Vicki Colvin, associate professor of chemistry, has received a Camille Dreyfus Teacher–Scholar Award for 2001. Colvin earned the $60,000 prize for her project titled “Protein Crystals as Scaffolds for Materials Design.” The award was established by the Camille and Henry Dreyfus Foundation to strengthen the teaching and research careers of talented young faculty in the chemical sciences. The Camille Dreyfus Teacher–Scholar Awards Program focuses on individual research attainment and promise, and evidence of excellence in teaching also is expected. In general, 15 awards are made annually. Neal Lane, university professor and former science adviser to President Clinton, has been named to the Committee on International Security Studies (CISS) of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. Founded in 1982, the committee plans and sponsors multidisciplinary studies focusing on emerging issues with global implications and exploring cooperative, multilateral means of providing peace and security. Lane also holds appointments in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Rice and as senior fellow of Rice’s James A. Baker III Institute for Public Policy. The Houston Press chose Mark Ramont, director of the Rice Players and lecturer in the English department, as the year’s best Houston director. The Press said about Ramont and a play, Jon Maran’s Old Wicked Songs, he produced: “It is a delicate story, rich with the sort of nuance that requires intelligence, patience, generosity and reserve from its director, which is exactly what the gifted director Mark Ramont brought to Stages this past winter.” Vicki Colvin Neal Lane Jennifer West The groundbreaking work of Rice’s scientists was displayed in the September issue of Scientific American. The issue, dedicated to nanotechnology, featured a cover article by Richard E. Smalley, the Gene and Norman Hackerman Professor of Chemistry and professor of physics. But he was not alone. Six of the nine articles in the special nanotechnology section mention the research of Rice faculty, including Robert Curl, the Harry C. and Olga Keith Wiess Professor of Natural Sciences; James Tour, the Chao Professor of Chemistry, professor of mechanical engineering and materials science, and professor of computer science; Naomi Halas, the Stanley C. Moore Professor in Electrical and Computer Engineering and professor of chemistry; and Jennifer West, associate professor of bioengineering and associate professor of chemical engineering. http://www.rice.edu/sallyport/2002/winter/whoswho/inthenews.html (1 of 2) [10/30/2009 11:00:43 AM]
