I would also note that Dr. Dorhout is a significant champion of lab safety in his ACS activities, including as President of the Society in 2018.

Re: SCHB Happy Hour

Join us on Tuesday April 26, 2022 at 7pm ET for SCHB Happy Hour Chemist Hobbies Edition: featuring ACS Past President, Dr. Peter Dorhout, as he shares his woodworking craft with us in a presentation titled "If a Tree Falls in the Woods‰?|Can it Still Become a Bowl?"

Abstract:

While Peter Dorhout has provided leadership and service to the American Chemical Society and the discipline, he also serves as a volunteer presenter and instructor for woodworking. Whether building book shelves for the campus ROTC library or bowls for fundraisers or gifts, he can usually be found in his free time doing something in his woodshop. Peter uses his chemistry to refine finishes for his wood pieces, relying on old recipes to guide his formulations. His volunteer presentations include working with local woodturner or woodworker clubs to present at maker fairs, community events, county fairs, or Scouting gatherings. The presentation will include an introduction to some basics about safety in the shop, how to select wood for a bowl, and, if technology cooperates, a live demonstration of making a bowl ' otherwise, there will be a lot of pictures.
