Dr. Town obtained chemistry degrees at the University of Birmingham and the University of Lancaster in the U.K. and worked at the Universities of Sheffield and Cambridge before joining the European Commission at JRC Ispra in Italy. It was here, as leader of the ECDIN and EINECS projects, that his interest in the interaction between Science and the Law was first raised. His long career has spanned chemistry, databases, software, and publishing. In 2000, he was Chair of the ACS Chemical Information Division.
Judith N. Currano Judith N. Currano has been the head of the University of Pennsylvania’s Chemistry Library since 1999. She holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in chemistry and English from the University of Rochester, where she performed undergraduate research in the lab of Robert K. Boeckman, Jr., and a Master of Science degree in library and information science from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Her main research interests are in chemical information education and research and publication ethics, and she publishes and presents frequently on both topics. She is an editor of two books, Chemical Information for Chemists: A Primer and Science and the Law: Analytical Data in Support of Regulation in Health, Food, and the Environment. At the University of Pennsylvania, she provides chemical science researchers with a broad spectrum of library and information services, while teaching a required graduate-level course in chemical information to the Ph.D. students.
