Established by the American Chemical Society (ACS) in 1955, the James T. Grady–James H. Stack Award for Interpreting Chemistry for the Public is designed “to recognize, encourage and stimulate outstanding reporting, which materially increases the public’s knowledge and understanding of chemistry, chemical engineering and related fields.”
The annual award includes $3,000, a gold medal and a bronze replica of the medal. The nomination deadline is February 15, 2001. Please see the official version of the 2002 ACS Awards Program information at www.acs.org/awards/grady-stack.html.
