Chemistry World November 2, 2012 Rebecca Trager	Battle over US environment agency's human studies Two prominent Republican politicians, who have repeatedly accused the EPA of killing jobs through overregulation, are condemning the agency for lax oversight of its ongoing human research studies involving concentrated airborne particles.
Chemistry World October 11, 2012 Andy Extance	Perovskite posits answer to xenon riddle If meteorites and the Earth were formed from similar materials at the same time, where did the xenon go? Some scientists think that the answer could be found in xenon trapped in the Earth's iron core, or in ice, water or rocks near the surface.
Chemistry World October 9, 2012 Paul Fennell	Carbon capture Clean Energy, Climate and Carbon by Peter Cook, is an excellent introduction to many topics in the field of climate change, with a particular focus on carbon capture and storage technologies.
HHMI Bulletin Fall 2012 Virginia Hughes	Dianne Newman: Connecting Cultures Medical and environmental microbiologists have separate scientific cultures, but the same he same methods geochemists apply to sediments and ice cores can be tweaked for cells, tissues, and organs.
HHMI Bulletin Fall 2012	2012 Holiday Lectures on Science -- Changing Planet: Past, Present, Future In HHMI's 2012 Holiday Lectures on Science, three leading scientists will explore the history of life on Earth and the forces that have shaped, and will continue to shape, our ever-changing planet.
Chemistry World September 13, 2012 Laura Howes	Sponges to mop up marine methane It may seem like the story from a children's cartoon, but Chinese scientist's claim that their sponge could suck up methane from the oceans, helping fight climate change and providing a new energy source at the same time.
