American Chemical Society names Fellows for 2015

WASHINGTON, July 21, 2015 — The American Chemical Society (ACS) has named the 2015 class of ACS Fellows, which includes 78 scientists who have demonstrated outstanding accomplishments in chemistry and made important contributions to ACS, the world’s largest scientific society. They represent a wide range of disciplines and geographic locations, from 30 of the Society’s technical divisions, 57 local sections and 23 national committees.

The 2015 Fellows will be recognized at a ceremony and reception on Monday, August 17, during the Society’s 250th National Meeting & Exposition in Boston.

“Through their work, the ACS Fellows are using the transforming power of chemistry to improve health, protect the planet and feed the world’s population. Through their service in the community they are making science accessible to all, supporting students and teachers and giving back through countless acts of public outreach,” said ACS President Diane Grob Schmidt.

The ACS Fellows Program was created by the ACS Board of Directors in December 2008 “to recognize members of ACS for outstanding achievements in and contributions to science, the profession and the Society.”

The official list of names appears in the July 13, 2015, issue of Chemical & Engineering News. Click here for a list of all ACS Fellows (2009-2014) that can be organized by name and institution.
