Yesterday, we sent out the CHAS monthly newsletter to the entire ACS membership list. People have let me know that they have found their copy in the spam filter of their e-mail system, so I thought I would share the contents of this month‰??s newsletter with DCHAS-L as well.
Let me know if you have any questions about this.

CHAS Webinar May 12:
In 2014, the ACS Committee on Chemical Safety Safe Practices Subcommittee identified Laboratory and Chemical Safety as a critical component of Chemistry graduate education. Knowledge, skills and experiences in laboratory safety are often cited as one of the expectations of PhD new hires. For this reason, the Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) Profession might be an option for newly graduated chemists.
However, early career chemists interested in transitioning into the EHS profession may have some questions about how to effectively prepare for this career field. The May 12 ACS webinar will feature a panel of experienced chemists who now work in the EHS field addressing these questions. Registration for the webinar is free, so spread the word among people who you think might be interested in this professional opportunity. You can register at https://communities.acs.org/t5/Upcoming-Webinars/Careers-in-Chemical-Safety-for-Chemists/ec-p/87068#M29

April DCHAS-L highlights and How to Access the Archives
We're highlighting two DCHAS-L threads this month:
Teacher resigns after lighting student's hands on fire in a science experiment
Decommissioning a Mercury Diffusion Pump
We also want to let CHAS members know that there are two options for seeing what information is available in the DCHAS-L archives:
1. There is a publicly accessible version of the archives hosted by ilpi.com at
http://www.ilpi.com/dchas/
These is the location that public search engines such as google use to index the list discussions. This page includes an internal search function as well as being organized by year and subject line for browsing purposes. This system is pretty convenient approach to find a topic that you remember being discussed on the list, particularly if you have the correct keyword in mind as you search. For this historically minded, the archive also includes DCHAS-L postings since 2003.
The caveat for this page is that it requires manual intervention by the web site‰??s staff to be updated, so it is usually a week or two behind the most recent list traffic. For example, the latest postings available today at the site are from April 22. The listing is reliably updated in that time frame.
2. The LISTSERV program at Princeton that manages the list functions has an always up-to-date archive of the list traffic available at
http://lists.princeton.edu
The challenge that this web site presents is that you need to register your e-mail address on the list to get a password to access the archives. This is free and now that most web browsers manage web passwords seamlessly, not likely to be a major concern. You can set up your password at
https://lists.princeton.edu/cgi-bin/wa?GETPW1
The DCHAS-L homepage at Princeton includes a weekly breakdown of the archives since the list has been hosted at Princeton in 2016 as well as a search engine that offers a few more options than the one at ilpi.com does. The weekly breakdown of list traffic that this server uses is somewhat less convenient for easy browsing of the traffic subject lines.
Let me know if you have any questions about this resource.
