A section in this issue of The Chemist is dedicated to the titanium element. Manayil Valappil Swapna and Karikal R. Haridas report research on a simple, inexpensive method for the low-temperature synthesis of phase-pure nanocrystalline rutile titanium dioxide. Ann M. Valentine describes how she has been exploring a possible biological role for titanium since her first year of graduate school.

In addition to the previous articles, there are contributions from others. For example, Hannah Rice, and co-authors report a study comparing the diagnostic efficacy of three tumor markers (prostatic acid phosphate [PAP], testosterone [T], and prostate specific antigen [PSA] for serodiagnosis of prostate cancer.

In the Public Understanding of Chemistry section, W. Jeffrey Hurst presents communicating science, a very important topic that scientists need to be aware of. D. D. Kumar discusses a high tech weather-related application of soap bubbles. Sarah Reisert takes a historical look at The AIC Awards Program and provides a comprehensive list of winners that includes Nobel Laureates. Teri W. Odom writes “How to Remove Bias from Peer Review.”
