ANALYTICAL CHEMISTRYhas appointed three new members to serve on ita INSTRUMENTATION Advisory Panel for three yeaia beginning in 1985.The new members are Richard Danchik of the Aluminum Company of America, Thomas Fmar of the University of Wisconsin, and John Holland of Michigan State University. Members who are leaving the panel this year after three years of service are M. Bonner Denton of the University of Arizona, Raymond Dessy of Virginii Polytechnic Institute and State University, and Michael Gmas of the University of Nebraska. The six members who will continue to serve on the panel are Larry Faulkner of the University of Illinois, F. James Holler of the University of Kentucky, Peter Keliher of Villanova University, Curt Reimann of the National Bureau of Standards, D. Warren Vidrine of Nicolet Analytical Instruments, and Andrew Zander of the Perkin-Elmer Corporation. INSTRUMENTATION Advisory Panel members aid in the selection of appropriate topics and qualiried authors for ANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY'S monthly INSTRUMENTATION feature. They also contribute to a dialogue on the overall aims and scope of the feature. Panel members occasionally help review maturial for the feature and often make direct contributions as au-
prehensive reviews; instead, they serve to introduce and promote interest in the subject matter. The articles are normally invited, but unsolicited artides are also considered for publication. Brief biographical sketches of the three new panel members follow.
Richard Danchik received his BS in chemistry from Duquesne University in 1965 and earned his PhD from Wayne State University in 1968.He joined the Aluminum Company of America (ALCOA) in 1968in the Analytical Chemistry Division of Alma Laboratories, where his research interests included atomic absorption spectrometry, electroanalyticaltechniques, ion-selective electrodes, and the development of automated process control systems. In 1979,he h e m e manager of Alcoa's Environmental Health Laboratorv, where he is resDonsible for develipment of new m&hodology and instrumentation in the field of industrial hygiene chemistry. Danchik has been activelv involved with the Pittsburgh Conf6rence on Analytical
Chemistry and Applied Spectroscopy and will he the 1986 conference president. He has been a member of the Advisory Board of ANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY (198%84)and is the author or coauthor of a number of technical articles including the Nonferrous Metallurgy Review for ANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY. Thomas Farrar received his BS degree from Wichita State University in 1954 and his PhD in chemistry from the University of Illinois (Urbana) in 1959.Since 1979 he has been professor of analytical and physical chemistry and director of the Chemical Instrumentation Center at the University of Wisconsin (Madison). His research interests include fundamental studies of NMR spin dynamics;transform techniques in NMR, optical, and mas spectroscopy; spectroscopicinstrumentation desien and fabrication: computer contFol of instruments A d computer networking; and studies of molecular structure and dynamics. His awards include the IR-100award for the design of the FX-aeries of Fou-
thors. INSTRUMENTATION &Cles fOCUs on chemical measurement systems, including both instrument design and specirc applications. In contrast to research articles, which are written for the specialist, INSTRUMENTATION articles are written for the general reader who wishes to broaden his or her knowledge of analytical instrumenta. tion.
