One of Nobel laureate Dr. M. Stanley Whittingham’s earliest memories of ECS (he’s been a member for more than 50 years!) dates back to receiving a Young Author Award: “…when I got a Young Author Award and went to the Shamrock Hotel in Houston, the reception was around the pool, and the Texas Rangers came on their horses. And that was amazing!”1, 2

Elizabeth (Lisa) J. Podlaha-Murphy is Chair of the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at Clarkson University.
