Call for nominations for Morley Medal

Nominations are being accepted for the 2021 Morley Medal, presented annually by the American Chemical Society Cleveland Section.

Additional consideration will be given to individuals under the age of 48 who demonstrate significant potential for future accomplishments. Seconding letters are recommended.

A presentation of the award is planned for May 2021 during a banquet hosted by the Cleveland Section.

The recipient will deliver the Edward W. Morley Lecture. The award includes an honorarium of $3,000.
