The participants add value to this workshop as much\, if not more than\, the organizers! \nWhile we certainly understand that the unevenness of Internet connectivity and the challenges of work-from-home can serve as barriers\, we strongly advise you to come to this workshop prepared to engage with mics and cameras on! If this is not possible\, we ask that you engage via the chat function. \nWhile this workshop has been designed from a US perspective\, we have had participants from multiple countries report that they found it useful as well! This international audience is just one more reason why the interactivity among participants is so vital to the success of the workshop for all participants! \nThis workshop is brought to you by the ACS Division of Chemical Health and Safety as one of two workshops in the ACS CHAS Peer Led Workshop Series.

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.

SUMMARY:Persistent Micelle Templates for Single-Variable Series of Porous Nanomaterials
DESCRIPTION:Prof. Morgan Stefic\, Chemistry and Biochemistry Dept.\, Univ. of South Carolina\nSponsored by the Golden Gate Polymer Forum (GGPF)\n6:30 PM Online via Zoom\, Registration required (Registration deadline: Feb. 15 at 1pm)\n\nAbstract\nBlock polymer structure‐directing agents (SDA) enable the production of porous nanoscale materials by controlling the arrangement of material precursors. The subsequent removal of the polymer thus yields porous nanomaterials that are useful for a wide range of applications including energy storage and catalysis. The iteration of most such strategies however leads to complex sequences of nanomaterials that change multiple spatial variables at a time\, including morphology\, pore size\, and wall thickness. In contrast\, persistent micelle templates (PMT) are based upon the kinetic entrapment of polymer chains to enable sample adjustments with constant morphology (isomorphic) and constant pore size (ref.1). Such series of nanomaterials with a single spatial variable are well poised to clarify cause-and-effect for nanoscale phenomena. The PMT approach has enabled wide spanning feature sizes over two orders of magnitude with 2 Å precision adjustments between samples. The PMT method is simple to validate with diffraction models and is feasible in any laboratory with minimal equipment. Finally\, recent energy device research enabled by PMT is noted where tailored nanomaterials provided a unique perspective to unravel complex battery behaviors (ref. 2). \nReferences \n1)    Stefik\, M.\, Single-Variable Porous Nanomaterial Series from Polymer Structure Directing Agents.

SUMMARY:Bacteriophages in Human Health and Disease
DESCRIPTION:Paul Bollyky\, MD\, PhD\nSponsored by Café Scientifique Silicon Valley\n5:00-6:30pm\, Online via Zoom\, Free\, Registration required\n\nDescription of the talk\nBacteriophages\, viruses that infect bacteria\, are a frontier in human health. Phages are some of the best studied organisms on earth with critical roles in biotechnology. They are also highly abundant in our bodies\, outnumbering both our own cells and the bacteria that produce them. However\, we are just beginning to understand the roles that phages play in our own biology. Here\, we will explore the fascinating biology of bacteriophages and their interactions with both their human and bacterial hosts. We will highlight recent data from our lab and others implicating bacteriophages in human disease. We will also discuss efforts to use bacteriophages to promote human health. \nAbout the speaker\nPaul Bollyky is an Associate Professor and infectious disease physician at Stanford University. He received his D.Phil at the University of Oxford\, and his MD at Harvard Medical School. He then completed his residency training at Brigham and Women’s Hospital followed by his fellowship training in Infectious Diseases and Immunology at the University of Washington in Seattle. His lab studies trans-kingdom interactions between bacteriophages\, bacteria\, and their human hosts\, and is interested in understanding how these interactions contribute to health and disease and in using bacteriophages to treat chronic infections.

SUMMARY:Electrochemical Wastewater Refining: Converting Pollutants into Products
DESCRIPTION:Asst. Prof. William Tarpeh\, Chemical Engineering Dept.\, Stanford University\n Sponsored by ACS Webinars and ACS Industry Member Programs\n11am-Noon\, Online via Zoom\, Free\, Registration required\n\nTraditionally\, wastewater has been viewed as a source of pollution that can damage ecosystems. However\, wastewater collection can be a win-win for the environment and businesses\, because it contains several valuable elements like nitrogen\, carbon\, and phosphorus that can be converted and purified into high-purity products like fertilizers\, disinfectants\, acids\, and bases. Can we shift our perspective to valorize those pollutants as a source of feedstock chemicals to incentivize collection\, enable electrification of manufacturing\, and help achieve circular economies? \nJoin William Tarpeh\, Assistant Professor of Chemical Engineering at Stanford University\, as he discusses recent efforts and future opportunities to design catalysts\, separations methods\, and integrated electrochemical reactive separation systems that can achieve the vision of wastewater refining. Register now to learn how catalysis and separations can be integrated to produce high-purity chemicals from diverse\, variable\, and widespread wastewaters. \n\n\n\nWhat You Will Learn\n\nWhy conventional chemical extraction\, manufacturing\, and disposal have exceeded planetary boundaries\nHow electrochemical wastewater refining\, or the tunable recovery of valuable resources from wastewaters\, can be achieved through electrocatalyst design\, solute-selective separations\, and stoichiometric electrochemical conversions\nHow to characterize both the aqueous and solid sides of electrochemical interfaces to uncover mechanistic insights that inform process design for wastewater refining\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWebinar Details\n\nThursday\, January 19\, 2022 @ 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-Producer\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nACS Industry Member Programs

SUMMARY:Methods for the Detection and Monitoring of Microplastics in the Environment
DESCRIPTION:Steven M Barnett\, Soar Optics\nSponsored by the Golden Gate Polymer Forum (GGPF)\n6:30 PM Online via Zoom\, Registration required. Learn more and register\nRegistration deadline: Tuesday\, January 17\, 1:00 PM.\n\nAbstract:\nMicroplastics have recently been recognized as a significant environmental contaminant with implications for human health and carbon capture. It is widely recognized that we need to control and decrease the level of microplastics in our society. The California State Water Control Resources Board mandates that agencies that deliver water to the majority of California residents need to monitor for microplastics. However\, the reduction of microplastic levels is challenging since detection and monitoring of these contaminants is difficult. \nThis presentation will provide a review of microplastics and the range of methods being used for monitoring\, including the FTIR and Raman methods recommended by the California State Water Resources Control Board. \nFinally\, a discussion on Soar Optics’ advanced methods to improve the speed and efficiency of microplastics detection and monitoring will be discussed. Our methods incorporate Raman scattering using dedicated sensors for the major microplastics found in the environment\, allowing for rapid scanning and comprehensive analysis of most typical samples. \nSpeaker Background & Research Interests:\n\nDr. Barnett is the CEO of Soar Optics\, a company founded in 2022 to develop advanced optical sensors for materials characterization. \nTechnical Background\nDr. Barnett has 25 years of experience in the methods being developed by Soar Optics. He is the author of the patent-pending technology that Soar Optics is developing\, and is a co-author on 22 published papers in refereed journals. \nDr. Barnett received his Ph.D. degree in Chemistry from McGill University and subsequently worked as a Research Fellow at the National Institutes of Health. Since 1997\, Dr. Barnett has worked with many industries in the application of optical methods for materials characterization. His roles have included sales\, applications development\, support\, and management. He has also been active in a range of scientific societies including the Society for Applied Spectroscopy (SAS) as a member of the Executive Committee and the Governing Board\, in addition to serving as President of the Northern California local section for many years. He is a member of the American Society for Trace Evidence Examiners (ASTEE)\, SPIE\, and the Materials Research Society. \nBusiness Background\nDr. Barnett holds an MBA degree from the Graduate School of Management of the University of California\, Davis\, with an emphasis on technology management\, organizational behavior\, and entrepreneurship. \nIn addition to his work at Soar\, Dr. Barnett is the Principal of Barnett Technical Services\, a company that sells instrumentation for chemical and materials analysis since 2010. He is also a Founder of InnoGrove\, a coworking space in Elk Grove\, CA that supports the Elk Grove entrepreneurial community.
