Abstract
The symposium “Silicones and Silicone-Modified Materials VI” was hosted by the American Chemical Society (ACS) during the 243 rd National Meeting & Exposition in San Diego, California, USA (March 25 −29, 2012). At this “Silicones VI” symposium, I circulated a blank notepad and I then asked the members of the audience for responses to the question “What are the three hot topics in silicon chemistry in March 2012?” These responses are given herein along with a brief discussion of how they may guide us in our future teaching, research and service.
