Advancing Chemistry. Improving Life Advancing Chemistry. Improving Life. ANNUAL REPORT 2017 Welch 2017 Cover.indd 1 6/18/18 2:33 PM ROBERT A. WELCH The Welch Foundation is a legacy to the world from Robert Alonzo Welch, a self-made man with a strong sense of responsibility to humankind, an enthusiastic respect for chemistry and a deep love for the state of Texas. Born in South Carolina to a prominent family that fell on hard economic times, Mr. Welch came to Houston as a youth and later made his fortune in oil and minerals. Over the course of his career and life, he became convinced of the importance of chemistry for the betterment of the world. Scientists, geologists and petroleum engineers were among his close friends and associates as were the civic and business leaders of the day. From these associations and his own study, Mr. Welch determined that the pursuit of chemistry and chemical research held great potential for vast good and would continue to have a valuable impact on business, industry, global leadership and the 2017 ANNUAL REPORT human condition.

    AHMED H. ZEWAIL 26 february 1946 . 2 august 2016 PROCEEDINGS OF THE AMERICAN PHILOSOPHICAL SOCIETY VOL. 162, NO. 2, JUNE 2018 biographical memoirs t is often proclaimed that a stylist is someone who does and says things in memorable ways. From an analysis of his experimental Iprowess, his written contributions, his lectures, and even from the details of the illustrations he used in his published papers or during his lectures to scientific and other audiences, Ahmed Zewail, by this or any other definition, was a stylist par excellence. For more than a quarter of a century, I interacted with Ahmed (and members of his family) very regularly. Sometimes he and I spoke several times a week during long-distance calls. Despite our totally different backgrounds we became the strongest of friends, and we got on with one another like the proverbial house on fire. We collaborated scientifi- cally and we adjudicated one another’s work, as well as that of others. We frequently exchanged culturally interesting stories. We each relished the challenge of delivering popular lectures. In common with very many others, I deem him to be unforgettable, for a variety of different reasons. He was one of the intellectually ablest persons that I have ever met. He possessed elemental energy. He executed a succession of brilliant experiments. And, almost single-handedly, he created the subject of femtochemistry, with all its magnificent manifestations and ramifications. From the time we first began to exchange ideas, I felt a growing affinity for his personality and attitude. This was reinforced when I told him that, ever since I was a teenager, I had developed a deep interest in Egyptology and a love for modern Egypt.

  • Report to DPR from the Panel Conducting the Peer Review of The
    1 May 7, 2011 Administrator Lisa Jackson United States Environmental Protection Agency Ariel Rios Building 1200 Pennsylvania Avenue, N. W. 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.

    Department of Chemistry In the 2005–2006 academic year, the Department of Chemistry continued its strong programs in undergraduate and graduate education. Currently there are 245 graduate students, 93 postdoctoral researchers, and 92 undergraduate chemistry majors. As of July 1, 2006, the Department faculty will comprise 32 full-time faculty members including 5 assistant, 4 associate, and 23 full professors, one an Institute Professor. In the fall, Professor Joseph P. Sadighi was promoted to associate professor without tenure, effective July 1, 2006; in the spring, Professor Timothy F. Jamison was promoted to associate professor with tenure, also effective July 1, 2006. In September 2005, Professor Arup K. Chakraborty took up a joint senior appointment as the Robert T. Haslam professor of chemical engineering, professor of chemistry, and professor of biological engineering. Professor Chakraborty obtained his PhD in chemical engineering at the University of Delaware. He came to MIT from the University of California at Berkeley, where he served as the Warren and Katherine Schlinger distinguished professor and chair of chemical engineering, and professor of chemistry from 2001 to 2005. Highlights The Department of Chemistry had a wonderful year. On October 2, 2005, we learned that Professor Richard R. Schrock, Frederick G. Keyes professor of chemistry, had won the 2005 Nobel Prize in chemistry for the development of a chemical reaction now used daily in the chemical industry for the efficient and more environmentally friendly production of important pharmaceuticals, fuels, synthetic fibers, and many other products. Schrock Professor Richard R. Schrock speaking at a press shared the prize with Yves Chauvin of the conference at MIT on October 5, 2005.

  • 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.

  • CHEMISTRY Life in an RNA World
    wint'00.html Vol. I U · C H E M I S T R Y Life in an RNA World by Donald H. Burke, Assistant Professor of Chemistry Donald Burke joined the chemistry department as an assistant professor after receiving a PhD at the University of Califormia, Berkeley, and postdoctoral studies at the University of Colorado. We are indebted to him for this summary of the ongoing efforts in his and others' laborotories in this exciting research area. The Editors RNA-based life? It is the sort of thing they might have used on Star Trek, if they could have found a way to work it into the plot. They had creatures made from gigantic crystals, swarms of microscopic robots with a collective consciousness, and creatures that floated through outer space. Vulcan biochemistry was different enough that it used copper in place of iron to carry oxygen. Why not a cellular life form devoid of proteins, that used RNA molecules to perform catalysis and maintain genetic information? For the most part, if a macromolecule is doing work in a cell here on earth, that molecule is a protein, with a few notable, but isolated exceptions. Does it have to be that way? Can RNA replace proteins or even repair metabolic damage wrought by proteins that misbehave? The question lies at the heart of some avenues of biomedical and microbial engineering, and the answer may reveal much about the earliest forms of life on earth. The last four decades have seen a steady shift in the perception of RNA's role in biology.

  • 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.
