SUMMARY:Exploring Health And Environment: Navigating Chemicals In Our Everyday Lives
DESCRIPTION:A Joint Event Between California Section of American Chemical Society & Association of Women in Science\, East Bay Chapter. \nSchedule:\n5:00 – 5:30 PM: Sign-Up and Networking\n5:30 – 6:30 PM: Talk and Q&A\n6:30 – 7:30 PM: Networking W/ Light Bites \nLocation: 4D Molecular Therapeutics\, 5959 Horton St.\, #200 conference room\, Emeryville\, CA 94608.  Free\, registration required. \nAbstract: The presentation delves into the prevalent challenges of human infertility and congenital defects exacerbated by environmental toxins. Chemicals like bisphenol A (BPA) and phthalates\, present in plastics\, cosmetics\, and personal care items\, disrupt hormones and pathways as endocrine-disrupting compounds (EDCs). Despite efforts to replace BPA with alternatives labeled “BPA-Free\,” these substitutes carry similar risks. These findings emphasize the potential health risks\, urging consumer awareness\, policy reform\, and sustainable alternatives. \nAbout the speaker: Prof. Sonya Schuh\, originally from Southern California\, developed a passion for nature and water activities. Her curiosity and upbringing by educator parents led her to a science career. She earned a B.S. in Marine Biology and Zoology from Humboldt State University and conducted marine research. Later\, she completed her Ph.D. in Physiology and Biophysics at the University of Washington\, focusing on chemical effects on sperm. At Stanford’s Stem Cell Biology Institute\, she delved into genes and environmental factors affecting human reproduction. Joining Saint Mary’s College of California\, she initiated a research program on endocrine disruptors’ impact on stem cells and embryos. Dedicated to teaching and diverse collaborations\, her most cherished accomplishment is her three children\, inspiring her ongoing commitment to shaping a better future.

SUMMARY:The Silicon Valley ACS invites you to the UC Santa Cruz Arboretum for wine-tasting & networking\, a discussion of winemaking\, and garden strolls
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, October 7\, 2023\, 12:30-3pm at the UC Santa Cruz Arboretum & Botanic Garden\, Horticulture Room 2.   Cheese\, fruit\, and veggies will be served.  All attendees 21 years+ will receive a glass of wine during the reception (12:30pm-1pm) and will taste four different wines during Phil Crews’ presentation (1pm-3pm).  View flyer. \nReservations required by September 29th: $15 regular\, $10 students\, Free for under 21.  Pay at the door with cash or check.  Includes access to the UC Santa Cruz Arboretum all day\, 9am-5pm. \n\nUC Santa Cruz Arboretum & Botanic Garden | Visitor Guide & Updated Trail Map (PDF) | Directions\nWatch a video narrated by Frans Lanting\, noted wildlife photographer\, explaining the unique value of Arboretum & Botanic Garden.\n\nWines from great vintages to wildfire catastrophes: Merging natural products chemistry fundamentals with sensory evaluations.  A workshop to gain a 21st Century perspective.\nProf. Phil Crews\, Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry\, UC Santa Cruz\n \nAbstract: Wine is a complex liquid comprised of many bioorganic compounds in a 12.5% alcoholic solution with a pH range of 3-4. Wine quality assessment and winemaking methods have been in place for many centuries. Nowadays\, contemporary approaches to winemaking are quite scientific as many aspects of this complex drink appear to be understood. For example\, there is an excellent contemporary book\, “Understanding Wine Chemistry” (Waterhouse et al.\, 2017).  Decades ago\, Wired Magazine reported on the Grapes of Math (GoM) in a comprehensive article to underscore that consulting companies exist to help winemakers craft award winning wines. The GoM approach uses databases created via metabolomics approaches. On the other hand\, many subscribe to the idea that successful winemaking and wine quality evaluations can be achieved by just using a “right-brained” approach. In this wine-centric event we will explore principles of wines and winemaking through natural products & sensory evaluations. Different flavor outcomes achieved in winemaking as a function of grape variety and the terroir differences of vineyards in California will be illustrated. The approaches to wine creation will be explored using case examples.  Everyone at the workshop will have a chance to dissect the major and minor complex flavors and aromas associated with wines and to correlate them with a few key biomolecules. Answers to vexing questions will be sought by examining outcomes derived from tasting and talking about three different Burgundy style California wines.  Also discussed with be recent advances obtained by the Santa Cruz campaign (UCSC & SC Labs) using small molecule natural product wine chemo-markers to forecast wine quality damage caused by wildfire smoke. \nRecommended reading before the workshop:  https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.jnatprod.2c00028 (open access) \n \nBiography: Phil Crews is a California native and has spent most of his academic career in the state. He received his B.S. from the University of California at Los Angeles and his Ph.D. from UC Santa Barbara working with Domenick Bertelli. After becoming a postdoc at Princeton University\, in 1970\, he started as an Assistant Professor and is currently an Emeritus Professor for the Chemistry and Biochemistry Department at UC Santa Cruz. The primary goals of his research group were to understand the chemistry of tropical marine sponges and marine-derived fungi. Bioassay-guided isolation assisted in the discovery of natural products potent against human diseases such as cancer and neglected tropical diseases. The search for novel active compounds incorporated elements of structure elucidation\, employing state-of-the-art nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) techniques. Crews Lab site \nA passionate home-winemaker and wine educator\, he took his “hobby” public. Specializing in Burgundian and Rhone style wines from select coastal vineyards\, the Pelican Ranch Winery is a family owned and operated winery in the heart of Capitola. Established in 1997\, the winery is just a few blocks from Monterey Bay\, which provides a constant\, cool\, coastal influence that allows for the making of fine elegant wines.

During this time\, I have witnessed some amazing changes\, and I want to take this opportunity to tell you some stories about what it has been like\, stories about teaching\, stories about research\, and stories of what it was like to be chair. I am reminded of the opening sentence of Charles Dickens’ A Tale of Two Cities: “It was the best of times\, it was the worst of times\, it was the age of wisdom\, it was the age of foolishness\, it was the epoch of belief\, it was the epoch of incredulity\, it was the season of Light\, it was the season of Darkness\, it was the spring of hope\, it was the winter of despair\, we had everything before us\, we had nothing before us\, we were all going direct to Heaven\, we were all going direct the other way—in short\, the period was so far like the present period\, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received\, for good or for evil\, in the superlative degree of comparison only.” Hopefully\, my presentation will not emulate this sentence in length or in extremes\, but I do hope to provide some insight to what it was like to be here at Stanford during this period that saw the Stanford Chemistry Department grow so much in strength. \nBio:\n“A pioneer in the use of lasers to study chemical reactions at the molecular level\, Marguerite Blake Wilbur Professor Richard N. Zare pursues diverse theoretical and experimental interests in physical chemistry and nanoscale chemical analysis. The Zarelab has made a broad impact in analytic chemistry with development of laser-induced fluorescence to study reaction dynamics\, and seminal contributions to understanding of molecular collision processes. The group continues to invent tools and measurement techniques to study phenomena from reaction in microdroplets to drug delivery. \nBorn in 1939 in Cleveland\, Ohio\, Professor Zare trained in physical and analytical chemistry at Harvard University (B.A. 1961\, Ph.D. 1964). His doctoral study under Professor Dudley Herschbach explored photodissociation dynamics. After faculty positions spanning chemistry at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology\, chemistry\, physics and astrophysics at the University of Colorado\, and chemistry at Columbia University\, he joined the Stanford chemistry faculty in 1977. He has taught an introductory chemistry class every year since. As a Howard Hughes Medical Institute Professor since 2006\, Professor Zare has also developed a course introducing undergraduates to hands-on interdisciplinary research\, combining physics\, and biology to explore how living systems use molecular interactions with light for vision\, photosynthesis and more. Professor Zare served as chair of the Department of Chemistry from 2005 to 2011\, and has helped to guide scientific policy as chairman of several national and international science boards. His dedication to research and teaching has been recognized in many awards\, including the National Medal of Science\, the Wolf Prize in Chemistry\, and the Presidential Award for Excellence in Science\, Mathematics\, and Engineering Mentoring. Among other honors\, Professor Zare is a member of the National Academy of Sciences\, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences\, and the American Philosophical Society. He has also received 11 honorary doctorates. \nCurrent research in the Zarelab explores wide-ranging questions in physical and analytical chemistry\, from the study of elementary chemical reactions to chemical analysis of extraterrestrial materials. The major focus of these efforts is chemical analysis on the nanoscale. The team has devised tools and techniques to examine molecules in extremely tiny volumes – the volumes characteristic of what is found in heterogeneous structures in mineral samples or in the contents of cells and subcellular compartments. Group members have also made contributions to the chemical analysis of liquid samples separated using a capillary format by electrophoresis or electrochromatography. Some “firsts” include the use of cavity ring-down spectroscopy to analyze trace species in solution\, development of detectors for capillary electrophoresis based on the techniques of laser-induced fluorescence\, and CCD imaging\, and the use of mass spectrometric imaging of tissue samples by means of desorption electrospray ionization.” \nPlease visit the Zarelab website to learn more: https://web.stanford.edu/group/Zarelab/ \nSource for biographical information: The text above was copied from Professor Zare’s entry in Stanford Profiles.

Despite the chemical complexity in the world around us\, we are capable of perceiving complex mixtures as single percepts: a strawberry tastes like strawberry; an egg tastes like an egg; a bourbon whiskey tastes like bourbon whiskey. Join me for a discussion about the psychophysical underpinnings of complex flavor perception and how to leverage them to build flavors from their molecular components. \nBio: \nSean LaFond is the Director of Flavor for Verofolia\, located in Healdsburg\, CA\, as well as a scientific consultant for Edible Odyssey in Davis\, CA. During the past fifteen years\, Dr. LaFond has worked on numerous projects in the food industry and academia. His research interests encompass the creation of complex flavors and the sensory methods to evaluate them. He holds a MS in Food Science from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign where he studied lipid oxidation in frying oils\, and a PhD in Food Science from the University of California at Davis where he studied the sensory perception of flavor blending.
