OTHER DISTINCTIONS
ISI SCIENCE WATCH (Vol 3, No. 3, April 1992) Rated Texas Tech Analytical Chemistry Program second in the world based on impact factor of publications in 1984-1990.
Dionex Corporation has been supporting our work on ionic analysis continuously for the past twenty years.
In 2006 the NSF has selected our Arsenic project for highlighting to congress.
In 2010 the NSF Chemistry Division Committee of Visitors identified the arsenic project as an exemplar of excellence in support of the Division’s investment in research, education, and infrastructure, one of 29 projects so recognized in the entire Chemistry division from hundreds of funded projects spanning 2007-2009 (http://www.nsf.gov/mps/advisory/covdocs/CHEcov_2010.pdf).
Our work on perchlorate has received extensive recognition in the past year, from CNN to NPR, from The Wall Street Journal to Nature. I was asked to and did brief congressional staff. For a partial listing of websites still carrying the story, see:
