Visions bloggers would like to extend their congratulations to UMR's own Jay Switzer, the Donald L. Castleman Distinguished Professor of Chemistry, for receiving the Presidential Award for Research and Creativity from the University of Missouri.
The award was presented last night during an ceremony hosted by interim University of Missouri President Gordon H. Lamb and his wife, Nancy, in Columbia.
Switzer is an international leader in materials synthesis by electrodeposition, an area at the interface between chemistry, electrochemistry, materials science and solid-state physics. Since joining UMR in 1990, he has produced numerous patents and journal articles, including four Science papers and a Nature paper.
It's a well deserved award. Congratulations, Jay!
It is interesting to know about that "chiral". Like human hands that tends to mirror the other to create the other. And somehow like most of human has its own preference. Either one is left handed or right handed some others equal. I hope that the chiral effect has equal good result also rather than equally bad and good. Perhaps Newton said that in every action there is an equal opposite reaction. Good luck to those chemist and if you have time go on --> Commercial Roofing | Residential Roofing
