Eight people joined me for a very fruitful discussion of books for teachers and books for classes on chemistry, the history of science, and other sciences. We all now have an impossible summer list of new gems to read and old favorites to reread!

The video recording of the ChemChat can be found here. There is also a google.drive folder containing a book list and some forms for how to use books in class. (Feel free to add to the folder!) That folder also contains the transcript of the Zoom chat, which has the bulk of the books we talked about.

ChemChats will now take a break for July. We will return August 13th, 4-5 pm east coast time. I will be soliciting a topic for August at the NEACT Summer Conference. We already have a topic for September: Favorite YouTube Channels. AI will also be up again - not sure yet which month. If you have other topics you'd like to discuss please contact me at sklemmer@mac.com.

For those of you who like the save the date, here are the fall 2026 ChemChat dates:

• Aug. 13th 
• Sept. 10th
• Oct. 8th
• Nov. 12th
• Dec. 10th
