Speaking of Chemistry - chemists doing cultural preservation

Over the last year, the American Chemical Society has been producing short videos for their Speaking of Chemistry series.  If you want to explore the ways chemical knowledge is applied to a variety of subjects and get additional insight into the different ways those with chemistry training can be employed, I recommend the video series to you.






The latest video takes the audience on an adventure to the Lower Pecos Canyonlands where an array of cultural artifacts, including rock art, are being documented by archaeologists and chemists before they are sufficiently degraded by time and water impoundments on the Rio Grande River.  Watch the episode at this link.
