two years as aNational Science Foundation Postdoctoral Fellow at Texas A&M University, hejoined the faculty of The Ohio State University, where he rose to the rank ofDistinguished University Professor. In 2005, he moved to the University ofTennessee, Knoxville, as Distinguished Professor of Chemistry and Dean of theCollege of Arts and Sciences. Professor Bursten has been a Camille and HenryDreyfus Foundation Teacher-Scholar and an Alfred P. Sloan Foundation ResearchFellow, and he is a Fellow of both the American Association for the Advancementof Science and the American Chemical Society. At Ohio State he has received theUniversity Distinguished Teaching Award in 1982 and 1996, the Arts and SciencesStudent Council Outstanding Teaching Award in 1984, and the UniversityDistinguished Scholar Award in 1990. He received the Spiers Memorial Prize andMedal of the Royal Society of Chemistry in 2003, and the Morley Medal of theCleveland Section of the American Chemical Society in 2005. He was President ofthe American Chemical Society for 2008. In addition to his teaching and serviceactivities, Professor Bursten's research program focuses on compounds of thetransition-metal and actinide elements.

CATHERINE J. MURPHY received twoB.S. degrees, one in Chemistry and one in Biochemistry, from the University ofIllinois, Urbana-Champaign, in 1986. She received her Ph.D. in Chemistry fromthe University of Wisconsin in 1990. She was a National Science Foundation andNational Institutes of Health Postdoctoral Fellow at the California Instituteof Technology from 1990 to 1993. In 1993, she joined the faculty of theUniversity of South Carolina, Columbia, becoming the Guy F. Lipscomb Professorof Chemistry in 2003. In 2009 she moved to the University of Illinois,Urbana-Champaign, as the Peter C. and Gretchen Miller Markunas Professor ofChemistry. Professor Murphy has been honored for both research and teaching asa Camille Dreyfus Teacher-Scholar, an Alfred P. Sloan Foundation ResearchFellow, a Cottrell Scholar of the Research Corporation, a National ScienceFoundation CAREER Award winner, and a subsequent NSF Award for SpecialCreativity. She has also received a USC Mortar Board Excellence in TeachingAward, the USC Golden Key Faculty Award for Creative Integration of Researchand Undergraduate Teaching, the USC Michael J. Mungo Undergraduate TeachingAward, and the USC Outstanding Undergraduate Research Mentor Award. Since 2006,Professor Murphy has served as a Senior Editor for the Journal of PhysicalChemistry. In 2008 she was elected a Fellow of the American Association for theAdvancement of Science. Professor Murphy's research program focuses on thesynthesis and optical properties of inorganic nanomaterials, and on the localstructure and dynamics of the DNA double helix.

PATRICK M. WOODWARD received B.S. degreesin both Chemistry and Engineering from Idaho State University in 1991.Hereceived a M.S. degree in Materials Science and a Ph.D. in Chemistry fromOregon State University in 1996. He spent two years as a post-doctoralresearcher in the Department of Physics at Brookhaven National Laboratory.In1998, he joined the faculty of the Chemistry Department at The Ohio StateUniversity where he currently holds the rank of Professor. He has enjoyedvisiting professorship sat the University of Bordeaux in France and the Universityof Sydney in Australia. Professor Woodward has been an Alfred P. SloanFoundation Research Fellow and a National Science Foundation CAREER Award winner.He currently serves as an Associate Editor to the Journal of Solid StateChemistry and as the director of the Ohio REEL program, an NSF-funded centerthat works to bring authentic research experiments into the laboratories offirst- and second-year chemistry classes in 15 colleges and universities acrossthe state of Ohio. Professor Woodward's research program focuses on understandingthe links between bonding, structure, and properties of solid-state inorganicfunctional materials.

MATTHEW W. STOLTZFUS received his B.S.degree in Chemistry from Millersville University in 2002 and his Ph. D. inChemistry in2007 from The Ohio State University. He spent two years as ateaching postdoctoral assistant for the Ohio REEL program, an NSF-funded centerthat works to bring authentic research experiments into the general chemistrylab curriculum in 15 colleges and universities across the state of Ohio. In2009, he joined the faculty of Ohio State where he currently holds the positionof Chemistry Lecturer. In addition to lecturing general chemistry, Stoltzfusaccepted the Faculty Fellow position for the Digital First Initiative,inspiring instructors to offer engaging digital learning content to studentsthrough emerging technology. Through this initiative, he developed an iTunesUgeneral chemistry course, which has attracted over 120,000 students from all overthe world. Stoltzfus has received several teaching awards, including theinaugural Ohio State University2013 Provost's Award for Distinguished Teachingby a Lecturer and he is recognized as an Apple Distinguished Educator.
