Thank you for posting about this. I saw Jyllian’s tweet the other day and my jaw hit the floor. As a more than 20 year ACS member, I was horrified.
The way C&EN staff are being treated at the moment seems to me ridiculous, insane, asinine, embarrassing to the organization, hurtful to important chemistry communicators,
and I believe will do nothing to improve knowledge of chemistry among chemical professionals which I what I always thought C&EN was for. I’ll consider very carefully this time before renewing my ACS membership. I greatly enjoy DCHAS and the DCHAS-L and have
learned and continue to learn so much from each one of you. But if the ACS organization is both willing and able to treat its own senior employees in this way, I’m not sure it’s an organization I care to remain affiliated with.

Hello, everyone:
I am a CHAS member, and I joined CHAS because of reading about CHAS thanks to Jyllian Kemsley's work in C&EN. Her position was eliminated on Monday. The context:
- The magazine was moved from the Publications Division to the Communications, threatening the editorial independence
and reputation of the magazine.
- Staff attrition has annihilated both headcount and morale, but they have continued to put out an excellent publication,
week after week.
- On Monday, the Editor in Chief (Bibiana Campos-Seijo) and most senior editor (and my friend) Jyllian Kemsley were separated
in a move to shift focus from covering science to covering the internal events of the American Chemical Society.
