Harry Hecht |
South Dakota State University Brookings, SD |
Dr. Hecht worked on a series of essays on chemical topics of general interest. These essays, approximately 30 in number, are designed to teach chemical concepts and principles from an historical perspective. The essays, originally written for science students, were rewritten for a more general audience. |

Mark Dorfman |
Freelance Scientist Independent Scholar |
Mr. Dorfman examined the ways in which biomimicry, the science of materials and production processes within nature, has been developed within the chemical industries. He explored how and where biomimicry has played a role in shaping the industry, how it is being used in planning and production within the industry, and the potential it holds for advancing future innovation. |

Jo Ann Caplin |
Caplin Communications |
Ms. Caplin’s research is for a limited series television project about the relationships between Science and Art.
