Percy Lavon Julian (1899-1975)

摘要

From Harvard he took a short-lived teaching position at West Virginia Collegiate Institute (now West Virginia State University, Institute, West Virginia), and then moved on to serve as an associate professor at Howard University in Washington, DC, and later, as head of the department of chemistry. The paper was about to be sent to the editor of JACS when a series of 10 papers by world-renowned chemist Sir Robert Robinson of Oxford (awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1947 for his investigations on plant products of biological importance, especially the alkaloids) on the identical subject were published.
