This week's C&EN

Lots of interesting tidbits in this week's C&EN:

• Very interesting article about yeast and beer brewing by Matt Davenport. (Don't care what you say, but marijuana beer sounds yucky.) 
• Additionally, a good read by Jyllian Kemsley on the laboratory safety of marijuana extraction. 
• I'll repeat a mantra of mine, speaking as a marijuana non-user: if cannabis is going to be legal, it's the responsibility of chemists to run the home butane hash oil folks out of business. 
• Interesting chemical accident statistics from Andrea Widener. 
• I did not know of Professor Graham Fleming before, but it appears that he resigned from a position as a vice chancellor of research for UC-Berkeley because of accusations of sexual harassment. (by Jyllian Kemsley)
• Really fascinating conversation between Sarah Everts and Patrick McNutt, a Ph.D. molecular biologist, and current chemical weapons researcher for the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Chemical Defense.
• This letter to the editor about "persistent old chemists" is pretty funny and the backstory/politics must be intense. 
• I'm sure I'm going to be writing letters to the editor in 2045 about the Bengu Sezen case and how kidsthesedays are forgetting about her tragic example.
