Issue Highlights
A Chemical Canvas. In the article Moving Chemistry Education into 3D: A Tetrahedral Metaphor for Understanding Chemistry, Peter Mahaffy proposes framing chemistry education in new ways. By emphasizing the human element in chemistry, students can make successful and imaginative connections between the chemistry in textbooks and their lives, and this provides motivation for a deeper understanding of the molecular, symbolic, and macroscopic dimensions of chemistry. Students are often eager to communicate this new understanding to others in creative ways that reflect ownership of concepts, as demonstrated by the not-so-still life painting “Complexity of Life” shown on the cover.

“Complexity of Life” painting by Andrea Kingma.
