   Haha, when I worked at Lowe’s way back when I was a starry-eyed undergrad, my boss always used to say, “Customers first!”

   To which I would reply, “Safety second!”

   He would get so mad!

   The magazine is put to bed on Thursdays. It’s too expensive to change once it’s been sent to the printers.

   Touche.

   Having seen, with mine own eyes, the C&EN Old-World-style wooden printing presses churning under the Capitol building, I humbly digress.

   ‘ACS Drops “Chemical” from name’ – it is hilarious, yet creepingly plausible

    Wasn’t there a reaction to a perceived move away from “ACS” in the letters section of C&EN a few years back?

    @CJ–i remember thinking that when their cover redesign minimized the “chemical & engineering” and emphasized the neutral “C&EN.” I mean, who would be afraid of that? It doesn’t mean anything.
