Meeting organizers have put together another outstanding technical program. Whether attending symposia, browsing through poster sessions, visiting the Exposition, or exchanging recent news and scientific developments with friends and colleagues, you will sense the excitement of today’s research in chemistry. We are pleased to host this national exchange of scientific and technical ideas. During this meeting, you are located in a wonderful metropolitan area with much to see and do. If you have not been in Chicago for a few years, I would recommend a visit to Millennium Park, which is already a popular destination for residents and visitors. Of course, the first-rate museums, the wide variety of restaurants, extensive shopping, and the scenic lakefront provide many opportunities to enjoy your leisure time. The Chicago Section Host Committee has been working to ensure that your visit will be pleasant and memorable as well as informative. If you need information about places of interest, restaurants, transportation, or answers to any other questions you might have, please visit our Hospitality Center at McCormick Place. Our Section volunteers look forward to enhancing your enjoyment of our city. Have a great meeting! We hope you will have many occasions to return to Chicago for discussions of chemistry or for more leisurely pursuits. KENNETH P.

History of the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine • At his death Alfred Nobel bequeathed some kr32 million (Kronor) to the prize fund (the 2014 equivalent of kr1,702,000,000 [$194,449,755]. As of 2011, the foundation reported assets of Kr2,968,547,000 ($339,149,964) • The original prize in 1901 was valued at kr150,782, equivalent to kr8,178,781 in 2014 ($933,082).

  • Annotated Bibliography: Women in Physics, Astronomy, and Related Disciplines
    Annotated Bibliography: Women in Physics, Astronomy, and Related Disciplines Abir Am, Pnina and Dorinda Outram, eds. Uneasy Careers and Intimate Lives: Women in Science, 1787-1979. New Brunswick, NJ: Rutgers University Press, 1987. Abir Am and Outram’s volume includes a collection of essays about women in science that highlight the intersection of personal and professional spheres. All of the articles argue that the careers of women scientists are influenced by their family lives and that their family lives are impacted because of their scientific careers. This text is significant in two ways: first, it is one of the earliest examples of scholarship that moves beyond the recovering women in science, but placing them in the context of their home and work environments. Second, it suggests that historians of science can no longer ignore the private lives of their historical subjects. This volume contains four articles relating to women in physics and astronomy: Marilyn Bailey Ogilvie’s “Marital Collaboration: An Approach to Science” (pages 104-125), Sally Gregory Kohlstedt’s “Maria Mitchell and the Advancement of Women in Science” (pages 129-146), Helena M. Pycior’s “Marie Curie’s ‘Anti-Natural Path’: Time Only for Science and Family” (pages 191-215), and Peggy Kidwell’s “Cecelia Payne-Gaposchkin: Astronomy in the Family” (pages 216-238). As a unit, the articles would constitute and interesting lesson on personal and professional influences. Individually, the articles could be incorporated into lessons on a single scientist, offering a new perspective on their activities at work and at home. It complements Pycior, Slack, and Abir Am’s Creative Couples in the Sciences and Lykknes, Opitz, and Van Tiggelen’s For Better of For Worse: Collaborative Couples in the Sciences, which also look at the intersection of the personal and professional.

    Ann Hickey 312/744-4306 [email protected] The City of Chicago Announces The Chicago Jazz Partnership as the Presenting Sponsor for the Chicago Jazz Festival August 28-31, 2008 The City of Chicago and new presenting sponsor, The Chicago Jazz Partnership, are proud to announce the complete schedule for the 2008 Chicago Jazz Festival. This Labor Day weekend tradition begins with a free evening concert featuring Sonny Rollins at Millennium Park’s Jay Pritzker Pavilion on August 28, moves to Grant Park for three full days of free music, August 29-31, and closes with Ornette Coleman (complete schedule below). Rollins, a GRAMMY® Lifetime Achievement Award recipient, officially opens The Chicago Jazz Festival on August 28 at 6:30 p.m. at a new location, the world-renowned Jay Pritzker Pavilion in Millennium Park. Rollins is one of the last of the originals—a running mate of Miles Davis, Clifford Jordan and Max Roach, he was among the inventors of the language of Bebop. Rollins emerged from Chicago in the 1950s with a signature sound that has astounded audiences and inspired countless musicians for more than 50 years.
