Academic career

In October 1916, Guido Pellizzari became director of the Pharmaceutical Laboratories at the Instimtion of Higher Practical Studies and Specialization of Florence Passerini joined him there several years later. Passerini graduated in 1916, and was enrolled in 1920 as a Doctor of Philosophy student. His scholarship expired in 1924 the Chairman of the Advisory Council of the Institute arranged for him to become Pellizzari s research assistant. In this role, Passerini helped him mentor selected Ph.D. students. 

In 1930 Mario Passerini became professor of Medicinal Chemistry at the Royal University of Siena. At a relatively advanced age he had a son, Pietro Passerini (1932-2008), destined to become professor of geology at the University of Florence. In 1936, Mario moved back to Florence, as professor of Pharmaceutical Chemistry (Fig. 5.3 was photographed when he was Director of Pharmacy).

Before beginning an academic career I was, of course, a student. My interest in chemistry and teaching was nurtured by many fine teachers at Westtown Friends School, Knox College, and the University of North Carolina at Chapel ITill their collective influence continues to bear fruit. In particular, I wish to recognize David Macinnes, Alan ITiebert, Robert Kooser, and Richard Linton. 

Only after all these publications did Einstein s academic career begin privatdozent in Berne, 1908 associate professor at the University of Zurich, 1909, the year of his first honorai y degree (Geneva) full professor at Karl Ferdinand University, Prague, 1911 professor at the ETH, 1912 professor and member of the Prussian Academy of Sciences, Berlin, 1914-1932, where he arrived four months before the outbreak of World War I. 

During the course of his academic career, Helferich occupied many important offices. In the academic year 1951-1952, he was Dean of the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, and, in the academic year 1954-1955, Vice-Chancellor of the Rhenish Friedrich Wilhelm University of Bonn. From 1953-1955, he was a member of the council of the Gesell-schaft Deutscher Chemiker, and was president of this society from 1956 to 1957. He made a major contribution to the rapid restoration of the scientific and personal links with foreign chemists that had been broken by the war. 

With the experimental results accumulated during his stay in Berlin, Garcia Gonzalez prepared two doctoral dissertations, entitled New Crystalline Phosphoric Esters of o-Fructose and Tests on Some Assumed Phases of Alcoholic Fermentation, which he presented in order to receive his doctorates in Chemistry and in Pharmacy, respectively, at the University of Madrid in 1932. Armed with these two degrees, he decided to pursue an academic career in his own country. His early training in a provincial... 

Although ADHD generally is considered a childhood disorder, symptoms can persist into adolescence and adulthood. The prevalence of adulthood ADHD is estimated to be 4%, with 60% of adults having manifested symptoms of ADHD from childhood.8,9 Further, problems associated with ADHD (e.g., social, marital, academic, career, anxiety, depression, smoking, and substance-abuse problems) increase with the transition of patients into adulthood. 

Following a brief but influential career as an industrial chemist for Monsanto Corporation, Clark Landis began his academic career at the University of Colorado, Boulder, moving to the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1990, where he is currently a Professor in Inorganic Chemistry. Professor Landis was co-PI of the New Traditions Systemic Reform Project in Chemical Education and is co-author of Chemistry ConcepTests A Pathway to Interactive Classrooms and a companion video tape. He has long served as a consultant to Dow Chemical Company and is a member of its Technical Advisory Board. 

Lewis was an American scientist bom in 1875 in Massachusetts, USA. He started his academic career in 1912 and proposed the theory of electron sharing in 1916 which as we have seen is of great importance to chemists. Because of this theory, electron dot representation is also named Lewis dot structure . 

During his short, but fruitful, academic career, from 1939 to 1975, Emil Hardegger published 123 papers and supervised 46 Doctoral dissertations. The results of some of his later students work were never published, due to the decline of his health, and therefore the titles, authors, and year of doctoral theses he supervised are given in Appendix II. 

He maintained an active research program throughout his academic career up to the time of his death. During his 52 years in the Chemistry Department at Berkeley he provided research training for more than 200 graduate stu-... 

Xianguo Li received his BS degree in internal combustion engineering from Tianjin University, Tianjin, China, in 1982, and his MSc in 1986 and PhD in 1989, respectively, in mechanical engineering from Northwestern University, Evanston, Illinois. Dr. Li s academic career formally began in 1992 when he was appointed an assistant professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Universify of Victoria. In 1997, he joined the University of Waterloo, and was promoted to fhe rank of full professor in 2000. 

Baker, W. J. Chem. Soc. 1933, 1381. Wilson Baker (1900-2002) was bom in Rnn-com, England. He studied chemistry at Manchester under Arthur Lapworth and at Oxford under Robinson. In 1943, Baker was the first one who confirmed that penicillin contained sulfur, of which Robinson commented This is a feather in your cap. Baker. Baker began his independent academic career at University of Bristol. He retired in 1965 as the head of the School of Chemistry. Baker was a weU-known chemist centenarian, spending 47 years in retirement ...

Another Cohort V interviewee elected to pursue an academic career after an industrial postdoctoral assigmnent. The interviewee commented 1 have much more space to be creative and develop my own ideas in academia. ... 

Because my graduate study was supported by a fellowship, one condition was that I pursue an academic career. When I got to4 an historically black college), 1 realized immediately that I didn t want to be there. The politics and the environment were not good for me. So, I applied for an industrial job and received an offer. But my wife wasn t ready to move. Because my wife had supported me during my doctoral studies, she felt that it was time for me to be supportive of her while she gained some valuable career experience for a year or two. She held an administrative position on campus. My wife said that she wasn t ready to run from something. She wanted to run to something. So, we stayed another year. Then 1 took the job in industry. 

Implications for Research. There is a need for research that systematically tracks and collects longitudinal data on African Americans aspiring to careers in academe. A good starting point would be existing programs designed to increase African Americans participation in academic careers. 

Academe. In academe, more interviewees at historically white colleges and universities cited difficulties associated with tenure, and promotion beyond the associate professor level. Indeed, many interviewees who took non-academic appointments expressed concern about pursuing an academic career because of the subjectivity of the tenure process and the lower salary levels relative to those in industry. Several chemists at research universities said that they were unable to recruit top graduate students in their department - even when they had funded projects. In fact, some interviewees claimed to have knowledge of well-trained chemists leaving academic chemistry out of fmstration because their research was stymied without students. These claims require further investigation.

In 1934 the Japanese physicist Hideki Yukawa postulated the existence of yet another force particle, which he called the meson. In 1932 Yukawa began his academic career with an appointment at Osaka Imperial University, which had been founded the previous year. The discovery of the neutron and the publication of Fermi s theory started him thinking about the nature of the force that bound protons and neutrons together in an atomic nucleus. He realized that, though...
