[ EDUCATION Graduate students receive Roche organic chemistry awards offmann-La Roche of Nutley, N.J., has awarded the first scholarships to seven graduate students from around the country in a newly founded annual program to reward excellence in organic chemistry. Each of the winners traveled to Nutley to receive a certificate and $1,500 as well as to present a seminar on their ongoing thesis research. Candidates were nominated by their thesis professors and the awardees were selected by the faculties of their respective chemistry departments. Roche stipulated that nominees were to be one to two years away from getting their doctorates. Thesis topics were to be in synthetic organic chemistry, bioorganic chemistry, molecular recognition, synthetic applications of organometallic chemistry, or development of organic reactions.
