...them a question, they turn and their eyes are glazed, coming out of whatever cyberspace they are in." In this trance, he says, "they're not really in a world of other people. They think they're in a world of pure technical manipulation, like a chemist creating a molecule. It's as though there are no social consequences...
...surrounded by more chain-smoking attendants than even the Texan rock-star aspirant seated across the green room. While there is no faux blond manager in black crochet at the young Bosnian girl's disposal, her entourage is a solicitous group that includes her lawyer father and chemist mother, their Serbo-Croatian translator, a publicist and a representative from Zlata's French publisher, whose apparent purpose is to help make the Filipovics' stay more enjoyable by suggesting they go see The Phantom of the Opera or -- less likely -- Schindler's List...
Anderson, who Klemperer called a "bright funguy" and an "outstanding physical chemist," is nowworking on miniaturizing the detection system foruse in remote-controlled aircraft
...time Collins graduated from high school, at 16, he was determined to become a chemist. Biology, curiously, did not interest him at all. "Somehow," he muses, "I had the notion that life was chaotic and that whatever principles governed it were unpredictable."

But as a Yale Ph.D. candidate in physical chemistry, he took biochemistry, encountering for the first time DNA and RNA, the molecules that carry the code of life...
Frustrated by the scarcity and of the drug, scientists, including Professor of Chemistry Eric N. Jacobsen, have attempted to develop synthetic forms of taxol. Jacobsen's work centers on finding a natural product which can be modified to taxol. Recently, the chemist successfully synthesized taxol from a compound known as diterpene, obtainable in large quantities from nature...
