Quick update – someone has kindly pointed out that Irma Goldberg is not, in fact, the only woman to have an organic reaction unambiguously named after her, so I've corrected the text here accordingly.
And if you do a graphic on the forever chemicals, I think it would be very relevant with the chemical spill concerns in Ohio, etc. plus the food chain issues with humans catching and eating fresh water fish. We have a well, so I always wonder about that. We filter our water and buy the filters/pitchers from Clearly Filtered. But that company sends me information on water safety and educational stuff. I bet they would like your graphics also. Or make one that would work for their needs and they might buy it from you for their use!! Thanks for what you are doing.
I find your stuff very interesting. Great job. Recently I have been wondering about PFAS and related "forever" chemicals. I have been reading about issues with air fryers, parchment paper, and hidden places we may be exposed. Have you done a graphic report on these categories of things. If not, that would be my suggestion for something to look into. Thanks so much.
Sorry, I must have missed this comment last time around, just spotted it while prepping the latest issue! I actually haven't done anything on 'forever chemicals', surprisingly. Definitely one for the future with the increasing attention on legislation against them. Thanks for the suggestion!

There's the Catellani reaction, discovered by Marta Catellani: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catellani_reaction
There's also the Staudinger-Bertozzi ligation, partly named for Nobel Prize-winning chemist Carolyn Bertozzi.
