| Princeton,
NJ (April 4, 2003) -- TRI/Princeton announces Dr. Gail R.
Eaton's presentation of TRI/Princeton's history of research
to the Princeton Local Section of the American Chemical Society
(ACS). Dr. Eaton's lecture, "TRI/Princeton - A History
of Research, A Lifetime of Solutions: A Review of TRI's Work
in Textiles, Fibers, Cosmetic Chemistry, and Nanotechnology,"
will highlight various accomplishments from more than 70 years
of TRI research. The meeting will be held on May 15, 2003 at
6:00pm at Princeton University's Frick Laboratories in the DuPont
Seminar Room, Room 324. For directions and additional information,

TRI/Princeton
has been providing clients in industry, government, and academia,
both domestically and abroad, with the scientific expertise
and research necessary to create and enhance the efficacy,
performance, and appeal of their products. At its inception
in 1930, TRI's aim was to help the United States textile industry
in staying competitive; however, over the years, their areas
of scientific study have advanced in response to the ever-changing
needs of their clients and the world.
While
TRI has been successful in a broad cross-section of industries,
the unifying goal behind all of their research is to bridge
the gap between the fundamental and the practical. Using this
as their main focus, TRI's work in everything from paper towels
to blue jeans to carpets to shampoo to military apparel has
helped to change the everyday lives of millions of people.
The need
for important scientific research continues to exist, despite
difficult socioeconomic times. For decades, TRI/Princeton
has proven that first-rate education, research, and quality
are mandatory aspects to modern living.
The Princeton
Local Section of the ACS holds a regular schedule of public
lectures. The year, they are focusing on "local chemistry,"
hosting talks from companies and organizations in Princeton
and the surrounding areas. In recent months the Department
of Food Science at Rutgers University, the Chemical Heritage
Foundation in Philadelphia, and the Princeton Plasma Physics
Laboratory have participated in their monthly events. Upcoming
meetings will feature Wyeth Research, the New Jersey Department
of Environmental Protection, Bristol-Myers Squibb, and William
Patterson University. Lectures are held at the Princeton University
Department of Chemistry, Frick Laboratories.
