Research, graduate training

It is of interest to note that Dr. D. P. Wilkinson, who leads the electrochemical work at Ballard, obtained his graduate training with Prof. B. E. Conway, a member of the same electrochemistry group from which Rex Watson originated. Watson was the sole electrochemical researcher on Bacon s team in 1952. 

Graduate Training. Another avenue to increased scientific progress includes the improved academic preparation of research scientists. We should, of course, heed the admonition of Rubbert ( )... 

On completion of his graduate training he became an instructor in the Chemistry Department of the University of Wisconsin, 1927-1928, and research associate in the following year. There, in association with Professor Farrington Daniels, he made his first major contribution to reaction kinetics—and that an experimental one—the demonstration that in liquid solvents, as in the gaseous phase, the decomposition of nitrogen pentoxide was a unimolecular reaction. How puzzling unimolecular processes were at that time can be fully appreciated only by those who then learned of their... 

Vivian L. Y. Yip received her undergraduate and graduate training at the University of British Columbia. She completed her B.Sc. degree in 2002 and her Ph.D. under the supervision of Dr. Stephen G. Withers in 2007. Her graduate work focused on the mechanistic elucidation of unusual glycosidases. She was funded by NSERC and the Michael Smith Foundation for Health Research during this time. She is also the recipient of the CCUCC Chemistry Doctoral Award.

In addition, graduate training in neutron scattering can be more easily performed in the environment of the low and intermediate power level research reactor. The trained scientists are then a valuable source of personnel at the high power reactors.
