NACS News 6/14/2007 Professor Gabor Somorjai of the University of California at Berkeley was selected as the ACS Priestley Medal Awardee for 2008. The Priestley Medal is the highest honor of the American Chemical Society (ACS) and is named for Joseph Priestley, who reported the discovery of oxygen in 1774. Gabor is receiving this award, which will be presented at the spring 2008 ACS national meeting, "for extraordinarily creative and original contributions to surface science and catalysis." Widely recognized by his peers as the father of modern surface science, he has authored more than 1,000 scientific papers and three textbooks on surface chemistry and heterogeneous catalysis, and has mentored more than 300 Ph.D. students and postdoctoral fellows.
