lots of luck! ________________________________________ From: neact-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [neact-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] on behalf of Barbara Lamont [blamont@xxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, July 10, 2012 1:29 PM To: neact@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [neact] Fwd: [New England Association of Chemistry Teachers] Questions from Men's Health Anyone interested in taking this on and being quoted in Men's Health magazine? ----- Original Message ----- blamont, Markham Heid has sent you a message via the contact form at New England Association of Chemistry Teachers. Message: Dear Mr. Lamont, I write for Men's Health, and I've been asked to assemble a piece that will teach the average man how to employ chemistry to improve his life. Obviously, chemistry plays a huge role in every person's life. But I'm not trying to elucidate the places all around us where chemistry has played a beneficial role. Rather, I'm hoping to tell men how they can employ a bit of chemistry themselves in order to improve some aspect of their life. An example: I've read that a person can "dry age" their own steak at home simply by wrapping the meat in cheesecloth and sticking it in the back of the fridge. I'm hoping you could put me in touch with a chemistry teacher who could explain the chemistry involved in dry aging that leads to the flavor improvement, as well as four more ways that men can employ chemistry to make their lives (or food) better. My deadline on this piece is this Thursday the 12th of July. I'd be grateful if someone could get back to me before then. I'm happy to communicate by phone or email. Also, I've sent this request to Lorraine Kelly as well. Thank you very much for your help.
