Nominations are now open for “Talented 12,” C&EN’s annual feature that highlights a dozen brilliant young scientists who are shaping the future of chemistry. Talented 12 is an excellent launch pad for early-career researchers to attract students and postdocs, enhance their grant applications, and generally raise their profile within the scientific community. Do you know an outstanding young researcher that should be featured on C&EN’s list? Submit their name through this short form by April 15 for consideration in our 2019 class.

I was about a year into my engineering career when I asked myself if this is really what I was going to be doing for the next 35-40 years of my life. If I had to sit and wait for one more strength model to run, I was going to gouge my eyeballs out with a spoon. My job was literally adding a few more composite plies to the model, rerunning it and checking the strength to make sure it wasn’t exceeded. If it was, add a few more plies to the model (rinse, repeat). I felt like a monkey pressing the same buttons over and over again.

When Isabel Escobar thought about applying for the position as chair of her chemical engineering department at the University of Kentucky in Lexington in 2015, she knew that she was qualified. Over the previous 15 years, she’d moved up the academic ladder at her former institution, the University of Toledo in Ohio, from an assistant professorship to becoming a full professor and associate dean. That’s why it was so jarring to hear from a new colleague, “You should be spending time with your small child, not being a department chair,” she recalls.

It's been a huge day for science. And an even bigger day for female scientists.
On Wednesday, we Earthlings got our first direct look at a black hole, thanks to the Event Horizon Telescope, an array of eight radio telescopes around the world working together to create the image. But in the midst of making jokes about how that photo kinda sorta looks the eye of Sauron and wondering how this newfound information could impact Albert Einstein's theories of gravity, social media focused on making sure one of the women behind the project gets credit for her contributions.

You may have seen this past week that Discovery relaunched its global brand.
The promo for the rebrand, rolled out across social media and TV spots, features a medley of Discovery scenes, stars, and bad-ass nature shots, set to the Blue Swede song "Hooked on a Feeling."
While the promo is pretty catchy, one feature has understandably struck people as bizarre. The promo essentially contains no prominently featured women, nor a great deal of diversity in general.
