  • The Future of Life
    Second Annual John H. Chafee Memorial Lecture on Science and the Environment The Future of Life Dr. Edward O. Wilson Pellegrino University Research Professor, Harvard University December 6, 2001 THE NATIONAL COUNCIL FOR SCIENCE AND THE ENVIRONMENT (NCSE) has been working since 1990 to improve the scientific basis of environmental decisionmaking and has earned an impressive reputa- tion for objectivity, responsibility, and achievement. The Council envisions a society where environmental decisions are based on an accurate understanding of the underlying science, its meaning, and its limitations. In such a society, citizens and decisionmakers receive accurate, understandable, and integrated science-based information. They understand the risks, uncertainties, and potential consequences of their action or inaction. Supported by over 500 academic, scientific, environmental, and business organizations, and federal, state, and local government, NCSE works closely with the many communities creating and using environmental knowledge to make and shape environmental decisions. The Council operates a range of innovative activities in the areas of: Promoting Science for the Environment The Council played an instrumental role in stimulating the National Science Foundation initiative to triple its annual budget for environmental research, education, and scientific assessment. The Council presents expert testimony to Congressional committees, consults regularly with key decisionmakers in government, and works to promote funding for environmental programs at numerous federal agencies. Enhancing Programs at Institutions of Higher Learning NCSE brings members of the academic community together to improve their environmental programs and increase their value to society through the University Affiliate Program, the Council of Environ- mental Deans and Directors, and the Minority Programs Office.

Franco The Inter-American Foundation is an independent Federal agency that supports social and economic development in Latin America and the Caribbean. It makes grants primarily to private, indigenous organizations that carry out self-help projects benefiting po or people. The Inter-American Foundation was created by Congress in 1969 (22 U.S.C. 290f) to support the self-help efforts of poor people in Latin America and the Caribbean. The Foundation was established because of congressional concern that traditional p rograms of development assistance were not reaching poor people. Instead of working through governments, the Foundation responds directly to the initiatives of the poor by supporting local and private organizations. Approximately 75 percent of the Foundat ion's funds are derived from congressional appropriations and the remainder from the Social Progress Trust Fund of the Inter-American Development Bank. The Foundation is governed by a nine-member Board of Directors appointed by the President with the advice and consent of the Senate. By law, six members of the Board are from private organizations and three are from the Government. The Foundation has made 3,642 grants, totaling over $385 million in 36 countries of Latin America and the Caribbean.

  • The 2009 Abbott Chemistry Lectures
    George A. Abbott, 1874-1973 Dr. George Alonzo Abbott, Professor Emeritus at the University of North Dakota, had a long and fruitful career of service to the State of North Dakota and the science of Chemistry. He was born July 7, 1874, in Alma, Illinois. Dr. Abbott received both the B.S. and M.A. pro merito from DePauw University. From 1896 until 1904 he taught chemistry in high schools in Evansville, Indiana; Duluth, Minnesota; and Indianapolis, Indiana. In 1903, through a contact with Professor Talbot, he received the Austen Research Fellowship at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Under the guidance of A. A. Noyes, Professor of Physical Chemistry at M.I.T., he received the Ph.D. in 1908. In this first class of doctorates in chemistry were such notables as Edward Washburn, Charles Kraus and Richard Tolman. Dr. Abbott joined the chemistry staff of the North Dakota Agricultural College (North Dakota State University) in 1909. In 1910 he was appointed Professor and Chairman of the Department of Chemistry at the University of North Dakota. His devotion to teaching and the application of chemistry for the betterment of North Dakota was one of his outstanding contributions. His interests in quality water and in natural products such as lignite, for which North Dakota is recognized, gave him national recognition. For half a century he was the only toxicologist in a wide area of the upper midwest. He found time to do a weekly radio program “Science from the Sidelines” which was broadcast for over twenty years. Professor Abbott was a founder and charter member of the North Dakota Academy of Science.

  • Antoniewicz Awarded Dupont Young Professor Grant 9:05 A.M., July 1, 2008--Maciek R
    Antoniewicz awarded DuPont Young Professor Grant 9:05 a.m., July 1, 2008--Maciek R. Antoniewicz, UD assistant professor of chemical engineering, was recently honored by the DuPont Co. as one of 17 young professors from universities in the United States, China, Spain and India with the annual DuPont Young Professor Grant for original research. This innovative grant program is designed to provide start-up assistance to promising young and untenured research faculty working in areas aligned with DuPont's strategic business growth. Antoniewicz will receive a grant of $25,000 per year for three years. The grant may be used to obtain matching funds through the National Science Foundation or other organizations. His research Maciek Antoniewicz interests include metabolic engineering and systems biology and engineering microbial cells for production of biofuels and biochemicals. “Maciek is a talented scientist whom we were fortunate to have on staff at the DuPont Experimental Station last year before he accepted his current assignment at the University of Delaware,” said Uma Chowdhry, DuPont senior vice president and chief science and technology officer. “We will continue to be interested in his research as he pursues sustainable biofuels technologies.” “My proposed research at the University of Delaware will focus on the study and manipulation of biological systems for the production of sustainable energy sources for biofuels,” Antoniewicz said. “The importance of this research has been recognized worldwide and is gaining in significance.” Norman Wagner, Stiles Professor of Chemical Engineering and chairperson of the Department of Chemical Engineering, said that he and his collegues are "proud of the achievements and promise of Maciek and his research.
