On the occasion of the 150th anniversary of ACS, C&EN is convening perspectives across two panel discussions to explore how chemistry societies might support science into the future. As chemistry remains the "central science," AI, climate change, and a shifting global landscape are some of the factors putting these institutions under pressure to adapt. This is an opportunity to hear from global industry leaders as they explore what the future for communities of science might look like.

The 2026 Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded to Henri B. Kagan at Paris-Saclay University and Kenso Soai at the Tokyo University of Science for their work on manipulating the synthesis of chiral molecules. C&EN reporter Bri Barbu joins host Gina Vitale to discuss what these chemists discovered, how their insights are now applied to medicines, and how their work shed light on the origin of life itself.
