I want to know the answer to this too. I can say that a number of chemists have had success applying natural language processing machine learning methods to chemistry problems.
Did a feature on that couple years ago: cen.acs.org/physical-chemist…
Very good news. ACS still has a massive amount of work to do if there's any chance of fixing the mess they made, but this seems like the right first step.
Good news cen.acs.org/policy/publishin… via @cenmag
Dorea was the connection many C&EN readers had to the magazine. Outstanding journalism aside, I'm convinced that she is a big reason @cenmag is so well loved right now. And some other outlet is going to be very lucky to get her.

I also resigned last week from @AmerChemSociety after almost 11 years because of the continued assaults on @cenmag’s integrity. I am so sad for the amazing people who work here and our readers. No one at ACS is acknowledging the problem or seems to be working to fix it.

It’s also worth saying, as someone pointed out to me, that Connelly’s assertion that C&EN will continue its safety coverage is violating C&EN’s editorial independence. I hope it’s true, but that’s not up to him.
I get why Connelly and others believe the first is true, but I do not. C&EN and ACS’s ability to get and keep the journalists who can do that kind of work is directly tied to C&EN’s reputation. Making it more of a society organ hurts that rep. And I have told him as much.

Caffeine-free Diet Coke is more substantive than this editorial

The @AmerChemSociety has gutted the journalism of its flagship magazine, C&E News.
I did not renew my student membership after graduation. I told the fundraiser who called me that as an academic postdoc, I didn't see why I should help fund million dollar executive salaries

C&EN advisors put out this open letter, but we're always interested in hearing from members kitchenchemistry.substack.co…
They've both said it publicly now, so the answer is editor in chief Bibiana Campos Seijo and policy and content partnerships executive editor Jyllian Kemsley.

My last day @cenmag and ACS was this past Monday. I’m on the market for a new position and excited about what the future may bring.
Jyllian assigned and edited the two C&EN stories I’m most proud of. She mentored me as I stepped out of my reporting comfort zone. This is a tremendous loss for @cenmag.

I’m feeling awful (again) for my @cenmag friends and former colleagues. @AmerChemSociety has just fired the two most senior editors. Another unfathomable, destructive decision. #chemtwitter
Haha I just put it together that it was you in the @DefectorMedia story. I should have realized sooner.
