Carsten Sievers u Georgia Institute of Technology
Contribution to the Science/Profession: Recognized for contributions introducing new catalytic pathways and concepts of energy input for converting renewable carbon resources guided by spectro- scopic catalyst and process characterization.
Contribution to the ACS Community: Recognized for establishing the technical program of the Catalysis Science and Technology Division as its first program chair and contributing to the growth of the division by mentoring successors.
Samuella B. Sigmann u Appalachian State University (Retired)
Contribution to the Science/Profession: Recognized for efforts to improve safety education in laboratories and classrooms where chemicals are used and service as an expert witness for best safety practices in chemistry demonstrations.
Contribution to the ACS Community: Recognized for leadership of the ACS Committee on Chemical Safety and the Division of Chemical Health and Safety, and sustained efforts to improve and communicate best practices in chemical safety education.
Christopher M. Stafford u National Institute of Standards and Technology
Contribution to the Science/Profession: Recognized for developing precise layer-by-layer methods to fabricate ultra-thin polymer films, sensitive measurements that quantify their mechanical properties and structure-property-processing relations to facilitate their use in industrial coatings and separations membrane.
Contribution to the ACS Community: Recognized for decades of service to the ACS Polymeric Materials: Science and Engineering Division’s operations and technical programming, enhancing ACS National Meetings, and ambassadorship of this ACS community with industry, academia, and other professional societies.
Mary P. Watson u University of Delaware
Contribution to the Science/Profession: Recognized for methodology for Ni catalyzed cross- coupling of alcohols and amines; major innovations include reagents and methods for constructing complex C(sp3) bonds using inexpensive substrates, non-traditional electrophiles, and earth-abundant catalysts.
Contribution to the ACS Community: Recognized for transformative vision and leadership within and beyond the organic chemistry community; co-founded and co-organizes the Empowering Women in Organic Chemistry (EWOC) conference among other contributions that shape the field.
