Call for Nominations for The 2008 Edelstein Award.

The Division of History of Chemistry (HIST) of the American Chemical Society (ACS) solicits nominations for the 2006 Sidney M. Edelstein Award for Outstanding Achievement in the History of Chemistry. This award, first given in 2002, honors the memory of the late Sidney M. Edelstein, who established the Dexter Award in 1956, and continues the tradition of the Dexter Award for Outstanding Achievements in the History of Chemistry, which was discontinued after 2001. Lists of previous recipients of the Edelstein Award and its predecessor Dexter Award are available at the HIST webpage (http://www.scs.uiuc.edu/~mainzv/HIST/).
