SUMMARY:Steeped in Science: The Chemistry Inside Your Perfect Cup of Tea
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by ACS Webinars and ACS Division of Agricultural and Food Chemistry\n11:00 am-12:15 pm\, Online\, Free\, Registration required\n\n“Billions of cups of tea are drunk each day making it the world’s most popular beverage. Perhaps more impressive\, the molecular world of tea contains more than a thousand different chemical compounds\, which contribute to its color\, taste\, and scent – and its stimulating effects. \n\n\n\nJoin writer and quantum chemist Michelle Francl of Bryn Mawr College as she spills the tea on the rich molecular brew that can be extracted from the leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant. Register now to learn the chemistry behind the different styles of tea and how to use science to brew a better cup! \nThis ACS Webinar is moderated by Coralia Osorio Roa of the Universidad Nacional de Colombia and ACS Food Science & Technology and is co-produced with the ACS Division of Agricultural and Food Chemistry and ACS Publications. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat You Will Learn\n\nWhat is the role of caffeine in tea\nWhat are the critical flavor components of tea\nHow you can optimize the process of making a cup of tea”\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWebinar Details\n\nThursday\, February 6\, 2025 @ 2-3:15pm ET\nFree to register with ACS ID\nSlides will be available on day of the Live event\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCo-Produced With\n\n\n\n\n\n\nACS Division of Agricultural and Food Chemistry

SUMMARY:Plastics Circularity: Origins and New Developments in Recycling
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by ACS Webinars and Science History Institute\n10:00 am-11:15\, Online\, Free\, Registration required\n\n“Today’s technologies are ready for the recycle and reuse of a variety of post-consumer plastic streams. However\, achieving scale and competitive economics are necessary to create a circular economy for plastics and create a significant impact. Join an expert panel as they contribute their perspectives from various parts of the recycling process and offer a primer in the history of recycling and the contemporary efforts to move from a linear plastics economy to a circular one. \n\n\n\nFirst\, Mimi Joy Cooper and Kaitlyn Zajkowski of the Centre County Recycling and Refuse Authority will discuss how they provide environmentally sound and economically efficient integrated waste management as well as the unique challenges that engenders for their team\, particularly on football Saturdays at Penn State University. Next Jeff Carbeck of Eastman Chemical will provide an overview of chemical recycling as well as the innovative processes their company applies with PET resin. Finally\, Hendrik Dullinger of EFS-plastics Inc. will introduce and explore the state-of-the art mechanical recycling of multiple polymer types. \nThis ACS Webinar is moderated by Bill Tuszynski of the Science History Institute is co-produced with SHI as part of the Joseph Priestley Society (JPS) series that promotes a deeper understanding of science\, technology\, and industry\, with an emphasis on innovation and entrepreneurship. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat You Will Learn\n\nWhat are the critical success factors for collecting and sorting post-consumer recycled plastics\nHow chemical recycling allows for the cost-effective production of virgin resin\nHow mechanical recyclers meet customer performance requirements”\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWebinar Details\n\nThursday\, February 13\, 2025 @ 1:00-2:15pm ET\nFree to register with ACS ID\nSlides will be available on day of the Live event\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCo-Produced With\nScience History Institute
