The Joseph Breen Memorial Fellowship sponsors young international green chemistry scholars to participate in an international green chemistry technical meeting, conference, or training program of their choosing. “Young” international scholar is defined as undergraduate students, graduate students, and post-docs.
On Thursday, October 22nd, the ACS-San Diego Section held its annual Awards Dinner at the UCSD Faculty Club to honor Dr. John W. Kozarich, recipient of the 2009 Distinguished Scientist Award.
Chemistry, as the central science, is the great unifier of multidisciplinary endeavors. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the biotech/pharmaceutical sectors. But finding the key chemical principles and translating them effectively requires broad historical, technological, biomedical and business perspectives.
Mention the word donor to a chemist and it likely evokes images of an electron-rich species. Mention the word donor to Stefanie Sacknoff and it evokes images of a stranger who likely saved her life. Stefanie is the recipient of the American Chemical Society’s 2009 Overcoming Challenges Award sponsored by the Women Chemists Committee.
The American Chemical Society awards program is one of the means by which the Society meets its obligation “to encourage … the advancement of chemistry in all its branches, the promotion of research in chemical science and industry, [and] the improvement of the qualifications and usefulness of chemists.” The continuing excellence of the ACS awards program requires that a number of highly qualified chemistry professionals be nominated and that great care be taken in preparing the nominations.
Eli Lilly and Company and the American Chemical Society (ACS), Women Chemists Committee (WCC), sponsor a program to provide funding for undergraduate, graduate, and postdoctoral women chemists to travel to ACS meetings to present the results of their research. Through this program, Eli Lilly and Company and WCC continue to increase the participation of women [...]
