newspaper columns for daily newspapers

Many people are not afraid of driving but are afraid of chemistry. There is a simple reason for this: they learned the skills needed to drive a car at driving school and usually have many years of experience with them. They understand the connections and have them under control. Not so with chemistry. Connections in chemistry are often unknown. And the unknown causes fear.

Explaining connections in chemistry to a broad audience in an easily understandable form is one of the main objectives of the Senior Expert Chemists. The working group public relations has taken on this task. Senior experts have therefore compiled topics from chemistry that are suitable for newspaper columns.

Under the direction of Dr. Ursula Kraska, these contributions are prepared and offered to individual daily newspapers for publication. Under the motto: "From chemistry: what one knows, what one should know", the contributions are made available in a standardised format, naturally machine-readable and therefore editable by editorial teams. If interested, please contact Dr. Kraska (telephone 06150-3353).

Texts for newspaper columns are currently available on the following topics:

To date, the Cellesche Zeitung and the Mittelbayerische Zeitung have published the Senior Expert Chemists' newspaper columns in abridged form. These column texts have also been prepared for the GDCh platform for the public, "Faszination Chemie", in the "Chemistry everywhere" section.
