Anne Erwin Moody developed approaches to teaching chemistry that joined chemical safety with scientific ethics. A coauthored 1999 paper describes using readings and case studies to examine decisions about personal safety, honesty, and integrity in chemical work. It treats these decisions as skills that students can practice through discussion.[ref]

Laboratory handout hosted by Truman State University. The first page gives the laboratory attribution AEMoody and the revision July 2013. The attribution is consistent with Anne Erwin Moody in the institutional context, but is not an explicit full-name author byline. The attached apparatus description on p. 3 explicitly credits an adaptation from I2R literature; no original instrument-design authorship is assigned to Moody or Truman.
Cited passages: p. 1: title, Revised July 2013, Organic Chemistry Lab: AEMoody; pp. 1–2, Experiment 1: preparation, actual final volume, water blank extinction, sample extinction, corrected rotations and concentration plot; p. 2, Experiment 2: varying pathlength and corrected-rotation plot; p. 3, The Design and General Use of Simple Polarimeters: I2R adaptation, vertical path, yellow-filter incandescent/tungsten light, sheet polarizers, extinction eyepiece, coarse temperature/pathlength/angle tolerances.

R. Griffith Freeman developed chemical education that treats the conduct of science as part of learning chemistry. With Anne Erwin Moody, he described a sophomore seminar combining chemical-safety readings, contemporary safety reports and case discussions of scientific honesty.[ref]
The approach makes students reason about decisions and evidence, rather than memorize only a list of prohibited actions. This entry concerns the author identified in that primary paper's Truman State University byline; the source does not establish additional personal metadata.
