🧪 Columbus has been a chemistry powerhouse since 1909. Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS), founded in 1907, has been analyzing and curating scientific information from its Columbus base for over 115 years. The organization moved from the University of Illinois to Ohio State University in 1909, later establishing its own campus north of OSU in 1965 where it also installed its first computer center. CAS revolutionized scientific access with the 1995 launch of SciFinder software, allowing chemists to search databases from personal computers. In 2022, CAS released nearly 500,000 registry numbers under an open license, expanding access to chemical information for educators and researchers.

Podcast hosts suggested reform requiring elected officials to resign before seeking another position.
