Mail Code: 1101A Washington, DC 20460 Re: Docket ID number EPA-HQ-OPP-2010-0541, Petition to Suspend and Cancel All Registrations for the Soil Fumigant Iodomethane (Methyl Iodide) Dear Administrator Jackson, We are pleased to see that US EPA has decided to reconsider the registration of methyl iodide for its use as a soil fumigant pesticide. We remain concerned about the wisdom of widespread dispersion of methyl iodide into the environment and support the petition to cancel all uses of this chemical as a pesticide. It is one of the more hazardous chemicals used in research labs and in the chemical industry, and it seems counterintuitive that EPA would work on one hand to prevent and document relatively small releases of methyl iodide used in research and chemical manufacturing, while permitting what will likely be millions of pounds to be used annually in agriculture near homes, schools and workplaces. In our letter to EPA of September 24, 2007, (which we sent a copy of to you in February of 2009), we strongly recommended that EPA not register methyl iodide, but if the Agency chose to do so, we recommended that US EPA obtain an external scientific peer review of the risk assessment. While EPA did not commission such a review, the state of California has conducted its own risk assessment and did commission a Scientific Review Committee (SRC) to evaluate US EPA’s and the California Department of Pesticide Regulation’s (DPR’s) risk assessments.

  • The Golden Fleece, Science Education, and U.S. Science Policy1
    The Golden Fleece, Science Education, 1 and U.S. Science Policy Richard C. Atkinson President University of California was pleased to accept Roger Hahn’s kind invitation to participate in I this colloquium series. It gave me an opportunity to rethink some events I was associated with at the National Science Foundation (NSF) in the 1970s. I would like to review briefly U.S. science policy since World War II from the perspective of the National Science Foundation, and in particular from the narrower perspective of science education and the social sciences at NSF. This is a personal account, not a schol- arly one, and I would be delighted if my remarks were to stimulate some aspiring young historians to undertake a more careful study of the events I am going to discuss. My story begins with World War II and the remarkable success of U.S. science in the war effort—a critical factor in our victory. President Roosevelt’s science adviser, Vannevar Bush, had been a long-term member of the faculty at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology; he was one of the key people responsible for building the quality of that institution. Bush had a close personal relationship with Roosevelt. Near the end of the war the president asked him to define a plan for American science in the postwar period. That request led to Bush’s landmark report, Science, The Endless Frontier, one of the great documents of American history. The Bush report defined science policy for the post-World War II era. What was the nature of that report? No summary could do justice to Bush’s masterful analysis, but essentially he made three principal arguments about the future of the U.S.

  • National Associates of the National Academies
    NATIONAL ASSOCIATES OF THE NATIONAL ACADEMIES The National Associates Program At its meeting on February 7, 2001, the Council of the National Academy of Sciences initiated a new “National Associates” program to recognize extraordinary contributions to the National Research Council through pro-bono service to National Research Council and Institute of Medicine programs. Many dedicated individuals serve on study and oversight committees of the National Research Council and the Institute of Medicine without compensation. In fact, 5,908 individuals were members of one or more of the 574 committees active in the year 2007. In addition, approximately 1,500 individuals served as reviewers of one or more reports that year. This service is highly valued, honored, and appreciated both within the National Academies and by the nation. Our work in advising government and the public on matters of science, technology, and health would not be possible without this dedicated commitment of experts to provide the nation with their wisdom and advice. The purpose of the National Associates designation is to formally recognize the extraordinary service of 903 of these individuals listed in this booklet as National Associates of the National Research Council of the National Academies. The NRC Chair designates individuals for this special honor under guidelines established by the NRC Governing Board. Membership in the Associates is for life, recognizing past service, and new designations will be made annually. September 2008 Mark R. Abbott Oregon State University Corvallis, OR H.

He was born March! 1, 1912, in Baltimore, Md. and it was there, at Johns Hopkins University where he received bachelor’s (1932) and doctoral (1935) degrees in chemistry. While working as a chemist, he developed equipment that would homogenize milk. He became internationally known as an expert in metal corrosion. His research focused on the electrochemistry of corrosion, its mechanism and the processes to prevent or inhibit corrosion. In 1940 he took a position as an assistant chemist with the U.S. Coast Guard, and the next year he went to the Virginia Polytechnic Institute as an assistant professor. In 1944-45 he joined Kellex Corporation, where he was assigned to the Manhattan Project working on the gaseous diffusion process to separate uranium isotopes. This was his introduction to corrosion research. He never regretted his participation in the project that led to the atomic bomb. He is quoted in the blog “SciGuy” as saying, “There was a war on, you either fired a gun, flew on a plane, went on a submarine or did this.
