Nominated because of his distinguished research career, impact on scientific advancement and benefit to the application of chemical science through public service, outreach, policy development and change, and through connecting or leading the chemical science community to provide solutions for societal challenges. Fellowship is the most senior category of membership and typically represents that a Fellow has an influential position in the chemistry community, possesses expertise and experience, and is committed to helping society understand and value the contributions of the chemical sciences.
We are thrilled to announce that Liana Shpani has been selected as one of the 86 outstanding U.S. graduate students for the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science Graduate Student Research (SCGSR) program.
Congratulations to Dr. Monika Yadav who was selected as a Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings Fellow in recognition of her scientific accomplishments. This honor is bestowed upon those who pass a competitive, multi-stage application and nomination process.
Sadie Seddon-Stettler – Awarded NSF Graduate Research Fellow! Being chosen as an NSF Graduate Research Fellow is a significant national accomplishment and places her among an elite group of Fellows, many of whom have gone on to distinguished careers in STEM or STEM education.
Accelerator R&D for Novel Cancer Treatment Modalities Modern radiation therapy techniques are designed to optimize tumor control while limiting collateral damage to surrounding healthy tissue. Shaping the spatial profile of the delivered dose, as well as varying the angle of approach, enabled dramatic advances in cancer therapy. Now clinicians have begun investigating a new frontier for improving cancer therapy through very fast irradiation.
