Sherwood Rowland and Mario J. Molina, who subsequently received the Nobel Prize.&nbsp; Since then, other Esselen Award recipients have also been Nobel awardees and many have been recipients of the most prestigious awards in their various fields.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please note: any field of chemistry or affiliation is appropriate for nomination. The primary consideration of the committee is that the scientific work has been an important contribution to the public well-being and that the work\u2019s significant value to society has become apparent within the last five years or so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This letter is to seek nominations of colleagues whose work meets the criteria and purpose of the award. The enclosed brochure provides more detail on the nature of the award, a list of previous awardees as well as the criteria and procedure for nominations.&nbsp; Additional information is available at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nesacs.org\/awards_esselen.html\">http:\/\/www.nesacs.org\/awards_esselen.html<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The deadline for nominations is <strong>October 15, 2021<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We would appreciate you posting the award notice and circulating the information as appropriate.&nbsp; Thank you in advance for your interest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Northeastern Section American Chemical Society, Inc.
