This issue of the Badger Chemist highlights our activities of the 2005-06 academic year, and indeed, there were many! Certainly one of the high points of the year was “Shainfest,” a celebration of the career of Professor Irving Shain, former Chemistry Department Chair and Chancellor of the University of Wisconsin. We named our new research wing the “Shain Research Tower” at a ceremony in May 2006, organized by Bassam Shakhashiri and attended by such dignitaries as Governor Jim Doyle, Provost Patrick Farrell and former Dean Phil Certain. The celebration continued with science and outreach presentations, and a banquet.

  • Chemistry Behind the Magic
    Bassam Z. Shakhashiri is the first holder of the William T. Evjue Distinguished Chair for the Wisconsin Idea at UW-Madison. He is well known internationally for his effective leadership in promoting excellence in science education at all levels, and for his development and use of demonstrations in the teaching of chemistry in classrooms as well as in less formal settings, such as museums, convention centers, shopping malls and retirement homes. The Encyclopedia Britannica sites him as the "dean of lecture demonstrators in America." His scholarly publications, including the multi-volume series, Chemical Demonstrations: A Handbook for Teachers of Chemistry, are models of learning and instruction that have been translated into several languages. He is an advocate for policies to advance knowledge and to use science and technology to serve society. He promotes the exploration and establishment of links between science, the arts and the humanities, and the elevation of discourse on significant societal issues related to science, religion, politics, the economy, and ethics. Professor Shakhashiri is the 2011 President-Elect of the American Chemical Society, and will serve one-year terms as president in 2012 and immediate past president in 2013. A native of (Anfe, El-Koura) Lebanon, Professor Shakhashiri is the son of the late Dr. Zekin A. Shakhashiri, a pioneer in public health at the American University of Beirut, and the late Adma N. Shakhashiri, an alumna of what is now Lebanese American University. The Shakhashiris -- father, mother, son and two daughters, Amal and Maha -- came to the United States in 1957 when Bassam was 17 years old with one year of college (at the American University of Beirut) behind him.

    1 ANNUAL REPORT 2014 OFFICERS' MESSAGE A Year Of Change And Growth 2014—it was a year of solid achievement for the American Chemical Society (ACS). ACS members, governance, and staff, often working with other organizations, fulfilled the vision and mission of ACS. The 2014 ACS Annual Report highlights many of these accomplishments and diverse initiatives that serve our members and the broader scientific enterprise worldwide. You can see the 2014 Highlights of ACS Achievements. Tom Barton President ACS President Tom Barton focused on four areas during his presidential year: education, energy, environment, and improving the public image of chemistry. He was an advocate for the progress and growth of the chemistry enterprise. Barton sponsored Presidential Symposia highlighting these topics during the ACS national meetings in Dallas and San Francisco. It was a year that saw the ACS solidify itself as the most authoritative, comprehensive, and indispensable provider of chemistry-related information. ACS Publications published more than William F. Carroll, Jr. Chair, Board of Directors 41,000 articles across its portfolio of 44 peer-reviewed journals. ACS journals continued their preeminence in citations and Impact Factors while continuing to develop new and enhanced content and delivery systems. ACS journals are available worldwide in online and mobile formats, as well as in print. The 2013 Journal Citation Reports® were released by Thomson Reuters in June 2014. ACS journals continued to perform extremely well, receiving more than 2.4 million total annual citations and ranking #1 in citations in each of the seven core chemistry Madeleine Jacobs Executive Director categories. & CEO The ACS Publications division also launched an ambitious open access publishing strategy.
