We have an interview with Green Bank Observatory Scientist Will Armentrout about the 20-m telescope on site and how you can use it for science or education.
Finally, we take a look back at the first interstellar detection of methanol this month.
Check out the ACS Astrocheminar Webseries, restarting this fall (http://astro.phys-acs.org/AstroCheminar.html).
