Mining Chemical Libraries for New Antibacterials

Last Friday ChemSec Marketplace hosted the presentation of Nouryon’s collaborative innovation program: Imagine Chemistry 2019.Chemical company Nouryon is looking for ways to create a more sustainable future through chemistry. Through this program, they invite teams to work with them as equal partners and tackle some of the most urgent chemistry-related challenges and turn innovative ideas into reality.

Hazardous Communications Standard – “HAZCOM” is a standard developed by OSHA that requires companies to identify substances or chemicals that may cause illness or injury to our employees or the consumer of our products and communicate these hazards through training of employee and providing communications to our employees and the consumers of our products through labeling and Safety Data Sheets (SDS). This OSHA standard is also aligned with the international labeling requirements referred to as the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS). This webinar will cover the points of importance to dental laboratories.

In 2018, the ACS Division of Polymer Chemistry is pleased to offer a new free webinar series focused on contemporary topics from recognized leaders in the field. The third webinar of 2018 will feature two 20-minute presentations regarding innovations in the photochemistry of polymers with Brett Fors of Cornell University discussing polymer synthesis and Julia Kalow of Northwestern University discussing polymer properties.

The production of quality bourbon involves an understanding of the chemistry involved in the process. Most modern distilleries rely on both sensory and chemical analysis as part of their process. This talk will highlight some of the chemistry involved in the production of the distilled spirit, its aging, and your enjoyment of it. For those not familiar with bourbon, a basic overview of the spirit will be weaved into the talk.
