Call for Nominations for Morley Medal

October 30, 2006 | A version of this story appeared in Volume 84, Issue 44

The ACS Cleveland Section is accepting nominations for the Morley Medal to recognize significant contributions to chemistry through achievements in research, teaching, engineering, research administration and public service; outstanding service to humanity; or industrial progress.

Nominations should include a letter highlighting the significant contributions of the candidate and a curriculum vitae listing the candidate's education, professional experience and activities, awards and honors, offices held, and specifics on significant contributions.

The nomination packet should also include a representative list of references to the candidate's more important contributions, an evaluation of the significance of these achievements, and a listing of the nominee's most noteworthy publications and patents. Strong seconding letters are suggested. The specific reference for every publication or patent is neither required nor encouraged. Nominations may be made by any member of ACS, the Royal Society of Chemistry, or the Chemical Institute of Canada.

The area of eligibility includes those parts of the U.S. and Canada within about 250 miles of Cleveland. The contributions for which the award is given should have been made by the awardee when a resident of this area, or if a major contribution was made elsewhere, the nominee should have continued to make contributions while a resident of this area. The medal will be presented in May 2007 at a meeting of the Cleveland Section; the recipient will deliver the Edward W. Morley Lecture.

Nominations should be sent (preferably electronically and in Word) to Elizabeth Dabrowski, chair of the Cleveland Section Awards Committee, at edabrowski@magnificaths.org. Her mailing address is Magnificat High School, 20770 Hilliard Blvd., Rocky River, OH 44116; telephone (440) 331-1572; fax (440) 331-7257.

The deadline for receipt of nominations is Dec. 15.
