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 learnt the actions required to drive a car at driving school and usually have extensive experience of them. They understand the interrelationships and have them under control. Not so with chemistry. Interrelationships in chemistry are often unknown. And the unknown causes fear.

Explaining interrelationships in chemistry to a broad audience in an easily understandable form is one of the main aims of the Senior Expert Chemists. The working group public relations took 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 available in a consistent format, of course 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, "Fascination Chemistry", in the "Chemistry everywhere" section.
