00:00:00 of you take your turn by finding an active political role, whether it be participating
00:00:05 in expert panels advisory to local, state, and federal agencies, or accepting a tour
00:00:10 of duty in Washington, D.C., from a leadership role in one of the science-oriented federal
00:00:16 agencies right up to the president's science advisor. This is a time for action. We are
00:00:23 the individuals who can and must lead in this action campaign. It's a responsibility we
00:00:29 cannot sidestep. Please join in. Help us get back on the right road. Thank you very much.
00:00:36 Thank you, Dr. Pimentel. You honor us both by your presence here tonight and by the remarks
00:01:05 you have just made. We now come to the presentation of the 36 ACS Awards for Professional Achievement.
00:01:16 The citations for these awards are printed in the programs you have for this meeting.
00:01:24 The order of presentation of awards will be in the order of the date of the establishment
00:01:29 of the award. Dr. Paul Gassman, president-elect of the Society, will read the titles of the
00:01:38 awards and the name of each recipient and the name of the sponsor and the sponsor's
00:01:44 representative. We ask that each participant come forward for presentation of award ahead
00:01:51 of time on the area to my left by the stage, and we ask that the presentation then be made
00:02:01 and you pass off on the right side. We ask that you hold your applause until all of the
00:02:09 awards are presented. Paul, will you please come forward? Thank you, Dr. Callis. As with
