In this episode, we’re sharing a guest episode from the “Chemical Processing Distilled” podcast from our sister publication Chemical Processing, hosted by its Editor-in-Chief Traci Purdum. She describes eight happy and fascinating accidents that ended up having profound effects on the chemical industry and on humanity. Even if you’re not in the chemical industry, you’ll enjoy this look at unintended discoveries that changed the world.

If you work in the chemical industry, you’ll want to subscribe to “Chemical Processing Distilled” on your favorite podcast app. This is one of the best podcasts for this industry — it’s educational and interesting, and I look forward to it coming out every week.

And as always with each “Automation Chat" episode, The Journal’s Executive Editor Theresa Houck shares a family-friendly, silly Joke of the Day.
