Educators should take advantage of the availability of professional chemists and chemical engineers, who can speak to the students either in class or in some special forum. Contact with practicing scientists can help students put a human face on a possible future career. It is especially important that women and minority scientists also play a role in such outreach to students, to show that indeed the profession welcomes all with the talent to contribute. Some of this effort should be directed toward the early parts of K-12 education. The future of the chemical sciences may depend on the ability of educators to convince young students that it s cool to be excited by chemistry. ...

Macinnis was born in Barrie, Ontario, in 1937. In 1963, after graduating from the University of Toronto s medical school, he received a fellowship to study diving medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. Diving medicine is a specialized field, dealing with the challenges that humans face when exposed to undersea environments. 

Other methods seem to require some attention Van der Voet and Doornbos have used two-dimensional pictures of human faces to represent samples of Bourgogne and Bordeaux wines, where the original variables determine the anthropometrical variables of the faces. 

Ames also uses the CPDB to create an index of the relative cancer risks humans face, given the potency of each chemical and the average human exposure (Ames, Magaw, and Gold 1987 Gold et al. 

The same statistical limits affect animal studies. To save money, researchers conducting animal experiments administer relatively high doses to a manageable number of subjects. Analysts then extrapolate from the results to infer effects at the low exposures that humans face. Animal studies are controversial because human and animal metabolisms differ. Even if the species did not differ, the problem of extrapolating from high-level to low-level exposure effects would remain.

CHERNOFF [1973] created an unusual graphical representation of multivariate data. Fie made the assumption that the human pattern recognition ability is best trained with human faces. Faces can be described with parameters like face width, ear level, half-face height, eccentric upper face, eccentric lower face, nose length, mouth centering, etc.

The symmetry plane of the human face is sometimes emphasized by artists (Figure 2-6a-c) while other artists idealize the faces they present (Figure 2-6d-f). Of course, there are minute variations, or even considerable ones as we age, between the left and right sides of the human face (see, e.g., Figure 2-7). Differences between the left and right hemispheres of the brain have been the subject of intensive studies [5],...
