In this issue of The Chemist, Calvin Dewitt is making a strong argument for stewardship in “bringing the human use of carbon fully within the bounds of the hospitable climate control system of the biospheric economy and our common home”, Vicki Grassian is discussing insights from physical chemistry environmental interfaces in understanding processes taking place on indoor and outdoor environments. C. Saritha and co-authors report on synthesis and characterization of a novel carbazole-based hole transporting material with potential application in the fabrication of solid-state dye-sensitized solar cells. Rajib Choudhury and co-authors assess the efficacy of a donor-acceptor based red light emitting fluorophore in detecting human serum in aqueous samples.

Imelda Rubashvili and co-authors report a HPLC analysis involving sequential extraction for the anthocyanins obtained from ago-industrial waste material – grape skin.  Elelu Shehu-Alimi and co-authors discuss the preparation and characterization of absorbents from the Physic Nut plant, a drought resistant perennial plant. John Sarah and co-authors discuss recent advances in the asymmetric Reformatsky reaction. Asha Chacko and co-authors report the oxidation behavior of permanganate functions supported on polymers.

Bryan Nichols, argues how chemical scientists can play a key role by involving themselves more with citizen science and civic science.  Micheal Hansen with Hart Hansen recognize the importance of teaching the scientific method in the social sciences and suggests not limiting to the natural sciences.
