Public Affairs Award Meeting |

Speaker: | Dr. Thomas Kucera | |

Topic: | The Shifting Paradigm of the Central Science | |
Where: | Café La Cave 2777 Mannheim Road Des Plaines, IL 847-847-7817 |
Abstract: Since the end of WW II, there has been an ever-increasing understanding of the role of chemistry in American life. This has led to greater involvement of ACS as a society as well as individual ACS members with the American body politic. Increased awareness of the importance of chemistry to many public and private problems has led to changes in emphasis in the organization of the ACS and in the attitudes of the public. The areas of particular interest and their impact on laws and regulation as well as on the ACS divisions and local sections will be explored.
Awardee: Tom
Kucera certainly does not need any kind of introduction to most of
us, given the fact that he has been involved in the affairs and business of
the section and the society for more than fifty years. But as this year's Public
Affairs Awardee he deserves an appropriate introduction such as we traditionally
give for those who have received this award since it was first given more than
twenty years ago. When I began my activities with the section, Tom was already
a veteran, having already served on many committees as well as editor of the
Chemical Bulletin. |
