Distillations
Extracts from the past, present and future of chemistry.
I guest host this episode of Distillations, and consider the chemistry of the ocean. We travel to an underwater laboratory off the coast of Key West to learn how carbon dioxide is dissolving the world’s coral reef ecosystems. And we board the Pontoon Boat of Science off the Oregon coast to see how researchers are using light to study the seas. Featured on 10 June 2011.

Is that nanotechnology in your bat?: A new carbon-based nano-material is finding its way into sporting equipment, promising great things for baseball. But nanotechnology is still in its infancy, and some are concerned about its potential threat to our health and our environment. Featured on Friday, 24 April 2009.
Oh Ari, It sounds so professional! Nicely done and what an interesting story! I love how you raise awareness of organizations and people that would otherwise not be known to the general public. Well done Ari.
