Repelling Insects
February 5, 2007
| A version of this story appeared in
Volume 85, Issue 6
Attention: academic, industry, government researchers
C&EN would like to hear about the processes that researchers in academia, industry, or government use to write a paper for submission to a peer-reviewed journal. C&EN is interested in, among other things, the dynamics involved. For example, is one person responsible for writing the bulk of a paper? Is there an outline? Does writing involve a blog or wiki? Please contact Rachel Petkewich at r_petkewich@acs.org or (202) 872-7861 by March 15 if you are interested in being interviewed. Replies will be considered for an upcoming article in the magazine.
Newscripts describes a chewing gum that contains aroma chemicals such as geraniol and linalool that are released from the skin after consumption (C&EN, Nov. 13, 2006, page 48). Two weeks earlier, "What's That Stuff?" discussed the insect-repellant properties of citronella oil, properties of which are attributed to monoterpenes (C&EN, Oct. 30, 2006, page 42). Might it be possible to formulate an insect-repellant chewing gum?
