Career graduate

Indeed, Shreve arrived in Cambridge, Massachusetts in September 1904, having been admitted to Harvard University after taking special examinations at St. Louis. At Harvard he had a brilliant scholastic career, graduating with an A.B, summa cum laude in only three years (1907), a record that remained in Harvard s history for more than 40 years. While at Harvard, Shreve became very interested in research. He was fortunate enough to work in the laboratories of Theodore W. Richards (1914 Nobel Prize), under the supervision of Richards and Latham Clarke, a young instructor.

Ph.D. students must be prepared for the interdisciplinary environment in which they will likely spend their careers as biochemical or biomedical engineers. The best way to do this is to expose them to interdisciplinary research as graduate students. To facilitate this, a broad and stable base of research support targeted at interdisciplinary research must be created. Particularly valuable would be support targeted to... 

Most, if not all, textbooks and courses of QM proceed in a similar axiomatic way. At the end of the introduction to QM, most, if not all, students are confused. It takes a long time, several advanced courses, graduate school and often more to master QM. It is ironic that current masters of QM also internalize the paradigm of QM instruction that initially confused and frustrated them, and thus instruct new students in the same way. As a result, those students who take QM as part of a general education and not as the first step of a career in Physics, are left confused forever. I believe this constitutes a failure of the Physics community to communicate to humanity its most precious, successful and beautiful accomplishment. 

After his doctoral graduation, Helferich became Emil Fischer s personal assistant for two years, and, from 1913 onwards, a teaching assistant. Together with Fischer, he published a series of papers on glycoside synthesis during this period. His scientific career was then interrupted by the First World War, in which he served as an officer throughout. 

When Professor Rieger first became interested in ESR, commercial instruments were not available. His introduction to the field, as a graduate student with George Fraenkel at Columbia University, took place in one of the few laboratories in the world at the time where ESR equipment had been built. Upon arriving at Brown his first item of business was to design and construct a spectrometer. The instrument was eventually retired once reliable, sensitive commercial instruments became available. Nevertheless, that first spectrometer enabled one of us (ALR) to begin a scientific collaboration that lasted the rest of Phil s life, and the other (RGL) to get his own career started at Brown. 

The graduate students and postdoctoral research associates, all of whom have the author s deepest thanks, are cited in the references. Special thanks are due to Dr. M. L. H. Green and his research group for the work on molecular intercalation. The generosity of funding from the National Science Foundation is gratefully acknowledged. The author is a Sloan Foundation Research Fellow and the recipient of a Research Career Development Award of the National Institute of Health. 

Acknowledgment We dedicate this account to the memory of David Gin, a wonderful person and truly inspiring scientist. We thank the NSF (CAREER Award CHE-0847061) for support of our work. This project also benefited from support through graduate fellowships to D.B.C.M. from Eli Lilly, the NSERC of Canada, and Bristol-Myers Squibb, as well as an Amgen Young Investigator...
