We are delighted to announce that Professor Bob McMahon and emeritus Professor Tom Farrar have been named Fellows of the American Chemical Society. The fellows program began in 2009 as a way to recognize and honor ACS members from academe, industry, and government for outstanding achievements in and contributions to science, the profession, and ACS. Congratulations, Bob and Tom!

Other scientists with UW-Madison connections that were recognized in a quick reading of the list ( let us know if we didn’t catch all of them so we can acknowledge them) are Luis Echegoyan, Ken Fivizzani, Catherine Murphy and Ed Vedejs. Congratulations, Luis, Ken, Catherine, & Ed!!
