  • Robert Burns Woodward 1917–1979
    NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES ROBERT BURNS WOODWARD 1917–1979 A Biographical Memoir by ELKAN BLOUT Any opinions expressed in this memoir are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Academy of Sciences. Biographical Memoirs, VOLUME 80 PUBLISHED 2001 BY THE NATIONAL ACADEMY PRESS WASHINGTON, D.C. ROBERT BURNS WOODWARD April 10, 1917–July 8, 1979 BY ELKAN BLOUT OBERT BURNS WOODWARD was the preeminent organic chemist Rof the twentieth century. This opinion is shared by his colleagues, students, and by other distinguished chemists. Bob Woodward was born in Boston, Massachusetts, and was an only child. His father died when Bob was less than two years old, and his mother had to work hard to support her son. His early education was in the Quincy, Massachusetts, public schools. During this period he was allowed to skip three years, thus enabling him to finish grammar and high schools in nine years. In 1933 at the age of 16, Bob Woodward enrolled in the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to study chemistry, although he also had interests at that time in mathematics, literature, and architecture. His unusual talents were soon apparent to the MIT faculty, and his needs for individual study and intensive effort were met and encouraged. Bob did not disappoint his MIT teachers. He received his B.S. degree in 1936 and completed his doctorate in the spring of 1937, at which time he was only 20 years of age. Immediately following his graduation Bob taught summer school at the University of Illinois, but then returned to Harvard’s Department of Chemistry to start a productive period with an assistantship under Professor E.

  • Biographical Memoirs
    National Academy of Sciences - Biographical Memoirs http://www.nasonline.org/publications/biographical-memoirs/online-collection.html By Michael P. Filosa Flack Norris (1871-1940) for the November Nucleus, I came across his biographical memoir on the website of the National Academy of Sciences (NAS). This memoir was written by John D. Roberts and was presented to the Academy in 1974, a scant(!) 34 years after his death. The NAS was founded in 1863 by 50 of the most prominent scientists in the United States, and its initial charter was signed by Abraham Lincoln. It is a tradition that each of its members be memorialized in a memoir to the Academy written by a peer (or two). These memoirs are a treasure trove of the history of science. The sole weakness is that they are posthumous and not necessarily, very timely. However, they are quite thorough and a good overview of the scientists, complete with a detailed listing of their major works. During my school years, I was always intrigued with stories about great scientists. Dan Kemp would talk extensively about his thesis advisor, R. B. Woodward, and his works. Those stories about Woodward (1917-1979) and also Gilbert Stork were very influential in my decision to pursue synthetic organic chemistry as a career. Woodward’s memoir was written by Elkan Blout (with assistance from Frank Westheimer) and was published in 2001, a “scant” 22 years after his death. The memoirs are often glowing: “Robert Burns Woodward was the preeminent organic chemist of the twentieth century. This opinion is shared by his colleagues, students and by other distinguished chemists.” Blout includes lengthy commentaries from Sir Derek Barton, Roald Hoffman and Albert Eschenmoser in the memoir.

  • 2017-18 Calendar & Handbook for Badger Families
    2017–2018 CALENDAR & HANDBOOK FOR BADGER FAMILIES A Welcome from the Chancellor elcome to the UW–Madison family! As the parent Wof an undergraduate student myself, I know well the mixed emotions that come with sending a child off to college. We want to make sure that our young scholars are safe and happy, and that they are learning useful skills. As a parent who may be living apart from your child for the first time, it can be a challenge to know how to help. The Parent and Family Program is your partner in this process. It provides resources, advice, and dialogue on the questions and concerns that are bound to arise during your student’s time on campus. Through special events, timely communications, online chats, and a dynamic website, the Parent and Family Program will help you play a positive role in your student’s academic and personal success. This calendar provides useful information about when students will be focusing on exams, when they’ll be looking forward to the big game, and what’s happening at the university and around Madison the next time you visit them here. The goal is to help you feel connected—as a family—to this wonderful place and all it has to offer. On, Wisconsin! Chancellor Rebecca Blank WISCONSIN WELCOME Dear Badger Family, Welcome to the University of Wisconsin–Madison! You are a valued member of our community. At UW–Madison, we recognize that parents and family members are important partners. Our Goals for Parents & Families Research shows that family involvement is critical to the success of college students.
