Research impact

摘要

In December I had the pleasure of being invited to IIT Kanpur and to the University of Hyderabad, in both cases to help celebrate the International Year of Chemistry 2011. During each multi-day symposium, I was able to speak with many scientists from different parts of India and learn about Indian aspirations to improve the country’s scientific reputation. These interactions encourage me to share the criteria for making tenure in the Stanford Chemistry Department where I was Chairman of the Department for the past six years.
