SUMMARY:Science for All: The Power of Impactful STEM Communication & Journalistic Writing
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by ACS Webinars & ACS Public Relations & Communications Committee\nOct. 30th\, 11:00 am-12:15 pm\, Online\, Free\, Registration required\n\n“Effective communication by scientists helps to bridge the gap between science and society\, ensuring that the public understands and values the contributions of chemistry to improving quality of life and addressing global challenges. However\, effectively communicating the values of chemistry to the public requires a multi-faceted approach of tailoring communication and expanding access to education. \n\n\n\nComprehending complex scientific concepts are essential for broad audiences such as policymakers\, reporters\, educators\, and public. Often main message of most science papers is lost between complicated jargon or data. Join Ryan C. Fortenberry of the University of Mississippi as he explores how the journalistic writing model can enhance the clarity and accessibility of peer-reviewed articles\, particularly in the field of chemistry\, by emphasizing the importance of delivering key information upfront. \nLikewise access to quality science education is an issue around the country in rural areas. While rural Americans graduate high school at a higher rate than their urban counterparts\, only 60% will go on to higher education and only 13% of those will choose a major in STEM. Increasing access to science education and making science more engaging with an emphasis on how science discoveries are accomplished\, rather than just the facts can be a way to increase accessibility. Join Dylan Eralie of Small Town Science\, a project aimed at increasing access to science kits and lessons for children in rural areas that brings science into the communities in West Texas and Northern New Mexico. By partnering with non-profit organizations at public events\, this project creates demonstrations and hands-on experiences with re-usable kits that spark the imagination of children to one day see themselves as scientists. \nThis ACS Webinar is moderated by H.N. Cheng\, retired scientist at USDA Agricultural Research Service\, and organized by the ACS Committee on Public Relations and Communications and ACS President Mary Carroll of Union College. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat You Will Learn\n\nHow to write papers that are easier for others to read\nTips on how to make the writing process easier\nHow to structure the various pieces of a standard article into the journalistic model\nHow to explore ways to make chemistry more accessible\, relatable\, and engaging for the public\nHow to identify local organizations that are already serving your community\nHow to recognize the unique challenges of rural communities in providing STEM education”

SUMMARY:Frontier Fridays: Sorbent-based Direct Air Capture of CO₂ at Scale
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by ACS Webinars and ACS Committee on Science\n10-11 am\, Online via Zoom\, Free\, Registration required\n\nAccording to the International Energy Agency (IEA)\, direct air capture (DAC) is currently operating at just 18 plants worldwide and only collecting 0.01 million metric tons of CO2 combined per year. To stay on track to meet IEA 2050 net zero goals and limit global warming to 1.5˚C\, DAC will need to scale up to capture 60 million metric tons per year worldwide by 2030 alone. So\, limiting factors\, including cost\, materials\, thermal and fluid management\, process engineering and advanced manufacturing need to be addressed quickly! \n\n\n\nDavid Moore\, the Carbon Capture Technology Leader for GE Vernova Advanced Research\, and his group are preparing to scale up their promising sorbent-based DAC system by more than 20-fold for a new round of testing in 2024. This project grew out of previous efforts to capture water from arid desert air for the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA)\, and is a prime example of how novel solutions like DAC can arise through partnerships between US Government agencies\, academia\, and industry. By seamlessly coupling experimentation and computation\, including the use of advanced machine learning methods\, sorbent materials and sorbent-binder formulations were discovered to create a coating that\, when covering a large surface area of a heat exchanger\, will act like a sponge to pull CO2 out of the air and transfer it to other parts of the DAC system for processing into a storable or usable form. \nRegister now to learn about this promising contribution to the growing landscape of carbon capture science\, how this system addresses limiting factors to scaling up DAC\, and the strategic ways that General Electric’s team collaborated with external partners in government and academia to advance their work. This ACS Webinar is moderated by Young-Shin Jun (Chair of Science & Technology Subcommittee of the ACS Committee on Science) of the Washington University in St. Louis and is co-produced with the ACS Committee on Science. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat You Will Learn\n\nWhat is sorbent-based direct air CO2 capture and how experimentally-derived structure-property-performance relationships coupled with machine learning play a role in the iterative advancement of sorbent materials\nHow scaling up direct air carbon capture will depend on intersecting innovations across materials\, thermal and fluid management\, process engineering and advanced manufacturing\nHow partnerships across government\, academia\, and industry are critical to large-scale scientific advancement

DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by ACS Webinars and ACS Polymer Chemistry Division\n11:00am-12:30pm\, Online via Zoom\, Free\, Registration required\n\nWhat if we could invent materials that can repair themselves when damaged? Polymer molecules in various states – solid\, melt\, solution – are susceptible to covalent bond changes in response to mechanical fields. For example\, traditional materials under load stress experience deformation which leads to deterioration. However\, the “mechanophore hypothesis” proposes that new materials can be created that utilize selective bond activation where force drives a chemical change in selective and productive ways\, leading to safer and longer lasting materials that are not susceptible to this cycle of deterioration. \n\n\n\nJeff Moore of the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign will introduce you to the mechanophore hypothesis\, including the history of polymer mechanochemistry over the past two decades. Then\, Steve Craig of Duke University will share several examples of materials-chemistry interplay in polymer mechanochemistry. These case studies will highlight how scientists can harness the intrinsic strength of polymers to delve into\, shape\, and potentially redefine the underlying principles of reactivity\, and use embedded mechanochemical reactions to probe\, influence\, and even rewrite the performance rules of polymeric materials. Following these examples\, Jeff Moore will conclude the webinar by sharing a recently developed tool/framework that can help scientists approach designing mechanophores that are thermally stable but mechanochemically active\, paving the way for mechanoresponsive functions in polymeric materials. Discover how polymers have transitioned from a history of degradation to a future where mechanical adaptability is opening avenues for materials that heal themselves\, warn of high stress or can even repair electrical circuits. \nThis ACS Webinar is moderated by Junpeng Wang of the University of Akron and is co-produced with the ACS Division of Polymer Chemistry. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat You Will Learn\n\nHistorical perspectives on polymer mechanochemistry\nHow the mechanophore hypothesis impacts selective and beneficial mechanochemistry in polymers\nWhy polymer mechanochemistry has a solid and quantitative foundation very much aligned with familiar reactivity principles\nHow the presence of mechanochemical reactions can have a profound and productive impact on polymer performance\nWhy embedding reactions in stretched polymeric materials can change the outcome of those reactions\nThe restoring force triangle as a mnemonic tool for mechanophore design\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWebinar Details\n\nThursday\, November 16\, 2023 @ 2-3:30pm ET\nFree to register with ACS ID\nSlides will be available on the day of the Live event

SUMMARY:Psychological Safety is Lab Safety: Using RAMP to Assess DEIR Hazards
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by ACS Webinars\, ACS Committee on Chemical Safety\, and ACS Chemical Health & Safety Division\n11:00am-Noon\, Online via Zoom\, Free\, Registration required\n\nThink back to a time when you tried to go to work or class tired\, stressed out\, or upset. You likely had difficulty focusing which lead to more mistakes\, poor collaboration\, and results that were not at your usual level. Now imagine that you feel this way every day at work\, and the stakes are higher because those mistakes can lead to dangerous lab incidents. Challenges around Diversity\, Equity\, Inclusion and Respect are often thought of as HR issues\, but poor mental health stemming from a toxic lab culture will inevitably lead to scientists engaging in risky lab behavior to protect their psychological safety at the detriment of their physical safety. Students bullied by their peers or supervisors begin to work at night\, alone\, to avoid those individuals. Professionals who do not hold a Ph.D. are told directly that their opinions on the safety of laboratory procedures do not matter and stop bringing up potential issues. Stress or pressure to produce results quickly (in both academia and industry) lead to improper risk assessment and unsafe practices. \n\n\n\nDiversity of thought creates a culture to avert disaster and a workspace where safety can be proactive rather than reactive. In a recently published JACS article\, anecdotes from academia and industry describe positive situations where a bench scientist who disclosed their pregnancy led to in-depth conversations around reproductive health and best safety practices in their lab. Individuals who came from different countries\, universities\, or companies were empowered to bring new perspectives to improve safety and challenge unsafe practices by suggesting alternative syntheses or chemical reagents. Individuals who felt psychologically safe enough to share their cultures with others had increased engagement. \nJoin authors of “Reducing Risk: Strategies to Advance Laboratory Safety through Diversity\, Equity\, Inclusion\, and Respect\,” Debbie Decker of ACS CHAS\, Anna Dunn of Merck\, and Daniel Jacques of SUNY Brockport\, as they discuss the latest research regarding the intersection of Safety and DEIR with innovative ideas on how to mitigate this hazard. Register now to discover how addressing DEIR hazards or issues by using the RAMP risk assessment framework will advance safety for all laboratory personnel. \nThis ACS Webinar is co-produced with the ACS Committee on Chemical Safety and the ACS Division of Chemical Health and Safety. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat You Will Learn\n\nWhat is a DEIR hazard and what are some ideas on how to mitigate these risks\nHow one might apply the RAMP assessment concept to DEIR hazards\nAnecdotes from academia and industry regarding how marginalization\, stereotyping\, unconscious or conscious bias\, or other forms of exclusion have directly or indirectly led to increased safety incidents in the lab\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWebinar Details\n\nThursday\, November 9\, 2023 @ 2-3pm ET\nFree to register with ACS ID\nSlides will be available on the day of the Live event

SUMMARY:ERGO: A Potential Answer in Mushrooms to Healthy Aging?
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by ACS Webinars and ACS Agricultural & Food Chemistry Division\n11am-Noon\, Online via Zoom\, Free\, Registration required\n\nThe accidental discovery of a fungal contaminant in a Petri dish by Sir Alexander Fleming in 1928 led to development of the antibiotic penicillin\, which revolutionized medicine and saved countless lives from deadly bacterial infections. Prior to that discovery in 1909\, another fungal metabolite called Ergothioneine (ERGO)\, a naturally occurring amino acid that contains a sulfur atom on the imidazole ring\, was discovered in Ergot fungus\, but it received little attention. It wasn’t until almost a century later in 2005\, that it was discovered that all mammals\, including humans\, have a highly specific and efficient transporter for ERGO\, which allows it to rapidly move from food into red blood cells and allow for effective distribution among body tissues. \n\n\n\nJoin Robert Beelman\, Professor Emeritus of Food Science and Director of the Center for Plant and Mushroom Foods for Health at Penn State University as he discusses how ERGO is a potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent believed to prevent or mitigate chronic diseases of aging. Register now to discover more about this possible “longevity vitamin” and the current research regarding how ERGO in the diet might improve long-term health outcomes and increase life expectancy. \nThis ACS Webinar is moderated by Brian Guthrie of Cargill and is co-produced with the ACS Division of Agricultural & Food Chemistry. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat You Will Learn\n\nWhat makes Ergothioneine (ERGO) a potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compound that may help to mitigate chronic diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s Disease\nWhy mushrooms are an excellent source of ERGO and how we can also obtain it from other sources\nHow conventional agricultural practices can compromise ERGO in our food supply and how regenerative practices are necessary.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWebinar Details\n\nThursday\, June 29\, 2023 @ 2-3pm ET\nFree to Register with ACS ID\nThe slides will available for download on the day of the event\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCo-produced With\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nACS Agricultural & Food Chemistry Division
