Did life on Mars become life on Earth? What technology worked invisibly behind the headlines to make the Human Genome Project possible? How did wisps of material barely 1/50,000th the width of a human hair become forerunners of a new genre of medicines?
Those topics highlight the premiere episode of a new ACS video series, Prized Science: How the Science Behind ACS Awards Impacts Your Life; the first episode focuses on the award-winning work of Priestley Medalist Richard N. Zare. Rich with high-definition graphics and animations, and commentary suitable for classroom use and other audiences of students and non-scientists, the video is available without charge at the Prized Science website, on YouTube, from iTunes, and on DVD.ACS encourages educators, schools, museums, science centers, news organizations, and others to embed links to Prized Science on their websites. Additional episodes in the series, which focuses on ACS' 2010 award recipients, will be issued periodically in the months ahead.
