HI Debbie
Thanks for the good news. At the beginning of my career in the early ’60’s C&EN was not much of a publication. The best part was the employment leads. the worst part was the mouth piece for chemical companies,.
About 2000, I noticed that the articles were much more interesting and relevant. As an editor for a competing publication (American Laboratory) and a ACS member, I was pleased to see the improvements in content.
Now, I’m relieved that the ACS die not try to fix something that was not broken.
With a smile,
Bob

Those of us who have experience with the internal workings of the ACS may be interested in this announcement. C&EN has been returned to the Publications section from the Communications division.
A most interesting development. The membership and the staff spoke and the Society listened. I do fervently hope C&EN can recover.
I am wondering, though, about the advisory board and if they are continuing in their previous role. The editorial didn't have any information about that.
