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
