PHILADELPHIA, PA—7 January 2008—Chemical Heritage Foundation will begin the New Year with programs to share insights and open communications. Beginning this week CHF will host Periodic Tabloid, a blog featuring insights from CHF president and CEO Thomas R. Tritton. http://periodictabloid.chemheritage.org
Tritton will share his perspectives based on more than a quarter century of cancer research and academic leadership. Most recently he spent a decade as president of Haverford College and a semester as president-in-residence at Harvard University. Tritton will be writing about the new experiences of leading a historical library, museum, and center for scholars as well as providing commentary on new scientific developments, policy implications, and education.
In addition to Periodic Tabloid, CHF is making the wonders of chemistry available to listeners around the world in the form of a regular podcast. Distillations: Extracts from the Past, Present, and Future of Chemistry is a weekly history of science podcast offering entertaining reports on subjects ranging from alchemy to the contents of your kitchen cupboard to the chemistry of space exploration. Each podcast lasts four to ten minutes. Distillations is available through the iTunes store (including by subscription), as well as for download from our Web site. http://distillations.chemheritage.org
Distillations is a presentation of the Chemical Heritage Foundation and is made possible by the generous support of the Richard Lounsbery Foundation.
