American Chemical Society

So I was looking to get into the industry and find a professional job.

A colleague of mine in my school was a member of the American Chemical Society.

And he introduced me to some people that were working in Connecticut.

And one of them was based out of McDermott and got interested in the job and told me to apply for a basic entry-level chemist position.

Latin America has long faced a paradox in healthcare innovation.

While countries across the region share many of the same public health challenges, regulatory pathways have traditionally evolved in parallel rather than together.

All right.

So just to recap, we are touching on the things that matter most at ACS.

So far, we've talked about passion for science and lifelong learning.

And today we are exploring

But of course, it's really important in, I'd bet, every field, not just chemistry.

You know, it really is.

And before coming to ACS, I didn't really consider that sustainability in chemistry could be compatible.

I often think of chemistry as a field where researchers are constantly coming up with new materials that end up leading to more waste.

Dr. Jennifer Doudna is a professor of biochemistry, biophysics, and structural biology at the University of California, Berkeley.

a 2020 Nobel laureate in chemistry, and most recently, recipient of the 2026 Priestly Medal, the American Chemical Society's highest honor.

We couldn't connect right after the Nobel in 2020.

She was just a bit busy.

When he came down, he found an eviscerated rat sitting there while somebody in a Hummer drove away.

That's not much, very fun, right? In the late 2000s, they did a strong effort to subvert the climate statements of science societies, the American Physical Society, American Chemical Society, the Geological Society of America.

the IOP Physics Society in the UK.

Those are the ones I know about that I had some hand in helping stop.

Ev- there'll be petroleum cookies for everyone.

Everyone, come eat the cookies"? The researchers will present their results at the fall meeting of the American Chemical Society.

They should change the name of that thing.

The ACS.

When they leaked, people died.

In 1930, a General Motors chemist named Thomas Midgley Jr. walks out in the front of the American Chemical Society.

He breathes in a lungful of his new gas and gently exhales over a lit candle.

The flame goes out.
