Photosensitizers are important chemical compounds that have a wide array of industrial and research applications. These photosensitizers absorb light and then use that gained energy to transfer electrons to or from catalysts, a distinctive ability that is used to help produce anything from pharmaceuticals to renewable fuels.

I was watching some sports this past week and being interested in fitness, I compared the sports and running for the cardio-respiratory benefits. One event was the Tour de France and the other was the Wimbledon Tennis Championships. The athletes in the Tour de France have some of the stages of the Tour well over 100 miles and take over five hours to complete. Some of the men’s tennis games went for five sets that lasted close to five hours. When I trained for marathons and was doing 20 - 22 mile runs, I set aside three hours to complete the distance. All of these events require lots of endurance and a strong heart and lungs to finish.
