  • Multistep Synthesis of Complex Carbogenic Molecules
    THE LOGIC OF CHEMICAL SYNTHESIS: MULTISTEP SYNTHESIS OF COMPLEX CARBOGENIC MOLECULES Nobel Lecture, December 8, 1990 by E LIAS J AMES C OREY Department of Chemistry, Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA Carbogens, members of the family of carbon-containing compounds, can exist in an infinite variety of compositions, forms and sizes. The naturally occurring carbogens, or organic substances as they are known more tradi- tionally, constitute the matter of all life on earth, and their science at the molecular level defines a fundamental language of that life. The chemical synthesis of these naturally occurring carbogens and many millions of unnatural carbogenic substances has been one of the major enterprises of science in this century. That fact is affirmed by the award of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for 1990 for the “development of the theory and methodology of organic synthesis”. Chemical synthesis is uniquely positioned at the heart of chemistry, the central science, and its impact on our lives and society is all pervasive. For instance, many of today’s medicines are synthetic and many of tomorrow’s will be conceived and produced by synthetic chemists. To the field of synthetic chemistry belongs an array of responsibilities which are crucial for the future of mankind, not only with regard to the health, material and economic needs of our society, but also for the attainment of an understanding of matter, chemical change and life at the highest level of which the human mind is capable. The post World War II period encompassed remarkable achievement in chemical synthesis. In the first two decades of this period chemical syntheses were developed which could not have been anticipated in the earlier part of this century.

  • 10 Learning Areas for SDG Communications
    10 Learning Areas for SDG Communications Discussion Note for the OECD DevCom Peer Learning Hub Presented at Global Festival for Ideas on Sustainable Development Bonn, 1-3 March 2017 Introduction The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) change the game for communicators in development institutions. They provide communicators with a formal mandate and specific targets to raise awareness, build knowledge and inspire people for sustainable development. They transform the development story that communicators need to tell about how development happens, and about what their organisations are doing to help. They oblige communicators to understand and engage with new audiences, and to collaborate with new partners in order to reach those audiences. This Note explores the implications of the SDGs for development communicators. It then proposes a framework of ten “learning areas” for development institutions to bear in mind when developing their SDG communications strategies and campaigns. It highlights early examples of public engagement on the SDGs and identifies resources that can help communications teams get started Help bring the DevCom Peer Learning Hub to and become more strategic about their SDG work. life: tell us how you are mobilising citizens for the SDGs! Prepared by the OECD Development Contact: [email protected] Communication Network (DevCom), this Note Visit: www.oecd.org/dev/devcom represents a first step towards a new DevCom Join: www.facebook.com/oecd.devcom Peer Learning Hub for SDG Communicators. The aim is to help communicators adapt to the “SDG era” by: 1. Providing them with a framework and principles to help approach the SDGs and decide on strategic priorities for public engagement.

  • Appendices Due to Concerns Over the Quality of the Data Collected
    APPENDIX A WSU 2014-19 STRATEGIC PLAN Appendix A: WSU Strategic Plan 2014-15 Strategic Plan 2014-2019 President Elson S. Floyd, Ph.D. Strategic Plan 2014-2019 Introduction The 2014-19 strategic plan builds on the previous five-year plan, recognizing the core values and broad mission of Washington State University. Goals and strategies were developed to achieve significant progress toward WSU’s aspiration of becoming one of the nation’s leading land-grant universities, preeminent in research and discovery, teaching, and engagement. The plan emphasizes the institution’s unique role as an accessible, approachable research institution that provides opportunities to an especially broad array of students while serving Washington state’s broad portfolio of social and economic needs. While providing exceptional leadership in traditional land-grant disciplines, Washington State University adds value as an integrative partner for problem solving due to its innovative focus on applications and its breadth of program excellence. The plan explicitly recognizes the dramatic changes in public funding that have occurred over the duration of the previous strategic plan, along with the need for greater institutional nimbleness, openness, and entrepreneurial activity that diversifies the University’s funding portfolio. In addition, the plan reaffirms WSU’s land-grant mission by focusing greater attention system-wide on increasing access to educational opportunity, responding to the needs of Washington state through research, instruction, and outreach, and contributing to economic development and public policy. While the new plan retains the four key themes of the previous plan, its two central foci include offering a truly transformative educational experience to undergraduate and graduate students and accelerating the development of a preeminent research portfolio.
