Mark Orazem – President of International Society of Electrochemistry
Professor Mark Orazem is the President of the International Society of Electrochemistry. The International Society of Electrochemistry (ISE) is a non-profit organization based in Lausanne, Switzerland, which now comprises about 3,000 members from more than 70 countries. Annual and Topical meetings are held throughout the world, with meetings held in Europe, Asia, Australia, North and South America, and, soon, in Africa. The society journal, Electrochimica Acta, provides a high-impact-factor vehicle for sharing ideas and results. http://www.ise-online.org/

Fan Ren – New
Book
 Professor
Fan Ren in collaboration with Stephen Pearton,
has a new book titled "Semiconductor Device-Based Sensors for Gas, Chemical, and Biomedical Applications"
published by CRC Press. This book provides a forum for the latest research in semiconductor based sensors for gas, chemical, biomedical applications. It features a balance between original theoretical and experimental research in basic physics, device physics, novel materials and device structure, process, and system- bearing in mind the transformation of research into products and services related to dual-use applications.

Alex Diaz de Arce, Undergraduate Chemical Engineering Student Selected into NIH Step-Up Program
The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Disease's STEP-UP Program is designed to provide short-term research education for undergraduate students from racial and ethnic minority or disadvantaged backgrounds to expose them to research within the mission area of NIDDK.
The Program exposes students to research in areas of diabetes, endocrinology, metabolism, nutrition, obesity, digestive, liver, urologic, kidney, and hematologic diseases. The Program provides support for nine full-time consecutive weeks of basic or clinical research education and training during the summer provided by experienced faculty currently active in research related to the mission of NIDDK. Congratulations Alex! |

Professor Dickinson – Science Spotlight
Professor Richard Dickinson and his collaborators at the University of Hannover have elucidated the biochemical reactions used by cells to assemble the protein actin into cytoskeletal filaments, which are required for several essential cellular processes, such as cell crawling, cell adhesion, and cell division (EMBO J. Jan 2011). This study shows that the protein VASP polymerizes actin by a processive insertional mechanism, consistent with the "actoclampin" model for polymerization motors proposed by UF Professors Dickinson and Daniel Purich (Biophys J, 2002, 2004).
