Awesome, wish I could have attended. I’ve also appreciated Rudy’s editorials over the last few years.

Thanks for the updates, Matt & Carmen. I’ll have to remember to watch the videos (assuming they were recorded).

Hey Paul- the point of “C&EN is what?” was to note that C&EN is a weekly newsmagazine and that today weeklies are under a lot of different pressures. He was asking audience to think about what the right model for news delivery is today- is it to try to be first? Is it to focus on curation, commentary, etc? The big point was to ask whether ‘slow’ topics (chemjobs, funding, etc) are news. He also posted a laundry list of topics covered on Chembark, prefacing it by saying some joke to the effect of “I’m geriatric, but here’s some stuff to consider.” I didn’t get a shot of that slide. I wasn’t around for the whole session but I thought it was great. Paul Anastas had some really great thoughts about learning the language of each tribe you must communicate with (Congress, businesspersons, grandmas).

It was a good session. Although .. I think that you would have been a little disappointed with Schulz’s talk. More of a remembrance than insider information. The Sames-Sezen portion was all Sezen all the time.
