Bonus: Shaping the Future of Chemistry Societies
On the occasion of the 150th anniversary of ACS, C&EN is convening perspectives across two panel discussions to explore how chemistry societies might support science into the future. As chemistry remains the "central science," AI, climate change, and a shifting global landscape are some of the factors putting these institutions under pressure to adapt. This is an opportunity to hear from global thought leaders as they explore what the future for communities of science might look like.

Bonus: Can we carbon-capture our way out of climate change?
In this episode of Stereo Chemistry's sister podcast, Inflection Point, hosts David Anderson and Gina Vitale travel back in time to understand how we are capturing carbon at the source and removing existing CO2 from our atmosphere. They also bring in C&EN reporters Alex Scott and Fionna Samuels to explain how CO2-scrubbing technology from a 19th-century submarine is still basically used today and how making the ocean more basic might help us mitigate our emissions. C&EN's award-winning podcast Inflection Point leans on our 100-year archive to trace headline topics in science today back to their disparate and surprising roots. In each episode, we explore three lesser-known moments in science history that ultimately led us to current-day breakthroughs.
