Our 24 new Cottrell Scholars are now part of an amazing group of colleagues who are conducting path-breaking research, developing exciting ways to improve student learning, and serving in leadership roles within and beyond their home institutions. As I have learned about the foundation this past year, I have been quite impressed with the Cottrell Scholar Program. Past and current Scholars have emphasized to me that this award is much more than recognition for a successful research record prior to moving into an independent position, which is often the primary criterion for early career faculty awards. It is also much more than the funding! Instead, Cottrell Scholars have pointed out that they value the: • Community of faculty who share a deep commitment to both research and education; • Opportunity to learn about teaching innovations that can be applied in their courses; • Conversations across the physical sciences with exposure to complementary research fields and methods; • Diversity of faculty, including faculty from different types of institutions and with a broad distribution across the country; • Encouragement to identify collaborative initiatives that would benefit the Cottrell Scholar community, and other faculty in chemistry, physics, and astronomy; • Deep engagement in an important issue at the annual conference; • Introduction to, and mentoring by, past Cottrell Scholars and Senior Program Directors Silvia Ronco and Richard Wiener; and • Membership in the RCSA family, which can lead to additional support for new research directions. Over the past couple of decades, we have seen a shift in our approach to undergraduate education, moving the emphasis from how faculty teach to how students learn. As quantitative scientists, Cottrell Scholars are especially attuned to the importance of experimental design and data analytics, and we will have the chance over the next few days to take that scientific approach to questions of how students learn most effectively. I would like to thank Tim McKay, the Arthur F. Thurnau Professor of Physics, Astronomy, Education, and the Director of the Digital Innovation Greenhouse, for guiding us in this exploration. I look forward to meeting each of you, and to sharing several days of talking about science research and science education with you. Enjoy the conference! Daniel Linzer President and Chief Executive Officer Research Corporation for Science Advancement 4 2018: Personalizing Education From the Program Directors Welcome to the 2018 Cottrell Scholar Conference! Student success, inclusion and diversity, and tailoring educational methods to students’ backgrounds are key issues in STEM education today, and thus highly appropriate as the focus of our 24th-annual conference. In his presentation, “Equity in STEM Education—Personalizing Education for Student Success,” keynote speaker Tim McKay (Arthur F. Thurnau Professor of Physics, Astronomy and Education, and Director of the Digital Innovation Greenhouse at the University of Michigan) will address these issues head-on and will encourage the audience to explore ways to implement change at their institutions. We also have on hand a magnificent set of discussion facilitators with extensive experience on students’ programs, mentoring, assessment and effective science curriculum. We’re hoping the ideas generated from your interactions with these accomplished teacher-scholars—in Q&A sessions, during official breakout sessions, and in your numerous one-on-one conversations during the next two-and- a-half days—will lead to a new level of awareness of the need for effective methods for teaching and mentoring the next generation of scientists. Inclusiveness and diversity begin with you. So listen, speak up, and, above all, network with conference participants. A main goal of the conference is to get to know each other! A great way to pursue new ideas and quality projects is to participate in the Cottrell Scholars Collaborative. A cross-disciplinary network begun in 2011, CSC’s overarching goal is to improve undergraduate and graduate science education at colleges and universities across the country. CSC participation is also a good way to develop your academic leadership skills. We hope you find this event informative and stimulating. Please contact us with advice on how to make both the CS program and the conference even better! Zachary Schultz Silvia Ronco Associate Professor of Chemistry and Biochemistry Senior Program Director The Ohio State University Research Corporation for Science Advancement 5 2018: Personalizing Education Conference Objectives and Survey To empower scholars to promote personalized educational methods and student success in academic settings, participants will: B Discuss successful activities and approaches for engaging with students, colleagues, and administrators at different types of institutions. B Learn how to work with colleagues and administrators to engender buy-in for educational change. B Explore partnerships engaging diverse constituents. B Become familiar with ongoing activities aimed at transforming STEM education at the national level. B Identify tactics that enable collective action. B Have the opportunity to form teams and become involved in educational projects of national impact. B Engage in collaborative work that will continue throughout the year. Statement on Promoting Diversity and Inclusion, and Avoiding Harassment Research Corporation for Science Advancement fosters an environment for listening and considering new ideas from a diverse group, with respect for all participants without regard to gender, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, age or any other aspect of how we identify ourselves other than as fellow scientists. RCSA does not tolerate any form of harassment, which could include verbal or physical conduct that has the purpose or effect of substantially interfering with anyone else’s participation or performance at this conference, or of creating an intimidating, hostile, or offensive environment; any such harassment may result in dismissal from the conference.

This seal, approved on June 26, 1856, consisted of an open book surrounded by rays of light and circled by the words North western University, Evanston, Illinois. Thirty years later Daniel Bonbright, professor of Latin and a member of Northwestern’s original faculty, redesigned the seal, Whatsoever things are true, retaining the book and light rays and adding two quotations. whatsoever things are honest, On the pages of the open book he placed a Greek quotation from the Gospel of John, chapter 1, verse 14, translating to The Word . whatsoever things are just, full of grace and truth. Circling the book are the first three whatsoever things are pure, words, in Latin, of the University motto: Quaecumque sunt vera whatsoever things are lovely, (What soever things are true). The outer border of the seal carries the name of the University and the date of its founding. This seal, whatsoever things are of good report; which remains Northwestern’s official signature, was approved by if there be any virtue, the Board of Trustees on December 5, 1890. and if there be any praise, The full text of the University motto, adopted on June 17, 1890, is think on these things. from the Epistle of Paul the Apostle to the Philippians, chapter 4, verse 8 (King James Version).

B. Woodward) 1966-1968 ■ACADEMIC APPOINTMENT Instructor of Chemistry, Nagoya University 1966-1970 Associate Professor of Agricultural Chemistry, Nagoya University 1970-1974 Visiting Professor of Chemistry, Harvard University 1972-1973 Professor of Chemistry, Harvard University 1974-1982 Morris Loeb Professor of Chemistry, Harvard University 1982-2002 Morris Loeb Professor of Chemistry, Emeritus, Harvard University 2002- ー2ー ■RESEARCH TOPICS (chronological order) 1. Chemical studies of bioluminescence: The luminescent substance named luciferin is an unstable compound, making its structural determination extremely difficult. Dr. Kishi, however, determined the structures of luciferins, such as those in Cypridina, Genji fireflies, krill, dinoflagellates, and the luminous shellfish of Latia (1960s–1980s). 2. Total synthesis of complex natural products: The pufferfish toxin tetrodotoxin, the structure of which was determined in 1964, is still known as one of the most difficult natural products to synthesize due to its highly functionalized structural complexity. Dr. Kishi achieved the world’s first total synthesis of this compound in 1972. Later, he achieved total synthesis of the paralytic shellfish toxin saxitoxin, the anticancer drug mitomycin C, the fungus toxin sporidesmin, and the β-lactam antibiotics (1970s–1980s). 3. Development of acyclic stereocontrol in total synthesis of natural products: Until the early 1970s, total synthesis of polyether antibiotics was almost impossible due to the presence of numerous asymmetric centers.

  • 2018 Xingda Lecture Schedule
    兴大报告年报 Xingda Lecture Yearbook Preface At the turning point to reform and boost its research and education system in 1995, College of Chemistry and Molecular Engineering (CCME) at Peking University, China, proposed to set up a science forum to foster idea refreshments and brainstorming between its faculty and outside scientists, aiming at broadening its collaborations with institutions of chemical sciences and educations all over the world. Against all odds, CCME and Beijing Xinda Scientific Systems hit it off instantly to jointly establish the Xingda Lecture Series. Thanks to its enthusiasm for science, Beijing Xinda Scientific Systems has been financially supporting this lecture series ever since then. From the very beginning, Prof. Chunhua Yan had been serving as the organizer of this lecture series until 2015 after which Prof. Kai Wu was named as the successor. The Xingda Lecture Series is held on every Friday throughout the academic year. Up to the time this booklet was edited, about 500 scientists had been invited to give talks at the Xingda Lecture Series which nearly cover all the research areas in chemistry and related disciplines. Needless to say, this lecture series won’t be able to last without great contribution from these scientists. With the great success of the Xingda Lecture series that has already benefited the faculty and students at CCME and the science communities inside and outside PKU as well, CCME in 2015 made the decision to upgrade this forum to the Xingda Lectureship that would be held by invited renowned and distinguished scientists from all over the world. This is also echoing the mission of Peking University in the new century which is to advance sciences and cultivate next-generation scientists for the betterment of humanity.

  • Department of Chemistry
    Department of Chemistry In the 2008–2009 academic year, the Chemistry Department continued its strong programs in undergraduate and graduate education. Currently there are 226 graduate students, 121 postdoctoral researchers, and 70 undergraduate chemistry majors. As of July 1, 2009, the Chemistry Department faculty will be comprised of 27 full-time faculty members, including one assistant, four associate, and 22 full professors, one of whom is an Institute Professor. There are 12 professors emeriti, including one Institute Professor. Timothy Jamison was promoted to full professor, and Alice Ting was promoted to associate professor with tenure. All of these promotions will take effect on July 1, 2009. In addition, two new assistant professors—Christian Degen and Elizabeth Nolan—will join the Chemistry faculty in 2009. Highlights Dr. Christian L. Degen to Join Faculty The aim of Christian Degen’s research is the application of magnetic resonance imaging and spectroscopy at the extreme nanoscale in structural biology and for chemical surface identification. Such a capability will open new access to structural and chemical investigations of single biological entities, macromolecular assemblies, and nanostructured surfaces. Reaching these goals demands the development of novel, high- resolution magnetic sensing tools sensitive enough to access the nanometer regime. Dr. Degen earned his PhD in physical chemistry under Professor Beat H. Meier at ETH Zurich, Switzerland. He will join the department in September 2009. Dr. Elizabeth M. Nolan to Join Faculty Elizabeth Nolan’s research interests lie at the interface of chemistry and biology, with particular emphasis on the roles of metal ions in human physiology and disease.
