Science Board

Richard N. Zare is Marguerite Blake Wilbur Professor in Natural Science in the Department of Chemistry at Stanford University. He received his B.A. in 1961 and his Ph.D. in 1964 from Harvard University. His research areas are physical and analytical chemistry with specialized interests in application of lasers to chemical problems, molecular structure, molecular reaction dynamics, and chemical analysis. Zare has been a member of various NRC committees and served as co-chair of the Commission on Physical Sciences, Mathematics, and Applications and chair of the National Science Board. He is a member of the National Academy of Sciences, and he received the U.S. National Medal of Science in 1983.

What about the old question, how much research is enough Will it come back How will we answer this question I want to say strongly that when we try to coordinate our R D effort, we should not start with the view that we should eliminate all overlap and repetition in science funding. A colleague who served on the National Science Board in the mid-1970s came to believe that overlap and repetition is needed to assure that all the necessary research gets done.

The FDA Science Board (1) and the Advisory Committee for Pharmaceutical Science (2) discussions on the current state of pharmaceutical manufacturing, challenges faced, and opportunities for improvement are the primary basis of this report. Information gathered at several national and international scientific workshops provided examples of scientific and technological opportunities and afforded the opportunity to debate and develop a shared vision for the future. This vision is articulated as the desired state for pharmaceutical manufacturing in the 21st century.

We wish to acknowledge the contributions of the FDA Science Board, Advisory Committee for Pharmaceutical Science and its PAT and Manufacturing Subcommittees members and participants, scientists who participated in numerous conferences and workshops, and fellow regulators at FDA and around the world, and the FDA s PAT Research Team. Without vigorous discussions and debate our progress would not have been possible.

Conant was able to devote his full effort to Harvard for only a few years as the Nazi military threat came to dominate the world, Conant became increasingly involved with national affairs. As Chairman of the National Defense Research Committee, he provided effective scientific leadership during World War II. After the war he was appointed the first Chairman of the National Science Board, and in that role helped to initiate the policies that proved so successful in encouraging the development of science, especially in the U.S., but also abroad.

Good was appointed to the National Science Board by President Carter in 1980 and again by President Reagan in 1986. She was chairman of that board from 1988 until 1991, when she received an appointment from President Bush to become a member of the President s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST). Good also served on the boards of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Cincinnati Milacron, and Ameritech. She was also a member of the National Advisory Board for the State of Arkansas.

By 1978 Harrison was finishing her term on the National Science Board, to which she had been appointed by Richard Nixon in 1972. In the 1980s, she was the fourth woman president of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (the first woman chemist). Thus she was one of the very few women scientists of the 1970s and 1980s to play much of a role in the whole enterprise that is called science policy. She even ran a meeting on international science at Mount Holyoke (a women s college) in the mid-1980s.4... 

Hackerman was a leader in the field of -> corrosion, -> passivity, and surface chemistry at electrodes and metals. He was especially active in the field of -> corrosion inhibitors and establishing a molecular basis for their action. Hackerman promoted science at the federal and state levels through many activities, such as the National Science Board (1968-80 chair 1975-80). He was also active in the Electrochemical Society, serving as president (1957-58) and editor of the Journal of the Electrochemical Society (1969-89). He was elected to membership in a number of societies, including the National Academy of Sciences (1971), the American Philosophi-...
