Did you know...? Chemical and Engineering News has come out with the 2007 report on research spending by chemistry departments. Stony Brook ranked 28th nationally on overall spending on chemical research and development, up from #46 in 2006. Our ten-year rate of growth (10.2%) outpaces all but a handful of universities. We ranked 47th overall in purely federal chemistry research funding in 2007. Prof. Stan Wong has been designated as the 2009 recipient of the Buck-Whitney award by the Eastern NY Section of the American Chemical Society. The award was first presented in 1976, to our late colleague Paul Lauterbur. Stan will receive the award and give an address at the Nov. 19th Section Meeting in Albany.
