Research, graduate training scientific

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 ( )... 

This book is a result of the first symposium on the Maillard reaction held in this country (the second in the world2). Panel discussions with audience participation were held on the subjects of food and nutritional benefits of Maillard reaction products and the toxicology of Maillard reaction products but are not reported here. Interaction between participants during this meeting helped cement relations for continued help and perhaps will promote some new areas for cooperative research between American and foreign scientists. This symposium was also an important element in the training of graduate students it provided them with increased awareness of the breadth of the scientific field. We hope that it is true of each of you ... 

Matt, a Ph.D. student at Stanford School of Medicine, provided me with the majority of the scientific journal articles that you see referenced in the text. Not only did he somehow find the time between his graduate studies and research work (and running his own chewing gum company) to pull these articles for me, but he was just late-night calls away when I needed the similes that lead to clarity "... so, dendritic cells are like the generals that train the troops. ... 

Hildebrand s and McCutcheon s dissertations marked the apex of development for the rotating anode and the double-cup mercury cathode. Smith and his students continued to used these techniques for three more years until Smith became Provost of the University of Pennsylvania in 1910. The responsibilities of this office caused Smith to cut back the time he spent on his scientific research and limit the number of graduate students he trained. Consequently, with the advent of Smith s new administrative duties, the rotating anode and double-cup mercury cathode ceased to be objects of active research. 

After having completed his graduate education. Professor Marvel remained at the University as a member of the Chemistry faculty. He "retired from Illinois in 1961, and moved to the University of Arizona where he continued his research in polymer chemistry. Out of the more than 500 publications, over 100 were from Arizona during his active retirement. Speed has so far trained 176 Ph.D. students and 128 postdoctoral fellows, and inspired countless young chemists to the science of macromolecules. No doubt these numbers will increase along with his scientific productivity.
