July 31, 2009 - IXAS Award to Britt Hedman. The International X-ray Absorption Society (IXAS) announced its 2009 Awards for achievement in the field of XAFS.  Professor Britt Hedman, a member of the SLAC Photon Science faculty and Deputy Director of SSRL, was named as co-recipient of the IXAS Outstanding Achievement Award.  The Award is shared with Professor Frank de Groot, Utrecht University, Netherlands.  This is the highest award of the International XAFS Society and is given every three years for outstanding accomplishments across all x-ray absorption spectroscopy disciplinary areas, including experimental and theoretical studies.  The award, formally named the IXAS Edward Stern Outstanding Achievement Award, recognizes the contributions of Britt in the development of technology and methodologies for low- and hard- energy XAFS and extensive applications to the study of metalloprotein active sites.  Britt’s research has been carried out primarily at SSRL, within its Structural Molecular Biology program, which is funded by DOE-BER and NIH-NCRR.

July 27, 2009 - Ed Solomon honored in inaugural class of ACS Fellows. Two faculty members of the Stanford Chemistry Department have been chosen to be in the first class of American Chemical Society Fellows for excellence in chemistry: Professor Edward I. Solomon and Professor Richard N. Zare. They will join 162 other members who "share a common set of accomplishments, namely true excellence in their contributions to the chemical enterprise coupled with distinctive service to ACS or to the broader world of chemistry," says Immediate Past-President Bruce E. Bursten, who championed creation of the program and shepherded it through board approval last year. Learn more by clicking here.
