Stereo Chemistry

Craig Bettenhausen, Nick Ishmael-Perkins, Liam Conlon

Booking Overview

This is a science and chemistry interview/editorial show that primarily features Chemical & Engineering News reporters and editors, with occasional external panelists and experts. Credible pitches would include recognized chemists, science-policy leaders, scientific-society executives, and experts on chemistry’s intersections with climate, sustainability, and emerging technology; booking is likely high difficulty because external appearances are infrequent and the demonstrated panel format favors prominent subject-matter leaders.
