Volume 90, Issue 52
I teach insect toxicology at the University of California, Riverside, and I just read Britt Erickson’s article “Protecting the Bees” (C&EN, Oct. 15, page 28). The possible role of insecticides in causing colony collapse disorder (CCD) is an important topic in that class; therefore, I have been following the controversy since it arose many years ago.
Of all the articles I have read in all this time, Erickson’s was one of the best. It was balanced; presented both sides of the case well; and included government regulators, beekeepers, nongovernmental organizations, and researchers. It also pointed out gaps in information and lack of funding to sort out the various causes.
ACS 2011 IRS Form 990 Available
The American Chemical Society’s 2011 Form 990 is now available on ACS’s website. To access the information, go to www.acs.org and follow these instructions: Click on “About Us,” then click on “ACS Financial Information.” Go to the heading “ACS IRS Form 990,” and click on “2011 IRS Form 990.”
Please see also the related “Guide to Schedule J” for explanatory information regarding ACS Executive Compensation. If you have any access problems, contact webmaster@acs.org.
I usually devour each issue of C&EN. It is one of the best sources of good information on topical subjects, including biology and microbiology. Congratulations on another winner, and keep up the good work.
