Baum, 50, joined C&EN in 1980. He spent 14 years as a science reporter in C&EN's West Coast Bureau before returning to Washington, D.C., in 1994 to head C&EN's science, technology, and education department. Members of the chemical community are enthusiastic about the appointment. "Rudy's breadth of knowledge across both industry and academia will be a huge asset as he takes on his new role," comments Richard M. Gross, Dow's corporate vice president for research and development and new business growth. "His curiosity and dedication to excellence will continue to drive C&EN to even higher levels in the future." Harry B. Gray, professor of chemistry at Caltech, tells C&EN that Baum is "an absolutely spectacular choice for editor-in-chief. I read everything he writes, because he knows good chemistry and tells it like it is in a very engaging way. His love for chemistry always comes through loud and clear. I can't wait to read his inaugural editorial." "Rudy is brilliant and a born leader," Jacobs says. "He has a deep passion for chemistry and an understanding of where the discipline is headed. The ACS Board of Directors made a great choice." Baum has a B.A. in chemistry from Duke University (1975) and spent a year at Georgetown University Medical School. He began his career at ACS in 1976 in the Education Division, where he worked in continuing education programs. |
