Lots of interesting random items in this week's C&EN:
- The survey of the top 50 chemical firms seems to indicate optimism from Wall Street, even though the fundamental numbers are sort of meh. (by Alex Tullo)
- There has got to be historical data for ocean pH, right?
- Professor Geraldine Richmond and Dr. Celeste Rohlfing talk work-life balance.
- Beth Halford writes about chemistry classes for non-majors; they sound fun, for sure.
My undergraduate advisor taught a joint class with an art professor on the history and chemistry of ancient art, where the students made charcoal, bronze, as well as various pigments to paint ceramics and such. In addition, they made mead. Pretty cool.
