ABSTRACT BODY: Abstract: SCHB supports its members by assisting in the formation, development and growth of start-ups and small chemical businesses. We provide content through collaborations at ACS local, regional, and national meetings, as well as weekly online “discuss business” sessions that marry technical content with an informal social setting. Our sessions feature the real stories of chemical entrepreneurs, as well as guidance on the best practices in growing and developing your business. Our partnerships with other ACS units on contemporary topics of interest to chemical enterprises facilitate dialog and synergy amongst business-minded chemists. Our strong network of individuals to draw inspiration from and to conduct business with is one asset that we support our members with. Consider learning more about the benefits of SCHB programs, membership and sponsorship. The elements of your next successful business can be found within SCHB.

IUPAC Global Women's Breakfast #GWB2022

 

IUPAC Global Women’s Breakfast

February 16

As part of the annual IUPAC Global Women’s Breakfast initiative, and in collaboration with the Northeastern Section of the American Chemical Society, we are hosting an online panel discussion on Feb 16th, starting at 8am. Our panel features three incredible chemists who will talk about their experiences as leaders in the field. Join us to hear from Dr. Katherine Lee, Head of Scientific Planning and Operations at Pfizer, Dr. Jennifer Maclachlan, Managing Director at PID Analyzers and Dr. Leila Deravi, Assistant Professor at Northeastern University. I wanted to ask if you could share this event within your network.

 

This event is part of a series of webinars and discussions that we have held over the past 12 months, that have included workshops on imposter syndrome; implicit bias; and a panel discussion focused on women-entrepreneurs. Registrations are free and can be made at https://bit.ly/NESACS_GWB2022. I also cannot stress enough that all are welcome to attend!

CO2 Emissions in Indoor Air and Potential Solutions for Reduction

CO2 Emissions in Indoor Air and Potential Solutions for Reduction

• Room: B316
 
• Session Number: G09-07

Tuesday, March 08, 2022: 3:45 PM - 4:05 PM

Author(s) Dr. Jack Driscoll and Jennifer L. Maclachlan

Description

In a recent NIH study, associations of higher indoor carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations with impaired work performance, increased health symptoms, and poorer perceived air quality have been attributed to correlation of indoor CO2. At levels above 600 ppm CO2, testing was done at 1000 ppm CO2 and they found that moderate and statistically significant decrements occurred in six of nine scales of decision-making performance. To keep the level of CO2 below 600 ppm a new CO2 controller has been developed by PID Analyzers that would automatically work with the HVAC system to increase additional intake air to reduce the CO2. An additional CO2 analyzer would analyze the intake air to ensure that the CO2 level was low. If the intake air was too high then a room CO2 scrubber (using a carbon or molecular sieve or metal oxide cartridge) could be used to reduce the CO2 to an acceptable level. This would lead to improved productivity of the workforce.

Chemists and the Public: The Role of Informal Science Education (#89)

 

Chemists and the Public: The Role of Informal Science Education (#89)

Organizers: Maclachlan, Jennifer, Burks, Raychelle, Hayashi, Kazuhiro, MacLennan, Matthew S

This will be an important forum for science communicators to network and share their informal SCICOMM how-to's with one another as well as inspire those members of the chemistry enterprise to get started at sharing their passion for science education, in an exemplary way. Seeking to increase the impacts of science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) beyond the Academy, scientists and institutions engage in a variety of activities including: public outreach, science communication, engagement through social media, informal science education (ISE), and strategic knowledge mobilization (KM) activities across a range of settings and audiences. In addition to administrative "tried and true" and/or novel engagement methods, scientists also work to assess the broader impacts of their activities and must navigate their institution's review board processes. This session will feature a diverse set of speakers to discuss the latest research, best communication practices, recurring challenges, and common institutional / agency processes, and assessment tools.
