Speaker Biographies June 29, 2021
Summit on Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Anti-Racism in 21st Century STEMM Organizations June 29-30, 2021 | Virtual Event Speaker Biographies June 29, 2021: The systemic and structural nature of racism and bias Welcoming Remarks John L. Anderson is president of the National Academy of Engineering since July 1, 2019. He was born in Wilmington, DE, and received his undergraduate degree from the University of Delaware in 1967 and PhD degree from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 1971, both in chemical engineering. He was most recently Distinguished Professor of Chemical Engineering and president (2007–2015) of the Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT). Before that he was provost and executive vice president at Case Western Reserve University (2004–2007), following 28 years at Carnegie Mellon University, including 8 years as dean of the College of Engineering and 11 years as head of the Chemical Engineering Department. He began his professional career as an assistant professor of chemical engineering at Cornell University (1971–1976). Dr. Anderson was elected to the NAE in 1992 for contributions to the understanding of colloidal hydro-dynamics and membrane transport phenomena and was elected an NAE councillor in 2015. His service also includes numerous National Academies activities, such as the Committee on Determining Basic Research Needs to Interrupt the Improvised Explosive Device Delivery Chain (chair); Committee on Review of Existing and Potential Standoff Explosives Detection Techniques (chair); Organizing Committee for the National Security and Homeland Defense Workshop (cochair); Board on Chemical Sciences and Technology (cochair); and Ford Foundation Minority Postdoctoral Review Panel on Physical Sciences, Mathematics, and Engineering. -

Among other topics, Webb advised that he was the last survivor of the three “Bronxville Boys” who came to Cornell in 1950 from that village in Westchester County. They roomed together as freshmen, joined Delta Upsilon together and remained close friends through graduation and beyond. They even sat side by side in the 54 Cornellian’s group photo of their fraternity. Boyce Thompson, who died in 2009, worked for Pet Milk in St. Louis for a few years after graduation and later moved to Dallas where he formed and ran a successful food brokerage specializing in gourmet mixed nuts. Ever the comedian, his business phone number (after the area code) was 223-6887, which made the letters BAD-NUTS. Thankfully, his customers did not figure it out. -

The Space Investigations Documentation System (SIDS) Report
The Space Investigations Documentation System (SIDS) Report DECEMBER 1974 NATIONAL SPACE SCIENCE DATA CENTER NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION * GODDARD SPACE FLIGHT CENTER, GREENBELT, MD. NSSDC 74-16 The Space Investigations Documentation System (SIDS) Report December 1974 FOREWORD The Space Investigations Documentation System (SIDS) report is prepared by the National Space Science Data Center (NSSDC) at Goddard Space Flight Center for the Office of Space Science (OSS) at NASA Headquarters. The report will serve as a users guide for OSS manage- ment. In addition it is intended to provide the professional community with information about OSS current and planned investigative activity in a broad range of scientific disciplines. The report provides brief descriptions for these investigations, as well as the approximate time periods when each investigation operates and collects data. The SIDS report replaces the Space Science and Applications Program document (NHB 8030.2) from April 1960 to August 1968. Information on the supporting research and technology (SRT) and sounding rocket (SR) programs contained in that predecessor report has been deleted from SIDS, but it is available from the Office' of the Associate Administrator for Space Science. The SIDS report differs from the Report on Active and Planned Spacecraft and Experiments, edited by Julius Brecht and published by NSSDC in January 1974, in that it includes experiments and spacecraft of direct concern to OSS. At the spacecraft level, the report includes names of the program scientist and program manager. At the experiment level, the report shows whether an experiment was approved or approved conditionally, specifies the responsible OSS Division, and lists the SIDS investigation discipline codes. -
University of Pennsylvania Engineering Team Designs Titan Arm, Wins Intel-Sponsored Cornell Cup USA
Intel Corporation 2200 Mission College Blvd. Santa Clara, CA 95054-1549 University of Pennsylvania Engineering Team Designs Titan Arm, Wins Intel-Sponsored Cornell Cup USA Team Awarded $10,000 for its Low-cost, Streamlined Solution for Augmented Strength NEWS HIGHLIGHTS Elizabeth Beattie, Nick McGill, Nick Parrotta, and Niko Vladimirov received the first-place award of $10,000 at the Cornell Cup USA presented by Intel. The engineering team developed the innovative Titan Arm prototype to provide an affordable, streamlined and wireless option for rehabilitation and therapeutic application. Other teams from Worcester Polytechnic Institute and University of Colorado, Denver captured awards for their inventive applications of embedded technology. The Cornell Cup USA is a college-level embedded engineering competition created to empower student teams to become the inventors of the newest innovative applications for intelligent systems. ORLANDO, Fla,, May 8, 2013 – Augmented strength may seem like something out of a comic book, but exoskeleton systems are often used in physical therapy, search and rescue operations, as well as physically intensive occupations requiring heavy lifting. Many of today’s exoskeleton systems, however, are bulky, expensive and invasive. With the Titan Arm, the embedded engineering team at the University of Pennsylvania sought to deliver a low-cost, wireless and ergonomic upper-body exoskeleton solution with on-board sensing to provide rich data. The Titan Arm team took first place at the 2nd annual Cornell Cup USA presented by Intel Corporation. The Cornell Cup is an embedded engineering competition that challenges student design teams from universities across the country to create innovative embedded device prototypes that feature Intel technology. -

LYAILABLE FROM Superintendent of Documents, U. S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D. C. 20402 (Stock No. 3800-00146, $3.35, postpaid $3.00) EDRS PRICE MF -$O.65 HC-$6.58 DESCRIPTORS *Annual Reports; Attitudes; *Data Collection; Research; Resources; *Sciences; Scientific Personnel; *Technology IDENTIFIERS *National Science Board; Research Reports ABSTRACT In this report the National Science Board presents the first results from a newly initiated effort to develop indicators of the state of the scientific enterprise in the Unite States. The ultimate goal of this effort is a set of indices which will reveal the strengths and weaknesses of U.S. science and technology, in terms of the capacity and performance of the enterprise in contributing to national objectives. Indicators in this report deal with facets of the entire scientific endeavor, as well as certain aspects of technology. They range from measures of basic research activity and industrial research and development, through indices of scientific and engineering personnel and institutional capabilities, to indicators of productivity and the U.S. balance of trade in high-technology products. In addition to graphically presenting the indicators, the report also provides results from opinion and attitude surveys of topics related to the state of science. The first of these is a Delphi survey of the judgments and opinions of a wide cross-section of the scientific and technological community, and the second surveys the attitudes of the public tovard science and technology.
