Analytical chemistry award nominations The ACS Division of Analytical Chemistry is soliciting nominations for the 1989 presentations of the fol­lowing four awards administered by the division.

Award in Chemical Instrumen­tation sponsored by Dow Chemical Co.: Nominees shall have advanced the field of chemical instrumenta­tion through conceptualization, de­velopment, or innovative use of in­strumentation for chemical mea­surements, or have published articles or books which have had an influential role in the use of chemi­cal instrumentation.

Award for Excellence in Teach­ing cosponsored by the division and Du Pont Co.: Nominees shall have influenced education in analytical chemistry through one or more of the following: authorship of an in­fluential textbook, design and im­

plementation of a new teaching ap­proach or innovative experiments or teaching equipment, stimulation of significant numbers of students to become analytical chemists, or publication of influential articles on the subject.

Award in Spectrochemical Anal­ysis sponsored by Perkin-Elmer Corp.: Nominees shall have ad­vanced the field of spectrochemical analysis and optical spectrometry through development of unique in­strumentation, elucidation of fun­damental concepts and processes, or authorship of highly influential pa­pers and/or books.

Award in Electrochemistry spon­sored by EG&G Princeton Applied Research: Nominees shall have ad­vanced the field of electrochemical analysis through development of unique instrumentation, elucida­tion of fundamental concepts and processes, or authorship of highly influential papers and/or books.

The 1989 awards will be present­

ed at the ACS annual meeting in Miami Beach and will consist of an honorarium of $4000, a plaque, and a travel allowance for the recipient. Nominees must be members of the division, but this requirement does not apply to nominators.
