with other interfaces.
