Keeping toxics out of consumer goods
San Francisco Chronicle – Oct 28, 2007
Lead has been known to be potentially toxic since antiquity. But our understanding of toxicity for tens of thousands of other substances is murky at best especially for effects on fetal and child development. Enter “green chemistry” a promising science dedicated to the design of products and processes to reduce or eliminate the production and use of substances that can harm human health and ecosystems. Several developments have thrust green chemistry to the forefront of chemicals policy discussions. First the European Union is enacting sweeping new laws requiring industry to provide information about the toxicity of products on the market. Second businesses like Kaiser Permanente and Intel Corp. are demanding better chemical information and safer chemical substitutes… But our understanding of toxicity for tens of thousands of other substances is murky at best especially for effects on fetal and child development.

In Which The End-f-The-Date Kiss Is A Risky Move
Washington Post – Oct 28, 2007
I would’ve guessed her [to be] 45; when she told me her age later I just about fell over!Libby: I knew right away that I wasn’t attracted to him. He’s small in stature and slight — I like men who are taller and more robust. It was a chemistry thing. Douglas: We went upstairs to a small booth. I got an ld-Fashioned; she had a chardonnay. We split a crab-puff appetizer. The talk just seemed to pour out of both of us… The date was a 4 [out of 5]. He was a genuinely nice man: honest charming engaging a risk-taker. There was just not chemistry there. Douglas: I’d hoped she’d say: "I’ve fallen madly in love; let’s go home and go to bed. " But I didn’t get an overwhelming sense that she has to see me again. [Still] I’d give the date a 5. I fully intend to call her.
The AAAS Honors Members As Fellows For Distinction In Science
Medical News Today – Medical News Today (press release) – Oct 28, 2007
The new Fellows will be inducted at the Fellows Forum on February 16 during the 2008 AAAS Annual Meeting in Boston. The Yale faculty who were honored are:Paul T. Anastas professor in the School of Forestry & Environmental Studies was named a Fellow in the Section on Chemistry for “promoting the design discovery development and implementation of material and energy sources that are benign to human health and the environment and that advance sustainability. Sankar Ghosh professor of immunobiology and of molecular biophysics & biochemistry was named a Fellow in the Section on Biological Sciences for “distinguished contributions to the field of immunology particularly for studies of the NF-êB signaling pathway. Girvin the Eugene Higgins Professor of Physics & Applied Physics and the Deputy Provost for Science & Technology was named a Fellow in the Section on Engineering “for fundamental experimental and theoretical research on correlated many-electron states in low dimensional systems.
Stanford Nobel laureate Arthur Kornberg dies
Palo Alto nline – Oct 28, 2007
He was 12 years old when he accompanied his father to Stockholm for his Nobel Prize ceremony. Kornberg was born in Brooklyn on March 3 1918. He earned a bachelor’s degree in chemistry and biology from City College of New York in 1937 and his medical degree from the University of Rochester in 1941. He worked at the National Institutes of Health from 1942 to 1953 and then taught at Washington University in St. He came to Stanford in 1959 as chair of the new Department of Biochemistry. Kornberg author of several books also wrote “Germ Stories” a children’s book due to be published Nov.

Fire Water and Water Quality EffectsWhat happens after wildfires have burned across a landscape? Scientists at the USGS are studying the chemistry of ash and its effects on surface runoff and water chemistry. When rain of sufficient intensity falls on burned areas the resulting surface runoff can catch and drag ash and partially burned organic matter and begin to erode hill slopes and widen channels. When ash is mixed with water soluble compounds are released that affect the chemistry of streams lakes and reservoirs. Learn more about fire’s effects on your watershed by contacting Deborah Martin at (303) 541-3024 or.
