The Division of Chemical Health & Safety (CHAS) Two-Year College (2YC) Community of Practice welcomes individuals who are interested in chemical health and safety in two-year colleges and similar institutions. To support faculty, staff, and students at such institutions, the Community hosts CHAS Chats on a quarterly basis.Please join the 2YC Community for our next CHAS Chat: Navigating Organic Solvent Use in Laboratories. This interactive discussion, led by the 2YC Community of Practice chair Dwayne Henry, will take place from 4:00-5:00 PM EDT on Thursday, February 20th, 2025. We will broadly discuss ongoing environmental regulations, resources for substitution of various solvents, and risk assessment for handling common organic solvents. Health hazards related to the use of common organic solvents will also be explored. If interested, please register via Eventbrite.You do not need to officially join the 2YC Community or be affiliated with a two-year college to join the CHAS Chat. We invite you to visit our 2YC Community page to view CHAS Chat schedules, recordings of past CHAS Chats, and information regarding how to join the 2YC email list. Contact Dwayne Henry at [email protected] with any questions.

The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine will host a workshop exploring the transformative potential of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) in chemical sciences and drug discovery. Sponsored by the Chemical Sciences Roundtable, this event will bring together researchers, policymakers, and stakeholders to examine how AI tools can address data biases and democratize pharmaceutical research, potentially reducing drug development costs down from billions of dollars and decades of work. The workshop will discuss AI's role in expanding research capacity, particularly for rare diseases, while exploring critical challenges such as preventing healthcare disparities and ensuring access to advanced technological resources. Panel discussions and a foresight exercise will feature thought leaders examining the integration of AI, laboratory automation, and robotics to advance the chemical sciences' role in traditional drug discovery. Workshop Session Panels:
- Drug Discovery: "The Future is Now" | This panel will focus on how advanced tools like AI/ML, robotics, and automation are transforming the chemical laboratories to efficiently progress the drug discovery process.
- Expanding Access: "Removing the Biases from Drug Discovery" | Discussions will shift to emphasize how investments into the advanced tools used in and the data generated from the drug discovery process contributes collectively to the affordability and availabilty of patient care across a broad spectrum of diseases.
- Foresight Activity: "Imagining the Future" (interactive breakout sessions) | Breakout groups plan to have independent discussions on how enhanced efficiency of the drug discovery process can produce potentially meaningful results for the future of practicing medicine that will be later compiled for the workshop and the proceedings-in-brief.
- Building the Community: "Out of the Box Success Stories" | Closing this exciting meeting, we will explore on how collaboration between citizen scientists and other relevant groups can contribute to shared responsibilities, open communication, and access to advanced technological resources to maximize innovations in the drug discovery process that facilitate the highest delivery of patient care.

You are invited to attend the ACS Division of Chemical Health and Safety (CHAS) Peer-Led Workshop “Empowering Academic Researchers to Strengthen Safety Culture” on Sunday, March 16, 2025 from 2:00—5:30 PM EST via Zoom. This workshop discusses the challenges of students making the transition to being independent researchers in academia. Topics discussed include: risk assessment of research projects, understanding the often confusing safety hierarchies of academic institutions, and graduate student-led Laboratory Safety Teams (LSTs). Faculty and safety staff are also encouraged to attend in order to expand their understanding of these challenges and seek ways to become better Champions for these researchers. Interested parties must register for this highly-interactive workshop by Friday, March 14, 2025 on EventBrite. The registration cost is $25.00. This workshop is brought to you by CHAS, a vibrant, active community of nearly 1,700 volunteers dedicated to providing authoritative technical resources and mentorship to individuals in varying stages of their education and career.
