Fritz-Pregl Medal for analytical scientist Gérard Hopfgartner August 2020 The Austrian Society of Analytical Chemistry (ASAC) has announced that Prof. Gérard Hopfgartner, University of Geneva, Life Sciences Mass Spectrometry will receive the 2020 Fritz-Pregl Medal. This highest ASAC award honours scientists who have made outstanding contributions to the analytical sciences. Prof. Gérard Hopfgartner; Photo by David Ruskic The award will be presented to Gerard Hopfgartner at the 51st Symposium of High Performance Liquid Chromatography, HPLC, 20-24 June 2021 in Düsseldorf, Germany. In an announcement at the conference website, ASAC mentions that throughout his career, Gérard Hopfgartner has devoted his scientific enthusiasm towards separation sciences, and in particular, towards Liquid Chromatography and Mass Spectrometry in theory and practice. His contributions and innovations have advanced the field significantly. Moreover, they are of high impact on today’s standing of HPLC as well as of mass spectrometry and in particular of the hyphenation of these technologies essentially applied in all fields of chemistry, life science, environmental science, and materials science. About Gérard Hopfgartner Gérard Hopfgartner is professor of Analytical Chemistry and Mass Spectrometry at the Department of Inorganic and Analytical Chemistry of the University of Geneva. Before joining academia, he was a scientific expert at a major Swiss pharmaceutical company involved in the implementation of LC-MS in bioanalysis. Current research interests are towards better understanding and bioanalytical implications of adducts formation in atmospheric pressure ionization, applications and fundamentals of ion mobility and the development of multiple fragment techniques including collision-induced dissociation, electron induced dissociation, and photodissociation in LC-MS/MS and SFC-MS/MS. About the Fritz Pregl medal The Award is named after the Austrian chemist Friedrich Michael Raimund Pregl, recipient of the 1923 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. Pregl pioneered the field of Microchemical Methods, which are very closely related to analytical chemistry and to analytical sciences. Fritz Pregl is the doyen of the Austrian analytical chemists. .

Peptide Chemistry up to Its Present State
Appendix In this Appendix biographical sketches are compiled of many scientists who have made notable contributions to the development of peptide chemistry up to its present state. We have tried to consider names mainly connected with important events during the earlier periods of peptide history, but could not include all authors mentioned in the text of this book. This is particularly true for the more recent decades when the number of peptide chemists and biologists increased to such an extent that their enumeration would have gone beyond the scope of this Appendix. 250 Appendix Plate 8.

Who Got Moseley's Prize?
Chapter 4 Who Got Moseley’s Prize? Virginia Trimble1 and Vera V. Mainz*,2 1Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of California, Irvine, Irvine, California 92697-4575, United States 2Department of Chemistry, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Urbana, Illinois 61802, United States *E-mail: [email protected]. Henry Gwyn Jeffreys Moseley (1887-1915) made prompt and very skilled use of the then new technique of X-ray scattering by crystals (Bragg scattering) to solve several problems about the periodic table and atoms. He was nominated for both the chemistry and physics Nobel Prizes by Svante Arrhenius in 1915, but was dead at Gallipoli before the committees finished their deliberations. Instead, the 1917 physics prize (announced in 1918 and presented on 6 June 1920) went to Charles Glover Barkla (1877-1944) “for discovery of the Röntgen radiation of the elements.” This, and his discovery of X-ray polarization, were done with earlier techniques that he never gave up. Moseley’s contemporaries and later historians of science have written that he would have gone on to other major achievements and a Nobel Prize if he had lived. In contrast, after about 1916, Barkla moved well outside the scientific mainstream, clinging to upgrades of his older methods, denying the significance of the Bohr atom and quantization, and continuing to report evidence for what he called the J phenomenon. This chapter addresses the lives and scientific endeavors of Moseley and Barkla, something about the context in which they worked and their connections with other scientists, contemporary, earlier, and later. © 2017 American Chemical Society Introduction Henry Moseley’s (Figure 1) academic credentials consisted of a 1910 Oxford BA with first-class honors in Mathematical Moderations and a second in Natural Sciences (physics) and the MA that followed more or less automatically a few years later.

In 1838 the famous chemist Justus von Liebig published his treatise, "The Condition of Chemistry in Austria"(1) (Der Zustand der Chemie in Österreich) in his renowned journal, The Annals of Chemistry and Pharmacy (Annalen der Chemie und Pharmazie). After analyzing and criticizing contemporary Austrian chemists, he concluded that chemistry as conducted in Austria could not be termed scientific. When, some twenty years later, Ernst Mach began studying physics at the University of Vienna, he told one of his professors that he would like to become a scientist and enter a university career. The professor advised Mach to chose another field because physics as a science was finished.

List of Nobel Laureates 1
List of Nobel laureates 1 List of Nobel laureates The Nobel Prizes (Swedish: Nobelpriset, Norwegian: Nobelprisen) are awarded annually by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, the Swedish Academy, the Karolinska Institute, and the Norwegian Nobel Committee to individuals and organizations who make outstanding contributions in the fields of chemistry, physics, literature, peace, and physiology or medicine.[1] They were established by the 1895 will of Alfred Nobel, which dictates that the awards should be administered by the Nobel Foundation. Another prize, the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences, was established in 1968 by the Sveriges Riksbank, the central bank of Sweden, for contributors to the field of economics.[2] Each prize is awarded by a separate committee; the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences awards the Prizes in Physics, Chemistry, and Economics, the Karolinska Institute awards the Prize in Physiology or Medicine, and the Norwegian Nobel Committee awards the Prize in Peace.[3] Each recipient receives a medal, a diploma and a monetary award that has varied throughout the years.[2] In 1901, the recipients of the first Nobel Prizes were given 150,782 SEK, which is equal to 7,731,004 SEK in December 2007. In 2008, the winners were awarded a prize amount of 10,000,000 SEK.[4] The awards are presented in Stockholm in an annual ceremony on December 10, the anniversary of Nobel's death.[5] As of 2011, 826 individuals and 20 organizations have been awarded a Nobel Prize, including 69 winners of the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences.[6] Four Nobel laureates were not permitted by their governments to accept the Nobel Prize.

Gullstrand, Einstein, and the Nobel Prize
SPECIAL ARTICLE Gullstrand, Einstein, and the Nobel Prize James G. Ravin, MD nly one individual who practiced ophthalmology for a significant period has ever received a Nobel Prize. This was Allvar Gullstrand, MD (1862-1930) (Figure 1), a Swede who was awarded the Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine in 1911. Al- though Gullstrand is often said to be the only Nobel laureate who was an ophthal- mologist,O this is incorrect. Fritz Pregl, MD (1869-1930), an Austrian ophthalmologist who de- serted the eye for analytical chemistry, received the Nobel Prize in chemistry in 1923. Walter Hess, MD (1881-1973), a Swiss ophthalmologist and physiologist, was awarded the Nobel Prize in physi- ology or medicine in 1949 for his work on autonomic control by the hypothalamus.

The Nobel Prize instituted on the lines of its mentor and founder Alfred Nobel's last will to establish a series of prizes for those who confer the “greatest benefit on mankind’ is widely regarded as the most coveted international award given in recognition to excellent work done in the fields of Physics, Chemistry, Physiology or Medicine, Literature, and Peace. The Prize since its introduction in 1901 has a very impressive list of winners and each of them has their own story of success. It is heartening that a seminar is being organized annually focusing on the Nobel Prize winning work of the Nobel laureates of that particular year. The initiative is indeed laudable as it will help teachers as well as students a lot in knowing more about the works of illustrious recipients and drawing inspiration to excel and work for the betterment of mankind. I am sure the proceeding to be brought out on the occasion will be highly enlightening.

SLOVENIA (Slovenija)
CLASSROOM COUNTRY PROFILES SLOVENIA (Slovenija) Slovenia is a small mountainous country that borders Austria, Italy, Hungary, and Croatia. Slovenia maintains access to the seas through a small stretch of coast on the Adriatic, neighbor- ing the Italian city of Trieste. The Julian Alps curve their way across Slovenia and feed a large number of rivers that make the country one of the most water-rich in Europe. Historically, Slovenia has been ruled by many different empires and only received autonomy from Yugoslavia in 1991. Population: 2 million Slovene society is traditionally and predominantly Catholic, although Area: 20,273 sq. km (a bit larger than Delaware) religious adherence in Slovenia has diminished over the last 20 years Capital: Ljubljana (277,000) substantially.

Organic Chemistry from the Eastern Bloc Florina Voica
Baran Lab GM 08/13/2011 Organic Chemistry from the Eastern Bloc Florina Voica The goal of this presentation is to offer a detailed perspective on the state of art in organic chemistry research in the major academic centers in former Eastern Bloc countries (Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia, Macedonia, Albania, Bulgaria, Romania, Moldova, Ukraine, Belarus, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia). The analysis for each individual country consists in identifying the researchers who have made significant contributions to the field. Historic context: - The Eastern Bloc refers to the region in Europe which entered under Soviet influence after WWII (Yalta conferene, 1945); - These were communist countries, either directly reporting to Moscow, or having more "independent" communist regimes; - Under the strict, totalitarian policies, the economic development was "extensive rather than intensive", with chracteristic shortages of goods and minimal innovation; - After the fall of USSR (1989-1991), these countries adopted the free market economic model (and democratic governments), but in most cases the '90s remain a period of slow development (transition period/lost generation); - Nov 1993, The Maastricht Treaty established The European Union; - WIth the exception of Albania, Serbia, Montenegro, Croatia and Russia, all former communist countries are now part of the EU; General aspects: The scientist in society: During the almost half a century of soviet cultural influence, science and technology served an important part of national politics and identity. However, significant efforts were focused on pure science and theoretical research, with little practical applications or economic impact. The educational system "In spite of all the apparent shortcomings and faults, the Russian secondary schools seem to prepare the students relatively well for life and for higher education, especially in the sciences and mathematics.
