In summary, the speaker has been selected for a panel discussion at their university on the topic of "WOW in chemistry." They are unsure of what this means and if it refers to surprising discoveries or experiments in chemistry. They are seeking clarification before the event in three days. It is possible that WOW stands for Emulsions.

Since it is in all caps, I'm guessing WOW is an acronym, and not an exclamation. And from the AcronymFinder website, I'm guessing they will want to discuss Emulsions...
