Drawing on content from the pages of C&EN, the news channel also produces its own original content, significantly expanding C&EN鈥檚 coverage of environmental research.

The Environmental SCENE is the first of what will be several C&EN news channels. The magazine anticipates developing channels covering news in analytical chemistry and instrumentation, medicinal chemistry, organic chemistry, materials chemistry, the chemical-biology interface and other areas. Look for the next channel later this year.

The Environmental SCENE is edited by C&EN鈥檚 Lila Guterman and Michael Torrice. C&EN Editor-in-Chief Rudy Baum wrote an editorial about the new news channel in the July 5 issue of C&EN.
