Initiated in 1995, the Charles D. Scott Award recognizes individuals who have made distinguished contributions to enable and further the use of biotechnology to produce fuels and chemicals. The award is named in honor of Dr. Charles D. Scott, who founded the Symposium on Biomaterials, Fuels and Chemicals and chaired the conference for its first ten years. A member of the National Academy of Engineering and a director of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers, Chuck performed research and development on many novel bioprocessing systems while at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) including high productivity bioreactors, immobilized microbes, enzymes in organic media, and coal bioprocessing.

The Mid-Michigan Section of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers invites you to a special virtual presentation in order to provide a safe and healthy environment for all meeting attendees. In light of the impact of the coronavirus, the group will be holding all meetings virtually until further notice. Mark Jones will present Effective Communication of Scientific Data, from 12 to 1 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 12.
Effective communication begins by knowing your audience. It is about getting your audience to quickly understand your points with minimal effort on their part. A review of human perception and how it impacts understanding provides a foundation for discussion of effective data presentation. Discover how and why mind-ready presentations allow your audience to quickly grasp points and be influenced by your message.
JEDDAH: Saudi Arabia’s strategy of diversifying its economy and reducing dependency on oil is creating new career paths for the Kingdom’s chemical engineers, according to one industry leader.
Ahmed Khogeer, chair of the fuels and petrochemicals division (F&PD) at the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE), said that Saudi Arabia’s efforts will not only provide independence from the effects of fluctuating oil prices but also deliver more jobs and support to businesses.
Khogeer, the first non-American to chair the division in the institute’s 11-decade history, added that most countries have plans to reduce the use of fossil fuels and encourage renewable energy sources.
