to the 43rd ACS Western Regional Meeting
Celebrating 100 Years of Outstanding Chemistry in Southern California!
Welcome to Pasadena, the city of roses for the 43rd ACS Western Regional Meeting. With no Western
Regional Meeting held since 2008 the Southern California Section is pleased to be able to once again
offer a regional meeting. For those who like to come regularly please note the next meeting in the Bay
Area in 2013. If you would like a regional meeting near you, please contact your local section executive
committee about making a proposal to host a meeting.
While this meeting may be shorter than most, we have arranged an incredible diversity of symposia and
plenary sessions presented by luminaries in chemistry, for Thursday and Friday, plus a special
computational chemistry symposium on Saturday. I am sure you will all join us in thanking our program
chair, Dr. Jim Kilgore, for putting together such an exciting program. We would also like to thank all the
session organizers for arranging such an outstanding selection of speakers.
We kickoff the meeting Thursday evening with a special symposium at Caltech honoring the Legacy of
Arnold Beckman. Thanks to generous funding from the Arnold and Mabel Beckman Foundation this
symposium begins with a complimentary buffet-dinner Reception including lavish refreshments. The
Beckman Symposium has been arranged by Dr. Jay Labinger of Caltech and features an invited address
by Dr. Leroy Hood, founding director of the Institute for Systems Biology.
Friday features a complimentary luncheon hosted by the ACS Board of Directors. Come and meet ACS
governance and staff members attending the meeting. Friday evening will feature a special banquet and
panel discussion highlighting 100 years of outstanding chemistry in Southern California! Our panelists are
Dr. Herb Kaesz of UCLA, Dr. John Roberts of Caltech, Dr. Rudy Marcus of Caltech, and Dr. Arthur Riggs
of City of Hope.
Saturday features our educators sessions organized by Dr. Jodye Selco covering elementary and middle
school teaching, as well as workshops on topics such as intellectual property and how to start a company.
We are featuring a comprehensive undergraduate program throughout the meeting including a judged
poster session Friday evening and in the fast lane a career-focused “speed-dating” event where students
meet informally with chemists from industry, academia, and government. Saturday will feature workshops
on applying to graduate school and jobs in industry, and culminate in a free docent led tour of The
Huntington Library.
In this International Year of Chemistry the Southern California section of ACS is also celebrating its
Centennial. Please join us in celebrating these historic events.
Thank you all for joining us for the 2011 Western Regional Meeting.
- a meeting like this comes only once a century!

Dear ACS Regional Meeting Attendees:
On behalf of the American Chemical Society Western Regional Board, I extend a hearty welcome to the
attendees of the 43rd Western Regional Meeting (WRM). I hope your experience will be an enjoyable one and
will benefit you exponentially!
The theme of the meeting, Celebrating 100 Years of Outstanding Chemistry in Southern California is illustrated
by the diverse symposia offered in its programming. There is something for everyone whether it is to hear
about promising research, explore new ideas, or present one’s own research and get valuable feedback. In
addition to the technical sessions, the Southern California Section has several special events planned for your
enjoyment. I hope you will take advantage of all the meeting has to offer.
A goal of the Western Regional Board is to have a strong and active Region with a succession of successful
Regional Meetings. Please save the date October 2-5, 2013 for the next one! Having co-chaired the 2008
WRM in Las Vegas, I know the effort that goes into hosting a WRM and I also know that it is highly rewarding
for the host Section. You may want to think about hosting a future WRM!
The Board values input from its members so be sure to let us hear from you.
Cheers to the Southern California Section for hosting this meeting and providing a valuable venue for
networking and scientific enrichment.

To: Western Region ACS Members and Guests
November 10, 2011
On behalf of the Organizing Committee, I want to express our sincere thanks to all who are participating in WRM2011.
ACS members and our many friends throughout California, Arizona, Nevada will help us showcase the diverse and
impressive work which is going on in research and education throughout the Western Region. Chemists who will be
presenting at the meeting range from undergraduates at their first scientific conference to young faculty in teaching and
research universities to world-renowned experts in their fields, including scientists whose careers have spanned more
than 50 years (as much as 70!) International contributors will also be coming from Asia, Europe, the Middle East, South
America and Australia.
This meeting also includes the celebration of SCALACS’ 100th anniversary, which provides a unique opportunity to look
back on an incredible chapter in the history of science. In 1911, the Southern California Section of ACS was founded,
representing chemists in the entire southern half of the state. At that time, California had no research universities south
of Palo Alto and the population of all of Southern California was less than 1 million. Within 25 years, scientists working
within the current boundaries of SCALACS had published research which was recognized worldwide on topics including
crystallography, spectroscopy, electrochemistry, theory of chemical bonding, organic synthesis, and more. During this
period, college preparatory schools in Pasadena and Los Angeles were transformed into early versions of the worldclass universities we know today as Caltech and UCLA, USC began its graduate programs in the chemical and physical
sciences. (For a more complete picture of these remarkable times, please read Barbara Belmont’s excellent account of
the Southern California Centennial History Project in this program book.) Today, not only do these institutions continue
at the forefront of education and research, but more than 30 newer colleges and universities throughout Southern
California also train thousands of young chemists every year as well as providing labs for outstanding researchers who
continue to make discoveries running the gamut of the chemical sciences. Our part of the Western Region is home to
leaders in materials, biomedical and applied physics R&D working in numerous academic, industrial, government and
nonprofit institutions. Southern California’s leaders in healthcare research and delivery plus the vibrant chemical,
pharmaceutical, aerospace and other chemistry-related industries highlight essential role which the chemical enterprise
continues to play in all our lives, and it is gratifying to see how far we’ve come.
When we began to plan WRM2011, Paul Shin was SCALACS Chair, and we were all looking forward to having his
unique brand of humor and his enthusiasm for bringing people into the world of chemistry to help get us through the
project. Late last year Paul developed an extremely aggressive form of cancer and died within a few months. After a
year, some of the shock from the loss of this fine friend and amazing young teacher still hasn’t entirely worn off. The
best way to remember Paul is to do what he would be doing if he were here – organize events to educate and encourage
people in all walks of life to learn more about chemistry, and to have as much fun in the process as we can. This is one
of the most important motivations we have for making sure that WRM2011 is a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
I thank you all for joining us and hope you find the program we have assembled as exciting as we do.

Southern California History Project
Celebrating 100 Years of Outstanding Chemistry in
Southern California
By Barbara Belmont
The Southern California Section is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year. With the exception of a scrapbook commemorating the
25th anniversary, we know of no physical records of the section prior to 1946. All information about the early years of the section was
found in the inaugural volume of SCALACS, where the editors had the fortunate insight to include articles featuring meeting minutes
and reminiscences from the early years. This project is devoted to telling a story about the history of the section, as well as the Los
Angeles area.
Part One: The Early Years (1901-1925)
The setting is Los Angeles, California, in the early 1900s. Although there is no natural harbor, and inadequate supply of fresh water,
the population of 100,000 is steadily growing, attracted by the mild climate and the possibilities a new life has to offer. The major
industries are agriculture (orange groves), mining, reclamation, and construction. Chemists are entrepreneurs and assayers, eking
out a living as consultants, or making sugar, soap, cement, and asphalt. There are four little colleges where chemistry of any
consequence is taught: University of Southern California, Occidental, Throop (now Caltech), and Pomona. An electric railway system
radiates from downtown Los Angeles to San Bernardino, Santa Ana, San Pedro, San Fernando, and Pasadena, making travel to and
from Los Angeles logistically reasonable.
It is 1901, and eight chemists meet together in an office at the Los Angeles Soap Company. They decide to call themselves the Los
Angeles Chemical Club, and meet monthly over lunch and beer to discuss things they have learned that might result in a prosperous
collective manufacturing venture. By 1903, the group has doubled in size, and they now call themselves The Los Angeles Chemical
and Metallurgical Club to be more inclusive of the member assayers who earn their living averting mining scams and swindles.
By 1910, these monthly meetings have grown to 20-25 people. Someone is always prepared to give a brief review of his own work,
after which follows a free-for-all discussion or good natured argument about whether the speaker knows what he is talking about.
Inspired by a visiting entourage of American Chemical Society officials earlier in the year, club member Dr. Laird Stabler, USC
Professor, oil refinery consultant, and ACS member originating from Berkeley California, petitions the American Chemical Society to
establish a local section in Los Angeles. On February 11, 1911, the newly chartered Southern California Section of the ACS,
consisting now of 60 members, holds its first official monthly meeting. The meeting topic, “Our Smoke Nuisance”, is about the Los
Angeles basin’s problem with atmospheric haze due to smoke particulate.
By 1914, the year the Panama Canal is completed, the first wharf of the 15-year-old San Pedro Harbor construction project opens.
San Pedro, suddenly 8000 miles closer to the Atlantic coast, becomes the busiest harbor on the West Coast. Los Angeles begins to
bustle with business. Luckily, the prior year saw completion of the Owens River project, which brought 26 million gallons per day of
drinking water to thirsty Los Angelenos. Also in 1914, the area of the Southern California Section’s activities expands from a 75 mile
radius around LA, to include the entire south half of the state.
During World War I, the Lockheed and Donald Douglas aerospace plants are established in the area. Also established during this
time (1917) is the first Southern California Section High School Chemistry Contest. The winner is from Nordhoff High School.
Oil is discovered all under the basin. The population soars to 1 million by 1920, 2 million by 1930 due to the resulting real estate
boom. Chemists are in greater demand and can find employment in the oil industry, aerospace industry, and the growing easterntransplant chemical manufacturing industry. Southern California ACS membership has climbed from 60 in 1920 to 450 in 1925. The
American Chemical Society holds its National Convention in Los Angeles in 1925. Angelenos begin their courtship with the
automobile, adding exhaust to the notorious particulate pollution problem in the Los Angeles basin.
Part Two: The Expansion Era (1929-1955)
The Great Depression hits the US Economy in 1929. The dreams of the growing middle class of Los Angeles are shattered. Despite
the hard and homeless times for many of this era, the oil, motion picture, and aerospace industries attract even more people to Los
Angeles in search of a better life. Braun Corporation, DuPont de Nemours, Los Angeles Chemical Company, Los Angeles Soap
Company, as well as Lockheed, Douglas Aircraft, local universities, and small analytical laboratories support the local chemists
through the economic slump. Los Angeles is host to the Olympic games in 1932. Albert Einstein flees Nazi Germany in 1933, the
same year Angelenos feel their first massive earthquake, epicentered in Long Beach. American Crystal Sugar Company, Pacific
Metals Co, California Flaxseed Co, Dow Chemical, General Chemical, and Pacific Coast Borax become corporate members of the
Southern California Section in 1936, the same year economic recovery begins and UCLA becomes a Ph.D.-granting institution.
In 1939, the Southern California Section celebrates its 25th Anniversary with much fanfare from well-wishers of the ACS
establishment throughout the nation. Union Station opens for business, on the site of LA’s original Chinatown, across the way from
LA’s original pueblo (Olvera Street). Angelenos pay no attention, because they’re consumed by their cars. The following year the
West’s first freeway, The Arroyo Parkway, is opened, in a ceremony involving local Native Americans formally granting the Arroyo
land to the government. Adventure-spirited car lovers careen down the parkway at the face-flattening speed limit of 35 MPH. Filtrol,
Max Factor, and Eastman Kodak become corporate members of the Southern California Section in 1940. The San Diego Section
springs forth in 1941, the same year the United States enters World War II. Present day’s Griffith Park Travel Town and Verdugo
Hills Golf Course become sites used to host detained Angelenos of Japanese descent.
(Continued on Page 12)

History Project (Continued from Page 11)
By time the war ends in 1945, Union Oil, Shell Oil, and Monsanto Company are corporate members of the Southern California
Section. Pacific Electric Railway’s Red Car enjoys a brief resurgence of popularity, but can’t compete with the gas-powered cars
supplied by the abundant petrochemical companies in the area. The once rural landscape is now decorated with oil well pumps from
Wilmington to Echo Park. The Southern California Section launches its inaugural edition of SCALACS magazine, riding on the
productively motivating coat-tails of the post-war optimism. The section is 1281 members strong in 1945, one year before the Mojave
Section breaks away and makes a name for itself.
After World War II, Los Angeles becomes a major chemical-producing and oil-refining district, vital to the Nation’s economy. Southern
California universities are in the forefront in scientific education and physical/chemical science research. Los Angeles is a great place
for the industrial chemist to be, offering employment in rubber, paper, cement, ceramics, soap, steel, plastics, aerospace and
electronics industries. Notable section Councilors of this era are Gordon Alles, Arnold O. Beckman, and Roger Truesdail. The
camaraderie of the chemists is high. It is a time for solidarity, support, and fraternization, as indicated by the abundance of specialized
clubs for technical types: American Electroplating Society, California Instrument Society, California Natural Gas Association, LA Paint
and Varnish Production Club, Society of Plastics Industry, LA Rubber Group, etc. Typical Southern California Dinner meeting
attendance is 300-400 people. In addition to gathering to share professional knowledge and ideas, the section holds well-attended
dinner dances and sing-alongs. Some of the sing-alongs feature the DOWbert & SHELLivan UNIONeers, which parody the popular
Gilbert and Sullivan tunes of the time with twisted nerdy lyrics. The public outreach of the section is tremendous. In 1948, the section
sponsors a radio show called “Chemists in Action”, featuring lectures, entertaining skits, and the DOWbert & SHELLivan UNIONeers.
After television becomes accessible, the program moves to KTLA and is broadcasted with regularity until the late 1950s. Dodger
Stadium is built in 1955, after moving a cemetery existing in Chavez Ravine to another location. The population of Los Angeles is
approximately 1 million. And if it weren’t for the persistent haze in the air, life couldn’t be better for the chemists of this era.
Part Three: Innocence Lost (1954-1980)
It is the mid-1950’s, and local chemists are proud that one of their very own, Linus Pauling, is the first Southern California Section
chemist to be awarded the Nobel prize in chemistry (1954). There is a proliferation of technical societies in L.A.;The Los Angeles
Technical Societies Council organizes itself in 1956 with 26 charter members, each an organization of technical/scientific
professionals. Advances in chemistry bring advances in technology and scientific understanding. By time the Russians launch Sputnik
in 1957, eminent L.A. chemists, long suspecting that our increasingly poor air quality has less to do with particulate pollution than
chemistry, suggest that chemical reactions between reactive volatiles and the sun increase the area’s ozone to unhealthful levels.
ACS members write irate letters to SCALACS challenging the heretical idea that automobile exhaust contributes to the bad air quality.
Nevertheless, the Motor Vehicle Pollution Control Board is established to consider the options of exhaust control.
The skyline of Los Angeles that can be seen changes dramatically over the next 10 years after a local ordinance that had prohibited
high-rise buildings is overturned. Increase in automobile ownership and expansion of the freeways to accommodate them conspire to
kill the once-beloved Red Car public transportation system. The last remaining trolley ceases operation in 1961. In the same year, the
Southern California Section, inspired by the steadily stellar quality of chemistry research throughout the local area, awards its first
annual Richard C. Tolman Medal to William G. Young in recognition of Southern Californians’ contributions to the field.
The rapid growth and industrial development in the region is not without a price. Conscientious chemists and idealistic activists begin
to recognize the effects of industrial pollution on health and environment, to the dismay and denial of those of more innocent times.
Rachel Carson’s 1962 book, Silent Spring, is both advocated and vilified in SCALACS magazine. An ardent defender of the benefits of
DDT, a Montrose Chemical Company chemist challenges Carson’s supporters as alarmist in a SCALACS letter to the editor.
In 1963, the Southern California Section hosts its 3rd National ACS meeting. Chemical business is still hopping, as indicated by the
tremendous financial support local companies give to the annual High School Chemistry Contest. Among the roster of 1963
contributors are: Aerojet-General, Amercoat, American Potash, Applied Physics Corp., Baxter Inc., Dun-Edwards, Beckman
Instruments, Bray Oil, Dow Chemical, General Film Laboratory, Goodyear Tire and Rubber, Hughes Aircraft, Lockheed Aircraft,
Montrose Chemical Co., Nalco Chemical, Papermate Manufacturing, Ralph Parsons Co., Pfizer, Pilot Chemical, Productol, Standard
Oil, Stauffer Chemical, Tretolite, Union Oil, US Borax, Van Camp Sea Food, and Van Waters and Rogers.
The 1960’s are turbulent times throughout the nation, for the youth with their ideals are awakening to anti-war sentiments and civil
rights activism. Despite the National Civil Rights Act of 1964, the racial tensions are high in Los Angeles, culminating in the 6-day
Watts Riot in 1965. The smoke from the resulting arson fires fills the L.A. basin, but it’s hard to tell the difference from the less-thanone-block visibility of a typical summer afternoon. For the first time in a generation, families and friends fear the fate of their young
men called up by the Selective Service to the Viet Nam War. Timothy Leary advises the hip and young to “Tune In, Turn On, and Drop
Out.” Robert Kennedy, who challenges the nation to “dream things that never were and ask why not”, appears to be America’s next
great hope until he is assassinated in 1969 at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles.
Concern for the sustainability of natural resources and health prevails over business interests, and the Environmental Protection
Agency is established in 1970. The same year, the Clean Air Act is passed, requiring local districts to attain target air quality
standards…”or else” — the “or else” being withholding of Federal Highway Development funding. Southern California is caught on a
double-edged sword – it needs the funding to supply the highways to relive the congestion it has from all the cars on the road – and
begins regulating automobile exhaust, as well as stationary and chemical sources of air pollution. The traffic congestion has its impact
on Southern California Section meetings, already indicated by the necessity of cleaving off of the Orange County Section in the
12
mid-60’s. It becomes increasingly more difficult for hundreds of ACS members to make it across the city for an event, and meetings
drop in attendance from 300 to 100. Despite that, Section Members have creative meeting topics and find ways to socialize as well as
share professional information.
The violent Sylmar earthquake abruptly awakens Southern Californians in February 1971. In 1974, chemists are also shaken up at
Rowland and Molina’s controversial theory of ozone depletion. Escalating land prices, anti-pollution regulations, the oil crisis, and the
worst recession in 40 years drive industry out of Los Angeles County. Many chemists leave town throughout the 1970’s to follow
employment opportunities, and others blame the pro-environment regulations for their forced early retirement. Chemists who can find
a job have the new field of biotechnology to grow with. Some chemists capitalize on the regulatory atmosphere and start up
environmental testing laboratories just in time to benefit from the Superfund Law passed in 1980.
The composition of the Southern California Section ACS membership changes from majority industrial to almost equal representation
from industry and academia. Los Angeles County begins cleaning up after the decades-long party of unplanned growth and expansive
manufacturing. The innocence and enthusiasm of the early years is lost, as the younger generation of chemists cope with industrial
and regulatory transitions.
Part Four: Recent Years (1981-2001)
The flower children of the late 60’s and early 70’s mature for the job market of the early 1980’s, just in time for a recession, chemical
manufacturing migration out of California, and multiple job terminations. Nevertheless, the marvelous “This Month in Chemical History”
debuts in 1982. In that same year, the Section resurrects the Undergraduate Research Conference in Chemistry and Biochemistry
from years gone by. SCALACS, previously a collaboration of the Orange County, San Gorgonio, and Southern California Sections,
becomes solely supported by the Southern California Section in 1983, due to financial constraints of the other two sections. By the
mid-1980’s, the Southern California Section has used up most of its savings to support the cost of program and SCALACS
overexpenditure, and is considered by National ACS to be a “section in trouble.”
During the introspection of the resulting austerity, section leadership realizes that it has been blessed with devoted volunteers, and
decides to create an Award for Distinguished Service to the Section. The Whittier earthquake demolishes the Calstate LA chemistry
lab in 1987, days before the Section kicks off its first ever National Chemistry Day Celebration. The following year, the first Award for
Distinguished Service is given to Agnes Ann Green in 1988, the year the National ACS Convention is hosted by Southern California.
That same year, UCLA’s Donald Cram is awarded the Nobel Prize in chemistry.
Southern Californians finally realize that they need a better public transportation system (like the one forsaken back in 1960), and Los
Angeles opens the Blue Line, the first leg of a network of light rail public transportation, in 1990. As commuters get used to the
possibilities of transportation mode change, the Southern California Section undergoes a big change that results in a relocation of the
Section Office, an entry into the computer age, and fiscal recovery. The 1990’s are tumultuous and socially twisted times in Los
Angeles with a series of major earthquakes interspersed with the Rodney King riots, the consolidation/migration of the aerospace
industry, the conviction of the Menendez brothers, the acquittal of OJ (so he can search for the real killer), and the strongest El Nino
season of record. In 1996, the California Los Padres Section forms from the part of the Southern California Section that encompasses
Ventura County north through Central California. Despite the social and structural upheaval, it is a decade of pride for the chemists of
Southern California: our own Rudy Marcus, George Olah, Paul Boyer, and Ahmed Zewail are recipients of the Nobel Prize in
Chemistry in 1992, 1994, 1997, and 1999, respectively.
Although scientists are currently one of LA’s most important products (and assets), Southern California ACS industrial chemists work
for very small businesses; they are often one of few or the only chemist. Although many chemists earn their living in conventional
chemistry jobs, the manufacturing-unfriendly regulatory environment pushes chemists to the realm of service, consulting, and
entrepreneurism (not much different than where this story started). The entrepreneurial chemistry of the new millennium involves
green catalysis, biotechnology or nanotechnology.
Los Angeles now enjoys the cleanest air since monitoring started, thanks to stringent emissions regulations, and Southern
Californians still love their cars.
Part Five: Present Day (2001-2011)
It is now 2011, the 100 year anniversary of the commencement of the Southern California Section of the American Chemical Society.
We’ve been holding our collective breath since September 11, 2001, waiting for the next explosive shoe to drop. The world is in
turmoil, weather is whacky, and we are enduring the Great Recession brought on by the collapse of the nation’s financial sector and
housing bubble in 2008. The employment outlook for graduating chemists is bleak nationwide, let alone in Los Angeles County. Los
Angeles county population is nearly 10 million, having increased 10-fold since the first chemists and assayers of the Los Angeles
Chemical and Metallurgy Club began meeting in the early 1900’s. Chemists who have jobs work in the pharmaceutical, petroleum,
and biotechnology industries, the nascent nanotechnology and green catalysis industries, or in chemical sales, service, consulting or
education sectors.
In the past 20 years, the Los Angeles public transportation system has diffracted into a rainbow of routes – the Blue, Red, Green,
Gold, Purple, Orange, and Silver Lines – encircling and looping through the major metropolitan areas. Still, it is difficult to go many
13
places without an automobile, and there are so many automobiles on the road that it is difficult to go any place at all. California’s strict
air pollution control laws help keep smog levels lower than they were in the 1960’s, but in the past decade the East San Gabriel Valley
has experienced a significant increase in the number of days the ozone concentration has exceeded Federal Health Standards.
The Southern California Section membership has hovered around 2600 people since 1996, when our northernmost territory set out on
its own as the Los Padres Section. SCALACS Magazine was briefly reunited as a tri-section publication with Orange County and San
Gorgonio Sections. Our latest claim to Nobel Laureate among our members is Robert Grubbs (2005). Our most recent moment of
pride is the news that Joe Tung of Whitney High School won a Gold Medal at the International Chemistry Olympiad this past summer.
Section volunteers are inspired and motivated by youth and hope, and promote an active community outreach program to bring the
message of science to children of all ages. From Project SEED for economically disadvantaged high school students, to Expanding
Your Horizons and the Sally Ride Festival for middle school girls, SCALACS people encourage youth to embrace math and science.
As we recruit our future scientists in these uncertain times, we take to heart the lesson this author learned from an impulsive dig
through our Section’s boxes of artifacts 10 years ago: history isn’t much different from the present.
Reflections
Some particular and perhaps peculiar observations came to mind this past year as I was piecing together the facts about the history of
the Southern California Section. I thought I would share them with you.
I was surprised to learn just how “advanced” Los Angeles was back in the early 1900’s. I had never imagined that industry and culture
could be sophisticated without the technology I grew up with. Despite its reputation for its danger and roughness, Los Angeles
attracted a lot of people, and business followed. I found myself admiring the early adventuresome chemists of Los Angeles, who, by
virtue of having no other means, were forced to figure a market for their skills. Nowadays, how many of us would move to a new
frontier without being assured that a job was waiting? Lesson learned: People thrive and prosper, even in uncertain times and
dangerous places.
Another thing I noticed during my archival dig was that even as early as 1915 or so, Section Elders were putting out the call for fresh
young volunteers. (Of course, the soliciting phrase was “looking for young men to help with…”, but that’s another story.) Evidence
upon evidence suggests that the majority of very active Section volunteers throughout these past 90 years have been in the…um…
mature chemists demographic. Despite this obvious sociological pattern of volunteerism, we’ve never succumbed to the idea that it
was hopeless trying to engage younger chemists. When one comes along to help or participate, we feel like we’ve really succeeded in
outreach. Lessons learned: People don’t give up even if it seems hopeless, and youth invigorates our mission.
The final observation I want to share is about the chemists who plied their trade and joined in on the activities bandwagon during the
heyday of Los Angeles chemistry in the late 1940’s and early 1950’s. Our long-term members frequently and fondly recount those
days of professional pride, and camaraderie, and wonder if the enthusiasm of those days will ever be recaptured. Some people say
that the business and cultural environments have changed so much that the heyday will never come back. That may be so, but I think
that there was a different reason for the momentum of those days. I suggest that those chemists in that post-war era were caught up
in the solidarity, common experiences, and euphoria of being or knowing survivors and heroes. Sort of like the high-fiving that
accompanies the people exiting an adrenaline-filled roller coaster ride. Lesson learned: People come together in times of common
hardship and rejoice together when it is over.
The Southern California Section celebrates its 100 year anniversary this year. In the years to come, I will apply the lessons I learned
from an impulsive dig through our Section’s boxes of artifacts to my own life experiences, and hope that you do the same. In these
uncertain times, as our nation responds to the September 11th terrorist attacks on our country, we can seek comfort from these
lessons: We thrive even in uncertain times. We support one another during hardship. We don’t give up hope. What goes around
comes around.

Legacy of Arnold Beckman
Symposium and Reception
Guest Speaker - Dr. Leroy Hood
Thursday 6 - 9 PM
The Beckman Center at Caltech joins the Southern California Section in hosting a special
symposium and reception celebrating the Legacy of Arnold Beckman. Following a brief introduction
by Caltech’s Professor Harry Gray and a historical perspective on the new findings in the story of
Arnold Beckman's pH meter and the DU Quartz Spectrophotometer that led to the launch of the
electronic revolution in the chemical sciences by Mr. Gerald Gallwas of Beckman Instruments, Dr.
Leroy Hood will give the invited address.
Jerry Gallwas was a member of the original team that founded and managed
the growth of what became the clinical diagnostic business of Beckman
Instruments. The original group known as RAGS (the first initials of team
member’s last names) pioneered a new technology based on kinetic rate
measurements applied to first order chemical reactions for clinically significant
blood constituents. It was a classic entrepreneurial story where management
turned down a new product proposal only to have a small skunk works team
develop and bring it to market. As the business grew, he served in many roles
from new product development to directing clinical field trials in the US, Europe
and Japan. He retired after 30 years of service as Director of Program Management overseeing
$50M per year in new medical device product development programs. A chemist by education, his
interests have always been in instrumental methods of chemical analysis and new product
development in the biomedical field.
Leroy Hood, MD, PhD
President and Co-founder
Institute for Systems Biology
Seattle, Washington
Dr. Hood is a pioneer in the systems approach to biology and
medicine. His professional career began at Caltech, where he and
his colleagues developed the DNA gene sequencer and synthesizer
and the protein synthesizer and sequencer, which paved the way for
the successful mapping of the human genome. Dr. Hood has
played a role in founding more than fourteen biotechnology
companies including Amgen, Applied Biosystems, Darwin, The
Accelerator and Integrated Diagnostics. He is a member of the
National Academy of Sciences, National Academy of Engineering, and the Institute of Medicine.
Of the 6,000+ scientists world-wide who belong to these academies, Dr. Hood is one of only fifteen
people accepted to all three. His work has been widely published, coauthoring textbooks in
biochemistry, immunology, molecular biology and genetics. Dr. Hood has published more than
700 peer reviewed articles and currently holds 31 patents.

Featuring the Western Regional Award Presentations
Friday, November 11, 2011
8:00 p.m.
We will be celebrating our 100th anniversary as a Section with a banquet and a panel discussion led
by distinguished Southern California chemists. The discussion will provide personal insights on the
people, organizations and events in recent decades which exemplify chemistry in our region. The
panel participants are Herb Kaesz (UCLA), John D. Roberts (Caltech), Rudy Marcus (Caltech), and
Arthur Riggs (City of Hope).
We will also be honoring award recipients of the Ann Nalley Regional Award for Volunteerism,
Thomas Beattie of the San Diego Section, and the Regional High School Teacher of the Year,
Brent Shenton of the Orange County Section.
Herbert D. Kaesz is Professor Emeritus in the Department of Chemistry and
Biochemistry at UCLA. Professor Kaesz, who was born in Egypt and came to the
US at the age of seven, received his B.A. from New York University and his M.A. and
Ph.D. from Harvard University. He joined the faculty at UCLA in 1960 and has been
a leading member of the inorganic and organometallic chemistry community ever
since, notably as Associate Editor of the ACS journal Inorganic Chemistry for many
years. Other honors include the Alexander von Humboldt U.S. Senior Scientist
Award, the Richard C. Tolman Medal, and the ACS Award for Distinguished Service
in the Advancement of Inorganic Chemisty. He has been elected a Fellow of both the American
Academy of Arts and Sciences and the American Chemical Society. Professor Kaesz has long been
an active member of the Southern California Section and has served in a number of leadership
positions.
John D. Roberts is Institute Professor, Emeritus, in the Division of Chemistry and
Chemical Engineering at Caltech. He received his undergraduate and graduate
degrees at UCLA, was a National Research Council Fellow at Harvard, and began
his career as a faculty member in organic chemistry at MIT, before moving to
Caltech in 1953 – bringing with him the first woman graduate student in Caltech
history. His contributions to organic chemistry have been immeasurably broad and
deep; he was a pioneer in the application of both NMR and molecular orbital theory
to organic chemistry, as well as writing (with Marjorie Caserio) the landmark
textbook Basic Principles of Organic Chemistry. Among his many awards, he has
received the Priestley Medal of the American Chemical Society, the National Medal of Science, and
the National Academy of Sciences Awards in Chemical Sciences and for Chemistry in Service to
Society.

Centennial Banquet and Panel Discussion (Continued)
Rudolph A. Marcus is the Noyes Professor of Chemistry at the California
Institute of Technology. Professor Marcus received both his B.Sc. and
Ph.D. degrees at McGill University, training as an experimentalist, and
changed his focus to theoretical chemistry during postdoctoral research at
the University of North Carolina. In 1951, Marcus joined the faculty of the
Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn. He then moved to the University of Illinois
in 1964 before coming to Caltech in 1978. Professor Marcus has made
many critical contributions to our basic understanding of chemical reactions;
he received the 1992 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for what has become known
as the Marcus theory of electron transfer reactions. This theoretical
framework has been used to describe reaction systems ranging from photosynthesis to solvent
effects to conducting polymers to quantum tunneling in enzyme reactions. Ongoing research in the
Marcus group includes studies of catalysis at the water-organic interface, isotope effects in
atmospheric chemical reactions and astrochemistry, enzymatic reactions and nanomaterials.
Arthur Riggs is Chair of the Department of Diabetes and Metabolic
Diseases Research in the Beckman Research Institute at City of Hope. He
received an A.B. in chemistry at UC Riverside; switched to biochemistry for
his doctoral work at Caltech; and was a postdoctoral fellow at the Salk
Institute before coming to City of Hope in 1969, where he served as Director
of the Beckman Research Institute from 1999-2007. He collaborated with
Genentech scientist Herbert Boyer on the first expression of a human gene
in E. coli, which led to major advances in biotechnology, notably the largescale production of human insulin. Dr. Riggs' current main area of research
is on epigenetic changes in gene function and regulation, with a particular
emphasis on the role of DNA methylation. He is a member of the National
Academy of Sciences and has received many awards, including
Distinguished Alumnus Awards from both Caltech and UC Riverside.

Plenary: Reinterpreting the genetic code: Non-canonical amino acids in protein design, evolution and
analysis
David A. Tirrell, tirrell@caltech.edu. Division of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, California Institute of
The genetic code, elucidated in the 1960s through the work of Nirenberg, Ochoa, and Khorana, provides a set of
molecular instructions for turning DNA into proteins. But what if we could change the meaning of those instructions
and decide for ourselves how to interpret the genetic code? What kinds of protein chemistry could we do then? Over
the last decade, cells have been outfitted with modified molecular machinery that enables them to use non-standard
sets of amino acids to make proteins. These developments have enabled powerful new approaches to protein design,
protein evolution, biological imaging, and proteome-wide analysis of cellular processes.

Career Workshop and Résumé Review Saturday, November 12, 9:00—4:00
This session will cover career development, valuable lessons in the work place as well as a unique insight on the job
market. This session has four components:
Part I. 9:00 – 9:50 AM: Job Searching Strategies.
This session first addresses employment trends and professional values (assessing yourself). Then, the process of
networking is explored: who is your network, how to expand it, and lastly the benefits of informational interviewing.
Part II. 10:00 – 10:50 AM: Résumé Preparation for the Chemical Professional.
Your résumé is a personal introduction and leaves an impression. Learn which personal data format is right for your
“marketing plan” and construct a winning résumé.
Part III. 11:00 AM – Noon: Interviewing Skills for the Chemical Professional.
Many job seekers think their work ends once an interview is secured. Think again! This session will examine the
interview process, types of interviews, frequently asked questions, and how to evaluate an offer.
Part IV. 1:00 – 4:00 PM: Résumé Review
