Case study: Read the following excerpt of an introduction and comment on it. .......well as many of you know, I'm Shirley Newmann, Dean of College of Literature Science and the Arts, and I am very pleased to be able to welcome you here this afternoon, to this lecture inaugurating the Werner E Bachmann Collegiate Professorship of Chemistry. let me tell you a little bit, about the man, for whom this professorship is named. Werner Emmanuel Bachmann was born in Detroit, in nineteen-oh-one. he attended the University of Michigan, ...... Professor Bachmann was an outstanding chemist, and his research program was extensive, and significant. particularly well known is his work with ...... During his relatively short career, Professor Bachmann received a number of high honors, recognizing his work. ...... Professor Bachmann's legacy to the Department of ch- of Chemistry is significant, and lasting. and it is wonderfully appropriate that we have a collegiate chair honoring his contributions. it is a particular pleasure, for me today to introduce our honored speaker, Professor Gary Glick who is Professor of Chemistry and Professor of Biological Chemistry, and who was named to the Werner E Bachmann Collegiate Professorship of Chemistry in nineteen ninety-nine. Gary Glick received a B-A degree from Rutgers University ...... Professor Glick has combined research expertise in organic chemistry, and in structural biochemistry, a combination which enables him to solve important problems, in medicine and biological systems. his record reflects accomplishments in two distinct lines of research. ...... the two lines of research carried out by Doctor Glick are quite independent, and they require different techniques, skills, insights and knowledge (sets.) very few scientists can bring such diverse skills and technology, to bear on scientific issues, and his achievements in this have already been recognized by numerous awards and honors. ...... this i have to say, is an outstanding career for somebody ten years out of the end of his post-doctoral fellowship.
in addition to being an outstanding researcher, doctor Glick is a dynamic, and very effective teacher, who has contributed a great deal to the development of a new curriculum in chemical biology at the graduate level. Doctor Glick's ability to excel as a teacher while developing and rapidly making highly significant contributions in two distinct lines of research, all within a few years of initiating his own independent research program, is remarkable. his accomplishments are clear, and compelling, and his promise for the future truly exceptional. he's clearly one of the best minds in chemistry, of his generation. I am very happy to present to you today, Professor Gary D Glick, whose lecture in entitled, Research and Discovery at the Interface of Chemistry, Biology, and Medicine. a short question and answer period will follow the lecture, after which you invited to join, all of us including doctor Glick and to have conversation with doctor Glick in the assembly hall, which is located straight through these doors, and across the corridor. i'm going to call on Professor Glick in a moment but before that i'm going to call on the Chair of the Department of Chemistry, Professor Joel Marino who has a small presentation that he wants to make to Professor Glick.
