Lynn Francesconi was recognized for receiving the 2024 Kinard Award  , presented by the Division of Nuclear Science and Technology, and Henry VanBrocklin was honored with the 2026 G. T. Seaborg Award in Nuclear Chemistry—an ACS National Award sponsored by NUCL—during divisional symposia. We also paid tribute to Professor G. K. Schweitzer with a dedicated symposium recognizing his many contributions to the field.  \nOne highlight of the meeting was the Young Investigators Symposium, where we introduced a new “Hot Seat” segment. This interactive format allowed attendees to get to know four scientists at different levels in their careers and learn about their journeys to their current positions. The session generated a great deal of positive feedback, and we hope to build on this success in future meetings. In addition, the HIPPO group hosted a lunch and meetup for those interested in radioisotope production, providing another valuable venue for discussion and networking.  \nAs the NUCL representative, I had the honor of attending the ACS Awards Banquet on Tuesday evening to present Henry VanBrocklin with his award and to celebrate alongside the other 2026 ACS National Award recipients. During the ceremony, 2026 ACS President Rigoberto Hernández noted that Glenn T. Seaborg served as the 100th President of the ACS and that Henry received the G. T. Seaborg Award in Nuclear Chemistry during the Society’s 150th anniversary year. Adding to this meaningful connection, Henry shared that he had met Seaborg earlier in his career and wore a Seaborgium pin while accepting the award.  \nThe NUCL symposia I attended were exceptionally well received, with several sessions exceeding room capacity. It was especially encouraging to see trainees and principal investigators actively engaging with speakers through thoughtful questions and discussion. Sustaining this level of participation and enthusiasm is a key goal for NUCL moving forward.  \nApproximately 19 trainees received travel support to attend the Spring ACS meeting through funding provided by the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science for Iso","cbCaimwKTeFMdoO1","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaimwKTeFMdoO1","pdf",1069526,"English","# Chair updates\n## ACS Spring Councilor's meeting highlights\n# Awards and recognition\n## Kinard Award and Seaborg Award events\n# Programming and community activities\n## Young Investigators Symposium “Hot Seat”\n## HIPPO lunch and meetup\n# NUCL leadership and committees\n## Councilors, communications, education, membership, programming\n# Future meetings and logistics\n## Fall 2026 meeting in Chicago","[{\"question\":\"What major awards and recognitions did the NUCL newsletter mention for this period?\",\"answer\":\"It notes Lynn Francesconi receiving the 2024 Kinard Award and Henry VanBrocklin being honored with the 2026 G.
