Extractions: Registration is open for the summer 2005 Workshops. The Shodor Education Foundation announces the creation of The National Computational Science Institute (NCSI). NCSI expands the already popular regional workshops known as the Shodor Computational Science Institute (SCSI). At over 18 partner sites across the country, NCSI introduces the hands-on use of computational science, numerical models, and data visualization tools across the curriculum. The National Science Foundation has awarded a three-year, $2.75M grant (Award Number: DUE-0127488) enabling NCSI to offer a national set of in-person, video-conferenced, and web-accessible workshops, seminars, and support activities. The initial target audience for NCSI are teams of faculty from predominantly undergraduate institutions (PUI's), minority serving institutions (MSI's), and community colleges whose students are either the next generation of scientists and engineers, the next generation of K-12 teachers, or both. With supplemental funding, NCSI plans to offer computational science workshops and sponsor educational activities for in-service teachers, business and government leaders, and the general public. NCSI participants then assist others on their own campuses and at neighboring institutions to introduce computational science in their own classes. NCSI proceeds along three synergistic but distinct routes that can be modeled as PULL, PUSH, and PERMEATE

EDUCATIONAL I envisaged to study philosophy at the University of Strasbourg, but being still undecided, I began with first year courses in physical, chemical and natural sciences (SPCN). During this year 1957/58, I was impressed by the coherent and rigorous structure of organic chemistry. I was particularly receptive to the experimental power of organic chemistry, which was able to convert at will, it seemed, complicated substances into one another following well defined rules and routes. I bought myself compounds and glassware and began performing laboratory practice experiments at my parents home. The seed was sown, so that when, the next year, I followed the stimulating lectures of a newly appointed young professor, Guy Ourisson, it became clear to me that I wanted to do research in organic chemistry. Robert Burns Woodward at Harvard University, where I took part in the immense enterprise of the total synthesis of Vitamin B . This was the second decisive stage of my life as a researcher. I also followed a course in quantum mechanics and performed my first computations with Roald Hoffmann . I had the chance to witness in 1964 the initial stages of what was to become the Woodward-Hoffmann rules.

Award Recipients: Faculty Start-up Awards Program The Camille and Henry Dreyfus Foundation seeks to support the scholarly activity of new faculty at primarily undergraduate institutions with a Start-up Award designed to help initiate their independent research programs. The award provides an unrestricted research grant of $30,000 that is generally made before the new faculty members formally begin their first tenure-track appointments. The Faculty Start-up Awards Program is open to all academic institutions in the States, Districts, and Territories of the United States of America that do not grant a doctoral degree in chemistry, biochemistry or chemical engineering. Faculty members who start their first tenure-track appointment in one of these departments in 2006 are eligible for nomination in 2006. Recommendations for awards are based on evidence that the nominee has the potential to produce an independent body of scholarship of outstanding quality in an undergraduate environment. Such scholarship should include both research in and a dedication to overall education in the chemical sciences. Nominations are reviewed by distinguished faculty in the field of chemistry.

AACC Membership - Careers In Cereal Chemistry Cereal chemistry is the study of the composition, structure, and properties At many other institutions, cereal science programs or courses are taught as http://www.aaccnet.org/membership/careersbrochure.asp
Extractions: AACC International Careers and Education AACC International Short Courses University Cereal Science Programs AACC International Placement Service AACC International Career Brochure Cereal Chemistry is the study of the composition, structure, and properties of cereals and the reactions or transformations they undergo. Cereals are plants such as wheat, rice, corn, barley, rye, oats, and millet, which produce grains that are the base of the world's food supply. Because of the importance of cereals as food for humans and animals, the field of cereal chemistry continues to grow as an important scientific career. Although the field may be considered highly specialized, it is actually quite diversified. This diversity becomes apparent when one reviews the many different areas that employ the skills of cereal chemists. The cereal chemist may work in basic research, examining the biochemical components of cereals, including their carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and enzymes. Some of these studies are very technical, employing sophisticated analytical techniques and instrumentation. By contrast, the cereal chemist may be employed by a food company involved in the practical aspects of food production - for example, in flour milling, baking malting, brewing, or pasta manufacturing. In the food company, the cereal chemist or technologist may be involved in product development or quality control, where his or her understanding of the production of food may be used to assess products for consistently high quality.

Extractions: Clive W.J. Granger The Nobel Prize (pronounced no-BELL) is awarded annually to people who have done outstanding research, invented groundbreaking techniques or equipment, or made outstanding contributions to society. It is generally regarded as the supreme commendation in the world today. The prizes were instituted by the final will of Alfred Nobel, a Swedish industrialist, and the inventor of dynamite. He signed his will at the Swedish-Norwegian Club in Paris on November 27, 1895. He was shocked to see how his invention was used for destructive purposes and wanted the prizes to be awarded to those who served mankind well.
