Chemistry World August 28, 2015 Tim Wogan	Worker bees 'chemically castrated' through diet The role of the phytochemical p-coumaric acid in determining whether female honey bee larvae develop into queens or workers has been discovered unexpectedly by researchers in the US.
Chemistry World August 28, 2015 Andy Extance	'Fire fountain' data illuminate lunar history The most precise measurements yet of carbon present in volcanic glass samples found on the Moon suggest that the 'fire fountain' lava explosions that formed them were propelled by carbon monoxide.
Chemistry World August 28, 2015	Agatha Christie, the queen of crime chemistry Agatha Christie used her chemical training to great -- and accurate -- effect in her detective novels. Kathryn Harkup looks at Christie the chemist
Chemistry World August 28, 2015 Derek Lowe	A risky business How much of a risk is it to work in an organic chemistry lab? Back when I was first beginning bench work in graduate school, I was home during the holidays and telling some lab stories.
