Online technologies facilitate communi- dates cation, writing of articles, discussions, and ongoing reflection, although we are precluded from exploring and realising ideas in the laboratory environ- ment with our students and colleagues. In the meantime, we will all un- doubtedly continue to publish articles that have been stuck in our drawers for far too long, conceive and write project appli- cations, and develop new ideas and approaches. We have slowed down the rhythm of our movement, but we have not slowed down our thoughts and ideas that can be finally conceived in this slow-moving world for implementation in the fu- ture. ISGS is the initiator of the Sol Gel Conferences, with the 21st meeting being co-organized with the University of Lyon and Professor Stéphane Parola as Conference Chairman. The shape and format of the Lyon meeting is, at present, uncertain due to the current situation. However, while the format of the meeting might well be different to that of the previous 20 meetings, we are committed to ensuring that the Conference in Lyon will proceed. We hope only that we will be able to shake hands with our colleagues, have discussions, meals and beer in safety and without large distances separating us! We know that the only truth of this world is that everything is changing and that we will never experience today the same world as yesterday, but we do not know yet what the world will be like after the coronavirus pandemic has passed. Above all else, stay safe and well! The XX International Sol-Gel Conference St Petersburg, Russia. 25-30 August 2019 The 20th International Sol-Gel Conference took place at ITMO University, St. Peters- burg, Russia from August the 25th to 30th, 2019. This was the first time that this prestigious event has been held in Russia. The Interna- tional Sol-Gel Society (ISGS) and ITMO University joined forces to or- ganize the conference, with the local organizing committee consisting of Vladimir Vinogradov, Head of SCAMT Institute, ITMO University; David Avnir from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem; Vadim Kessler, from the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences; and Daria Kozlo- va, ITMO’s Vice-Rector. More than 500 participants from 56 countries took part in the conference, where the 10 top participating countries were China, Russia, Japan, France, Germany, Spain, Korea, Poland, Italy, and Taiwan, all gathered in St. Petersburg to discuss the future of the field, share their experience, and explore promising develop- ments. The grand opening of the Sol-Gel Conference took place at the Royal Tovstonogov Bolshoi Drama Theatre. 1 The XX International Sol-Gel Conference St Petersburg, Russia. 25-30 August 2019 (continued) The main theme of the conference was the focus on young researchers, represented by the motto "Next Genera- tion" of the Sol-Gel Conferences. Many special activities were devoted to the Next Generation, including the inau- gural 10 minutes sol-gel science slam presentations, a panel discussing future career perspectives, various awards including the Ulrich Award and awards for PhD students, participation of the younger generation in all so- cial activities including the banquette, and substantial financial support and low or zero registration fees. The program underwent significant changes compared to previous years: All lectures were plenary or invited lec- tures, and all contributions were in the form of posters. This ensured that all oral lectures were of wide scope, ed- ucational, and with a broad overview. Also a “first” in this series of conferences was the method of selection of invited lectures: The members of the ISGS were asked to propose the lecturers, and this democratic procedure has worked very well, giving place to many new faces and new directions. The plenary reports were delivered by globally renowned, highly cited scientists, including, Peter Fratzl (Max Planck Institute, Germany), Eugenia Ku- macheva (University of Toronto), Aziz Muzafarov (the Russian Academy of Sciences), Frank Caruso (The Uni- versity of Melbourne), Andrey Rogach (City University of Hong Kong), Joanna Aizenberg (Harvard University), Kazuki Nakanishi (Kyoto University), Markus Niederberger (ETH Zurich), Mario Pagliaro (National Research Council), Mari-Ann Einarsrud (Norwegian University of Science and Technology), and Nicola Hüsing (University of Salzburg). The conference involved a wide variety of topics, including aerogels; chemistry and fundamentals of the sol-gel process; non-conventional synthesis methods; functional organic-inorganic hybrid materials; nano- and micro- structured materials; hierarchical structured materials; biomaterials, biohybrids, biomineralization, and bioinspired materials; carbon and hybrid carbon-based gels; protective and functional coatings and thin films; characteriza- tion and modeling techniques for sol-gel materials; catalysis and photo-catalysis; membranes; energy and envi- ronmental applications; health and medical applications including controlled drug release; electronic, magnetic and ferroelectric applications; sensors, optics, photonics and optoelectronics; insulation; industrialization of sol- gel science and technology and sol-gel alternatives to PVD and other conventional industrial processes. All of these have shown during the conference that sol-gel materials have entered every aspect of modern life, and that the future of this family of materials is very bright. 2 In Memoriam: Professor Emeritus John D. Mackenzie John D. Mackenzie, a professor emeritus of materials science and engineering at the UCLA Samueli School of Engineering who made pioneering contributions to glass and ceramics processing, passed away on Feb. 19, af- ter a short illness. He was 94. Professor Mackenzie proposed the establishment of the International Sol-Gel Soci- ety at the sol-gel workshop in Padova in 2001, and the ISGS was formed in 2005. Known to friends and colleagues as “Doug,” he joined the UCLA faculty in 1969 as a full professor, and was the inaugural holder of the Nippon Sheet Glass Company Chair in Materials Science. Mackenzie earned his bachelor’s degree from Birkbeck College, in London, in 1952 and his doctorate from Impe- rial College London in 1954. He held post-doctoral and lecturer positions at Princeton University for two years, followed by another post-doctoral appointment at Cambridge University. He was a research scientist at General Electric Research Laboratory in Schenectady, New York from 1957 to 1963. Mackenzie then turned to academia, joining Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, in Troy, New York, as a professor, staying until 1969 when he joined UCLA as a professor of engineering. At UCLA, Mackenzie supervised 32 Ph.D. stu- dents, 51 master’s degree students, and some three dozen post-doctoral researchers and visiting scientists. He served as chair of the Materials Science and Engineering Depart- ment from 1979 to 1982. Mackenzie retired from full-time teaching in 1994, but continued to conduct research and served for several years as an associate dean for research and planning. He received numerous major international honors for his research, including election to the National Academy of Engineering in 1976 for “contributions to glass technology through application of principles of chemistry and physics” and the Centenary Award in 1991 from the Japanese Ceramics Society. Mac- kenzie was a fellow of the British Royal Socie- ty of Chemistry and the American Ceramic Society. In addition to authoring more than 300 publi- cations, Mackenzie was co-editor of 10 books and was awarded 15 U.S. patents. He found- ed the Journal of Non-Crystalline Solids in 1969 and was its editor-in-chief for 20 years. He was the recipient of the 2019 L. David Pye Lifetime Achievement Award, from the American Ceramic Society, for his contributions to the field. Mackenzie was preceded in death by his wife of 65 years, Jennifer, who passed on October 2, 2019. He is sur- vived by his children Timothy, Andrea and Peter; his grandchildren Jacqueline Mackenzie, Gwyneth Mackenzie, and Kiana Martin; his children’s spouses Liane Curtis, Jenni Martin and Loretta Mackenzie; as well as his brother

Dieser gilt als der Entdecker der Glaselek- trode (Cremer, 1906). Ihr Vater stammte aus Ürdingen. Großvater und Vater der Mutter, Els- beth Rothmund, waren berühmte Kliniker an der Münchner Universität. Ihr Onkel Viktor Rothmund war Ordinarius für Physikalische Chemie in Prag. Die Berufung des Vaters nach Köln (1909) und nach Berlin an die Tierärztilche Hochschule (1911) war ein schwerer Eingriff in dem jungen Leben der gebürtigen Münchnerin. Zuerst wurde ihr in Köln der Dialekt radikal abgewöhnt, und der Schulwechsel in das preußische Berlin war wohl Erika Cremer auch nicht ganz im Sinne der kleinen Erika. Hei- misch wurde sie weder in Köln noch Berlin. Ihre Sehnsucht waren München und Miesbach wo sie einen Teil ihrer Kindheit verbrachte und vorallem die Alpen (Patat, 1965; Bobleter, 1990, 1997; Stöger, 1990). Mit dem Reifezeugnis an der Oberrealschule in der Kochstraße in Berlin immatri- kulierte sich Erika Cremer im Sommer 1921 an der Friedrich-Wilhelm-Universität in Berlin.

  • A Century of Chromatography — Gas Analysis in the First 50 Years
    GC CONNECTIONS A Century of Chromatography — Gas Analysis in the First 50 Years John V. Hinshaw, Serveron Corp., Hillsboro, Oregon, USA. Although many decades intervened between the beginnings of chromatography as a liquid–solid adsorption technique and the formal invention of gas–liquid-phase chromatography, those years were full of advances in gaseous chemical separations. This month in “GC Connections,” John Hinshaw reviews the developments before 1952 that established the basis for the modern practice of gas chromatography. The date 21 March 2003 marked the twenty-first century separation scientists, Gas Adsorption passage of 100 years since Mikhail Tswett between gas- and liquid-based Modern chromatographers are familiar (1872–1919) presented a lecture to the chromatography separations; they worked with gas chromatography (GC) column Biological Section of the Warsaw Society of in entirely different disciplines with packings that are the direct descendents of Natural Scientists on his 1901–1903 divergent goals.

  • Michael Polanyi and the Social Studies of Science
    Michael Polanyi and the Social Studies of Science: Comments on Mary Jo Nye’s Michael Polanyi and His Generation Theodore L. Brown ABSTRACT Key Words: Michael Polanyi, Mary Jo Nye, Weimar Berlin, republic of science, scientific authority, social construction of science,Thomas Kuhn, Robert Merton, Ludwik Fleck, J. D. Bernal. This review offers comments on the book, Michael Polanyi and His Generation: Origins of the Social Construction of Science by Mary Jo Nye. Mary Jo Nye’s book about Michael Polanyi and his fellow pioneers in social studies of science is a joy to read. Her perspectives on the development of this field of inquiry, and her assessment of Polanyi’s role are presented through an unusual organizational structure. While her book is not intended to be primarily biographical, her account of Polanyi’s career, with its twists and turns, triumphs and defeats, is filled with many fascinating insights into his life and work. Nye begins by relating her own early introduction to the social aspects of science as a member of the 1960s graduate school generation studying the history of science. It was at about this time that study of the social aspects of science was ceded as having an importance in its own right, apart from science’s intellectual history. Nye has aimed to show that the origins of new social conceptions of science can be traced to the scientific culture and political events of Europe in the 1930s. Michael Polanyi’s story is an excellent vehicle for conveying just how those conceptions arose and evolved over time into a full-blown field of intellectual endeavor.

S.451-482 Der Beitrag des Ungarn Georg von Hevesy zur Entwicklung der Naturwissenschaft in Deutschland im 20. Jahrhundert Siegfried Niese, Wilsdruff 1. Einleitung Georg von Hevesy gehört zu den bedeutendsten Gelehrten des 20. Jahrhunderts, was bereits seine Auszeichnung mit dem Nobelpreis bezeugt. Gleichzeitig bestätigt er die als „Ungarisches Phänomen“ bezeichnete Tatsache, dass aus dem relativ kleinen Land eine so große Zahl bedeutender Wissenschaftler, unter ihnen die Kernforscher Georg von Hevesy, Leo Szilárd, Eugene Paul Wigner und Eduard Teller hervorgegangen sind. Sie alle gingen Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts in das damalige Zentrum der Naturwissenschaften nach Deutschland, machten hier bedeutende Entdeckungen, erhielten Lehrstühle und blieben, solange ihr Aufenthalt möglich war. Aber anders als Polányi, Neumann, Wigner, Szilárd und Kármán war Hevesy nicht Mitglied in der „eng verbundenen Gruppe“ der Ungarn, 1 die sich gebildet hatte, weil ihre Mitglieder nicht von einer vollen Integration in Deutschland ausgingen. Hevesy dagegen war von der Möglichkeit seiner Eingliederung überzeugt. Sein wissenschaftliches Wirken fällt in die Blütezeit der Naturwissenschaften in Deutschland. Georg von Hevesy kann als ein naturwissenschaftliches Genie bezeichnet werden. Er beschäftigte sich äußerst intensiv mit Physik, Chemie, Biologie und Geochemie und kannte alle Details des Aufbaus der Materie vom Atomkern bis zu den chemischen Prozessen in lebenden Organismen, so dass ihm die wesentlichsten Zusammenhänge schon Bestandteil seines Unterbewusstseins wurden. Für ihn stellten Fragen der Struktur der Materie, die Möglichkeiten der Nutzung neuer Erkenntnisse für die Medizin und die Entwicklung neuer Methoden eine Einheit dar. Er erkannte Inhalt, Wahrheitsgehalt und Bedeutung der Entdeckungen seiner Kollegen so schnell und genau, dass er sie oft besser als die Entdecker selbst erklären konnte.
