J e a n e t t e G. Grasselli, distinguished visiting professor and director of research enhancement at Ohio University, was recently chosen as the 1990 chairman-elect of the ACS Division of Analytical Chemistry. Until Jan. 1,1989, Grasselli was a research director at the R&D department of BP America, where she was responsible for the emerging materials, applied physics, surface science, polymers and composites, biotechnology, catalysis science, and analytical and environmental science laboratories. Grasselli received a B.S. degree in chemistry (summa cum laude, 1950) from Ohio University, an M.S. degree from Case Western Reserve University (1958), and honorary D.Sc. degrees from Ohio University (1978) and Clarkson University (1986). She holds one patent and has published 70 papers and six books on molecular spectroscopy and analytical problem solving. In addition, she has a special interest in science education and in promoting industrial-academic interactions. The numerous committees on which she serves include the Visiting Committee for the National Institute of Standards and Technology, the Advisory Committee for Chemistry of the National Science Foundation, and the Chemical Sciences and Technology Board of the National Research Council. She is also an associate member and secretary of the IUPAC Spectroscopy Commission and a member of the U.S. National Committee for IUPAC. Grasselli, a former member of the Advisory Board of

effective January 1990. Fenselau will be responsible for the peer review of scientific papers in the area of mass spectrometry, succeeding Klaus Biemann of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, who has been an Associate Editor of the J O U R N A L since December 1985. The four other external Associate Editors are Georges Guiochon of the University of Tennessee and Oak Ridge National Laboratory (separations), Walter Herlihy of Repligen Corporation (biotechnology), Robert Osteryoung of the State University of New York at Buffalo (electroanalytical chemistry), and Edward Yeung of Iowa State University (spectroscopy). Fenselau received an A.B. degree from Bryn Mawr College (1961) and a Ph.D. from Stanford University (1965) under the direction of Carl Djerassi. Upon completion of postdoctoral work at the University of California and the NASA Space Science Laboratory at Berkeley, Fenselau joined the faculty of the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. She was appointed professor in 1982 and in 1987 moved to the University of Maryland, Baltimore County. Fenselau's current research interests include the application of MS to biotechnology and the chemistry and enzymology of protein modification and metabolism. She has published more than 160 papers and book chapters. Her numerous awards and honors include the Garvan Medal (1985) and the Maryland Chemist Award (1989). In addition, she was the editor-in-chief of Biomedical and Environmental Mass Spectrometry (1973-89), served on ANALYTICAL C H E M I S T R Y ' S Instrumentation Panel
(1978-80), was president of the American Society for Mass Spectrometry (1982-84), and served on the Editorial Advisory Board for Chemical & Engineering News (1983-85).
New ANALYTICAL Staffer Alan Newman recently joined the Washington staff of A N A L Y T I C A L C H E M I S T R Y as an Assistant Editor.
His responsibilities include handling peer-reviewed manuscripts, and writing NEWS and FOCUS for the A pages. Prior to joining ANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY, he was the senior science writer with the Johns Hopkins Magazine. Writing is a second career for Newman, who has also taught chemistry and engaged in basic research. Newman holds B.A. and M.S. degrees in chemistry from Northwestern University and a Ph.D. from the University of Pennsylvania.
ANALYTICAL C H E M I S T R Y (1972-74), received the Garvan
Medal (1986), the Anachem Award (1978), and the Williams-Wright Award (1980). Gary Christian of the University of Washington assumed the 1989 chairmanship on Oct. 1. In addition, Edward Yeung of Iowa State University and Ted Williams of the College of Wooster were elected councilor and alternate councilor, respectively. The following officers were reelected: Fred Hawkridge of Virginia Commonwealth University, treasurer; and Kenneth Busch of the Georgia Institute of Technology, secretary. Continuing to serve as councilors are Grasselli; Galen Ewing, formerly of Seton Hall University; and Robert Libby of Norwich Eaton Pharmaceuticals. L. J. Cline-Love of Seton Hall University, Margaret Merritt of Wellesley College, and Robert Osteryoung of the State University of New York at Buffalo will continue to serve as alternate councilors.
For Your Information The National Science Foundation has awarded $3.1 million to support and establish regional centers aimed a t increasing minority participation in the scientific and technological workforce. The five-year grants will fund science programs for minority students that begin in kindergarten and continue through the bachelor's degree level.
