The Organization provides several of these meetings each year. Membership in the Boston Society includes scientists involved in every area of research and development from academic, industrial, and governmental laboratories. Their interests include advancement of techniques and instrumentation, synthesis, and the full spectrum of activities necessary to discover and develop novel entities and technologies.
