Ralph and Neal,
How about a letter from CHAS, ORGN and I&EC on the scale-up process and issues? ORGN has taken to highlighting the value of Process chemistry in a Monday session at meetings that also probably needs a safety discussion in it.

>I agree that bringing this concern to the producers of the show is a worthwhile effort, but we can also use these segments to start a discussion with students about the potential challenges associated with the scale up process. I believe that students are more likely to think through the challenges if we leverage something they are familiar with to start the conversation. For example, I used excerpts from a Mythbusters episode on whether HF is really the best way to dispose of bodies on Breaking Bad (it isn't) to start a HF safety training session.

>The Youtube fire challenge videos mentioned in the article appear to me to be another teachable moment, both in terms of flammable liquids safety and the experience of burn victims, which Sammye did such a good job of bringing to our attention at Tuesday's symposium. I hope the EHS community can make good use of such moments wherever they appear.
