The American Chemical Society (ACS) Office of Communications has launched Bytesize Science, an educational, entertaining podcast for young listeners. Bytesize Science translates cutting-edge scientific discoveries from ACS' 36 peer-reviewed journals into stories for young listeners. It includes content from Chemical & Engineering News, ACS' weekly news magazine.
New installments of Bytesize Science will be posted every Monday and available without charge. The archive includes among other items, environmental threats to killer whales, a scientific explanation for why some people love chocolate, some unlikely new uses for compact discs, and a hairy tale about 'hairy roots.' The podcaster for Bytesize Science is Adam Dylewski, an ACS science writer and recent graduate of the University of Wisconsin-Madison with degrees in genetics and science communication.
As the world's largest scientific society, the ACS provides access to chemistry-related research through its multiple databases, peer-reviewed journals and scientific conferences. With more than 160,000 members, it is claimed to be the world's largest scientific society.
