image via Reddit When you see high school senior Jessica Lee’s yearbook entry, you might assume that she’ll be pursuing a career in chemistry after graduation, because she’s listed what appears to be a few of her favourite chemical elements. Flourine…sulfur…ooh, thulium! That’s a good one. Any observant chemical codebreaker could tell you that the periodic symbols of these elements spell out a secret message. And it just happens to be the most badass fusion of chemistry and hip-hop ever immortalized in yearbook format.

There is nothing wrong with adding ice to scotch, writes Kevin Liu at Serious Eats. In fact, a little water can change the flavor profile of the drink for the better. What's more, chilling your scotch won't dampen down the aroma. A chilled drink won't be flinging off scent molecules left and right, but it will warm up enough from your hot breath to get the chemistry of scent where it needs to go — and to give you the flavor experience you want. ...

The $56 billion that American chemical manufacturers commit every year to developing new innovations can be fueled in part by the principles of green chemistry and green engineering. In fact, these principles continue to serve as important guide posts for manufacturing products that enhance safety and help improve the protection of public health and the environment. chemistry is already helping to solve some of the world’s greatest challenges — providing a healthy and plentiful food supply, clean air and water, safe living conditions, efficient and affordable energy sources, and life-saving medical treatments to communities across the country and around the globe. Innovation in 21 st century chemistry will require companies to look not only at product performance, but also to understand energy efficiency, costs, health and safety and sustainability. Endocrine disrupting chemicals and green chemistry This week at the American Chemical Society (ACS) Green chemistry & Engineering Conference , a session entitled “Endocrine Disruption: It’s Potential Impact on Green chemistry – A Facilitated Dialog between NGOs, Academics, Industry and Government” will specifically focus on helping chemists grapple with the complex and evolving issue of endocrine disruption when developing green chemistries.

Implications of Bt traits on mycotoxin contamination in maize: overview and recent experimental results in southern United States - Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry (ACS Publications)

Abstract Mycotoxin contamination levels in maize kernels are controlled by a complex set of factors including insect pressure, fungal inoculum potential and environmental conditions that are difficult to predict. Methods are becoming available to control mycotoxin-producing fungi in pre-harvest crops, including Bt expression, biocontrol and host plant resistance. Initial reports in the US and other countries have associated Bt expression with reduced fumonisin, DON, and zearalenone contamination, and to a lesser extent reduced aflatoxin contamination in harvested maize kernels. However, subsequent field results have been inconsistent, confirming that fumonisin contamination can be reduced by Bt expression, but the effect on aflatoxin is, at present, inconclusive. New maize hybrids have been introduced with increased spectra of insect control and higher levels of Bt expression that may provide important tools for mycotoxin reduction and increased yield due to reduced insect feeding, particularly if used together with biocontrol and host plant resistance. @ Implications of Bt traits on mycotoxin contamination in maize: overview and recent experimental results in southern United States - Journal of Agricultural and Food chemistry (ACS Publications) : Hamed K.
