10Tuesday - ACS Akron Section Award. Dehua Pei, The Ohio State University is this year’s winner. We will have an afternoon lecture at the University of Akron and an evening program at Tangier.
12Thursday - ASME meeting with CAM ASME. The speaker will be William J. Landis, Ph.D., Professor of Biochemistry and Molecular Pathology and Professor of Orthopaedic Surgery at the Northeastern Ohio Universities Colleges of Medicine and Pharmacy (NEOUCOM) in Rootstown. Dr Landis teaches medical and pharmacy students and is also heavily involved in research in orthopaedic medicine. The topic of discussion for the evening will describe his work in making body parts in the laboratory or, more properly, "growing new bone, cartilage, and tendon members to replace injured or diseased fingers, ears, or knees in the human body." The research involves animal subjects initially, with human trials left to the future. His work requires methods of chemistry, physics, biology, materials, polymer science, and engineering. I am sure we will find his subject interesting and informative. We expect this to be held at the 356th Fighter Group, although that is not yet certain. And, we expect it to be structured as we normally do: 5:30 PM social hour, 6:30 PM dinner, and 7:30 PM program.
