 ABOUT THE AMERICAN CHEMICAL SOCIETY
The American Chemical Society is a not-for-profit membership organization, founded in 1876 and chartered by a 1937 Act of the U.S. Congress.
With a membership of more than 163,000 chemists, chemical engineers, and other practitioners of the chemical sciences, it is the world's largest scientific society.
Foster communication and understanding between members, the chemical industry, the government and the community to enhance the quality of scientific research, support economic progress, and insure public health and safety.

 PubChem and the American Chemical Society
The American Chemical Society (ACS) is calling on Congress to "refocus" and curtail the NIH's PubChem, a freely accessible database that connects chemical information with biomedical research and clinical information, organizing facts in numerous public databases into a unified whole.
It is a critical component of NIH's Molecular Libraries Initiative, which in turn is a key element of the NIH strategic "roadmap" to speed new medical treatments and improve healthcare.
It is a U.S. not-for-profit corporation whose national charter was approved by the U.S. Congress on August 25, 1937, for the purposes of encouraging the advancement of chemistry; promoting research in chemical science and industry; increasing and diffusing chemical knowledge; and promoting scientific interests and inquiry through its meetings, reports, papers, and publications.

 Trained wasps may be used to detect bombs, bugs, bodies and more
An unusual device that uses trained wasps, rather than trained dogs, to detect specific chemical odors could one day be used to find hidden explosives, plant diseases, illegal drugs, cancer and even buried bodies, according to a joint study by researchers at the University of Georgia and U.S. Department of Agriculture.
The wasps were trained to detect 3-octanone, a chemical produced by certain toxic fungi that infect corn and peanut crops.
The American Chemical Society is a nonprofit organization, chartered by the U.S. Congress, with a multidisciplinary membership of more than 158,000 chemists and chemical engineers.

 American Chemical Society
The ACS is much larger than most other societies, but the extent, range, and chosen focus of its science education activities are instructive.
Chemists, chemical engineers, and related technical professionals involved in laboratory research can contribute to the education of economically disadvantaged high-school juniors and seniors by becoming summer mentors under Project SEED.
Each student participates in a chemical research project under the direct supervision of a scientist/mentor and, in so doing, learns what it is like to work as part of a team engaged in hands-on research.

 The chemistry of popcorn: It's all about 'pop-ability'
The study is scheduled to appear in the July 11 print version of the American Chemical Society’s BioMacromolecules, a peer-reviewed journal, and was published in the online version of the journal April 7.
They found that the key factor that appears to influence popping quality is the chemical structure of the pericarp, or outer hull, which is composed partly of cellulose (a polymer of glucose).
Although the new popcorn will be slightly different chemically than conventional microwave popcorn, mainly from the presence of more cellulose, it will look and taste just like any other popcorn, he says.
