2 2 Cornucopia - Spring 2015 AGFD MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR The Division of Agricultural and Food Chemistry (AGFD) continues to be an innovation leader in ACS. With numerous awards and recognitions bestowed on the Division and its members at the Fall 2014 meeting in San Francisco, AGFD continues to mold the growth and advancement of the Society. AGFD was one of only 3 divisions selected to participate in the experimental Presentations on Demand (POD) Shorts program. These are 3-5 five minute briefs that provide interesting introductions to various topics related to AGFD. Check them out (for members only) at: Further, 6 members received the prestigious ACS National Fellows recognition: Jane Leland, Robert McGorrin, Agnes Rimando, Béla Buslig, Kevin Hicks, and Eric Block". The first ever ACS Partners for Progress and Prosperity (P3) Award was awarded to AGFD and International Chemical Sciences Chapter in Thailand for the international conference organized by Agnes Rimando, Kanjana Mahattanatawee, Lauren Jackson, Peter Schieberle, and Michael Tunick. The Award for the Advancement of Application of Agricultural and Food Chemistry was won by Thomas Hofmann who is the new Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry. The Teranishi Fellowship award went to Geoffrey Dubrow at the University of Minnesota. The newest Divisional fellows were Eric Decker, Min-Hsiung Pan, Michael Qian, Agnes Rimando, and Shridhar Sathe. The Young Scientist Award winner was Silvana Martini of Utah State University. AGFD Distinguished Service Award went to Lauren Jackson and Alyson Mitchell. The 2013 World Food Prize winner, Robert Fraley, gave a compelling seminar in acceptance of the Sterling B. Hendricks Memorial Lectureship Award. I feel so honored to be affiliated with the prominent scientists who comprise the membership of AGFD. Drawing leading scientists from around the world, the AGFD program in San Francisco included 15 symposia and 308 papers, comprised of 208 oral talks and 100 posters. The program was the largest cooperative effort across all divisions. Kicking off the program was a popular symposium organized by Guy Crosby of PBS s America s Test Kitchen followed by a book signing by four of the symposium s speakers. In another premier event, student teams prepared live, interactive presentations that conveyed critical topics in food chemistry in the style of The Food Network s popular food science television show Good Eats. The team from UC-Davis won for their demonstration of macaroons. This type of student competition will also be held during the Boston meeting - see page 5 of this newsletter for more details. Overall the meeting in San Francisco was another demonstration of AGFD leadership with numerous technical and networking opportunities. Thank you to the symposia organizers, AGFD executive committee members, volunteers, and participants for making this meeting a huge success. The Division of AGFD has some of the most unique opportunities for engaging interactions. Charles Brine has initiated a pioneering program to encourage international student participation with an International Student Internet Network with founding ACS Student Chapters at the Technical University of Munich and University of Modena and Emilia Reggio. A total of 8 Chapters (4 International & 4 Sister US Chapters) will be included in 2015 with the Network aiming to utilize it to organize an AGFD International Student Symposium in Programming at national and regional ACS meetings also offers invaluable networking opportunities. Please attend the Future Programs Planning Meeting to be held on Monday during the noon break at the National meeting in Denver if you are interested in assisting with organizing symposia. If you can t attend the meeting, contact Bosoon Park at Bosoon.Park@ars.usda.gov. All members should stop by the AGFD information table outside the technical meeting to learn more about what s going on and how to get involved. I hope to see you at the AGFD Chair s Reception to be held Tuesday March 24 from 6:00-8:00 PM at the Embassy Suites across from the convention center. I would like to thank the numerous volunteers who have given me so much support and assistance. I especially would like to thank the past chairs Michael Qian and Lauren Jackson for their invaluable guidance and assistance. I also want to thank Charles Brine, Mike Tunick, Michael Appell, Steve Toth, and many others, for their volunteered contribution in making the division successful. Thank you all for your support to the division and I look forward to a fantastic 2015 for the Division.

6 6 Cornucopia - Spring 2015 AGFD Rachel Lloyd, pioneering woman in chemistry, recognized with ACS Landmark ceremony America s first woman to receive a doctorate in chemistry, Rachel Holloway Lloyd, was recognized as a pioneer with an ACS National Historic Chemical Landmark designation on Oct. 1. The ceremony took place at the Univ. of Nebraska Lincoln (UNL), where Lloyd taught from Lloyd ( ) aspired to be a professor of chemistry at a time when women were largely excluded from both science education and careers. She enrolled at the University of Zurich, in Switzerland, one of the few prestigious universities that accepted female graduate candidates in her field. In 1887 at the age 48, she became the first American woman (and the second woman in the world) to receive a chemistry doctorate. That same year Lloyd accepted the positions of assoc. professor of analytical chemistry at UNL and assistant chemist at the Rachel Holloway Lloyd Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station. She was among the earliest women to teach and conduct research at a coed university. Lloyd s research in Nebraska centered on chemical analyses of sugar beets, an emerging U.S. crop in the late 1800s. Contributions of Lloyd and other UNL scientists led to a commercial sugar industry in Nebraska as early as Today, the UNL Extension reports that Nebraska ranks sixth in the nation for sugar beet production, with > $130 million in local economic impact. In a life of constant adversities orphan at 12, widow at 26, and suffering health problems throughout her adult life Lloyd achieved distinction for teaching and research and earned admiration by colleagues and students. Her achievements far exceeded expectations for a woman in the late 1800s, said Marinda Li Wu, Ph.D. immediate past ACS president (right, w/ UNL assoc chem. prof. & ACS Nebraska Section chair Mark A. Griep, & ACS director, Div V, John E. Adams at the Oct. 1 Nat l Historic Chemical Landmark designation ceremony) Lloyd was a pioneer who broke new ground in our science and left a far-ranging legacy for the thousands of women, myself included, who would earn their doctoral degrees, conduct research, and mentor future students. The designation ceremony included the reading of a proclamation from Lincoln mayor Chris Beutler naming Oct. 1, 2014, as Dr. Rachel Lloyd Day in the city and the opening of the university s 1916 time capsule, (right, UNL chancellor Harvey Perlman and Mark A. Griep) that included a portrait and biography of Rachel Lloyd and letters from chemistry students of the era. A Rachel Lloyd Memorial Conf. on Women in Science followed, featuring 4 chemistry professionals with Nebraska connections (lower right Melanie Simpson of UNL, Juliane Strauss-Soukup of Creighton Univ., Mary Cloninger of Montana State Univ., and MariJean Eggen of Eli Lilly and Co plus Jeannette Brown, a historian of African American chemists, and Wu.) The events were sponsored by the UNL Department of Chemistry and the ACS Nebraska Local Section. ACS established the National Historic Chemical Landmarks program in 1992 to recognize seminal events in the history of chemistry and to increase awareness of the contributions of chemistry to the well-being of society. Other subjects recognized through this program have included the development of synthetic plastics, the discovery of penicillin, and the work of notable figures such as Rachel Carson, Joseph Priestley and George Washington Carver.

The minutes of the previous meeting were approved with no changes. Michael Tunick thanked Kathryn Deibler for compiling them in his absence. Stephen Toth gave the Treasurer s Report. AGFD received $35,000 in donations in 2014, with more coming. The total assets for the division are $672,600. In Dallas, AGFD paid ACS memberships for students in the award symposia who were not ACS members. There followed a discussion of whether this practice should be continued. The Awards Committee will take up this issue and add a requirement that all finalists be a member of the ACS and AGFD. The total cost to the Division for the Dallas meeting was $18,600. Investments are doing well. The budget for 2015 is expected to be about the same as that for 2014, around $87,000-90,000. Kathryn Deibler reported that the San Francisco Program has 15 AGFD symposia and 308 papers, comprised of 208 oral talks and 100 posters. Seven symposia were cosponsored. General papers were grouped into general topics. Nine nontechnical events were scheduled, including committee meetings, two book signings, the undergraduate competition, the Hendricks Award reception, and the banquet. ACS selected us for the most Presentations on Demand of any division, with 11. We are also recording 5- minute online presentations called pod shorts. AGFD, ORG, and POLY are the only divisions selected by ACS to do this so far. Nine symposia have been scheduled for the Denver meeting, and Sam Nugen added that one from the new Biotechnology Subdivision (which he chairs) will be added. Kathryn requested that we have our symposia in the Colorado Convention Center as opposed to a hotel. An overall budget of $30,000 for the Denver meeting was passed. Bosoon Park reported that Boston (August 2015) had symposia scheduled, but only five are slated for San Diego (March 2016) so far. Mike Appell, John Finley, and Michael Morello gave the Councilor s Report. Voting is due for a proposal to combine the Philadelphia and Ocean local sections, an International Chemical Sciences chapter for South Africa, several committee spots, and professional employment guidelines. Mike Qian read a report from Agnes Rimando (who arrived later), which said that AGFD was given ACS first-ever Partners for Progress and Prosperity Award for co- organizing and cosponsoring the symposium with the Thailand international chapter. Mike Morello gave the themes for the upcoming National Meetings: Denver, Chemistry of Natural Resources; continues on the next page

13 AGFD Cornucopia - Spring continued from the previous page Boston, Innovation from Discovery to Application; San Diego, Computers in Chemistry; Philadelphia (Fall 2016), Chemistry of the People, by the People and for the People; San Francisco (Spring 2017), Advanced Materials, Technologies, Systems and Processes; Washington, DC (Fall 2017), Chemistry s Impact on the Global Economy. The last two are tentative. Also discussed was identifying two or three people to create a message that describes the division and its benefits, translating it and the web site into other languages, and restricting content such as Presentations on Demand (which goes off the ACS web site after 18 months) to AGFD members. Mike Morello will investigate the cost for acquiring the archived Presentations on Demand In Awards, Chi-Tang Ho reported that the Award for the Advancement of Application of Agricultural and Food Chemistry has been won by Thomas Hofmann and that the Teranishi Fellowship award went to Geoffrey A. Dubrow, University of Minnesota. Fereidoon Shahidi reported that the newest AGFD Fellows are Eric Decker, Min- Hsiung Pan, Michael C. Qian, Agnes M. Rimando, and Shridhar K. Sathe. Charles Brine reported that the Undergraduate Student Award was won by Christopher A. Tollett, Arkansas State University, with second place going to Matthew Amicucci, University of California, Davis. He also reported that the Graduate Student Award went to Kim K. Hixson, Washington State University, and the Young Scientist Award winner would be announced at the banquet (it was Silvana Martini, Brigham Young University). Mike Qian reported that Lauren S. Jackson and Alyson Y. Mitchell won Distinguished Service Awards and that Jane V. Leland, Robert McGorrin, and Agnes M. Rimando were among the recipients of ACS Fellow Awards. Mike Qian, reporting for Cornucopia editor Carl Frey, said that the publication was posted eight weeks before the meeting. It was our largest issue ever, at 96 pages. Carl thanked Kathryn Deibler for her assistance. In Hospitality/Public Relations, Charlie Brine organized the banquet for this meeting at a nearby restaurant, with a limit of 100 people. Membership Chair Lucy Yu said that AGFD had 2913 members. Seventeen of them will receive 25-year pins. Lauren Jackson gave the Nominations report. The slate of officers consists of Kathryn Deibler, Chair, Bosoon Park, Chair-Elect, and Navindra Seeram, Vice-Chair, with Michael Tunick as Secretary and Stephen Toth as Treasurer. The slate was approved. John Finley gave the Journal report. James Seiber is stepping down after 15 years as Editor-in-Chief. The rejection rate is holding steady. They are looking for more perspectives, review articles, publication of symposia, and short items for the new Letters section. Mike Appell gave a report about the Communications Committee, which met earlier in the day. He proposed having small committees for different areas of communication. Neil DaCosta volunteered to lead the LinkedIn effort. Students with expertise in other areas of communication would be welcome. Conference calls every couple of weeks could get these ideas moving forward. Charlie Brine moved to have a $1000 budget for this, and it passed. Alyson Mitchell, who runs the AGFD Listserv, said that items should be sent to her, leaving enough time to check for accuracy. She will try to get updates on AGFD membership since the Listserv has more recipients than members. Kawaljit Tandon, Vice-Chair of the Flavor Subdivision, gave a report after a conference call with Chair Sanjay Gummalla and Chair-Elect Valeria Acquarone. Several symposium topics were proposed, and he and Secretary Ryan Elias will hold symposia in Boston and San Diego. They will have another call in two weeks, and Kathryn Deibler suggested opening it to all Flavor Subdivision members. Luke Howard, Chair of the Functional Foods & Natural Products Subdivision, reported that he had exchanges with Chair-Elect Youngmok Kim and Secretary Kevin Goodner. They also have a symposium slated for Boston with several others being considered. Luke is also Secretary of the new Nutrition Subdivision and spoke for Chair Britt Burton-Freeman. The other officers are in place and they have a symposium scheduled for Denver with another coming. Lauren Jackson proposed a Food Safety Subdivision and will write a proposal with Lucy Yu. This will be completed quickly so it can be listed on the next ACS dues statement. Kathryn suggested using the ACS Network for voting on new subdivisions and other issues. continues on the next page

14 14 Cornucopia - Spring 2015 AGFD continued from the previous page Lauren Jackson pointed out that our last Strategic Planning session was eight years ago and would like the next one to be in Boston on the Friday after the meeting ends. Mike Morello said that the only expenses will be one extra hotel night, food, and a facilitator. With no more than 10 participants, the cost should be roughly $6000. Lauren has submitted an Innovative Project Grant to ACS for this effort. Cynthia Mussinan pointed out that these sessions are effective only if volunteers follow through. A motion to tentatively approve a Strategic Planning Meeting in Boston was passed. In New Business, Mike Qian distributed a summary of AGFD members by local section and region, and listed the number of members attending each recent regional meeting. Mike Morello asked if we can provide value to members who cannot attend national meetings. It was suggested that we become more active in local sections with high AGFD membership, which would then help us get involved in their regional meetings. John Finley asked if we could try to identify local members who are setting up symposia related to agricultural and food chemistry in those meetings. Charlie Brine brought up the fact that people are permitted by the current rules to submit abstracts for the various student competitions even if they competed previously. The rules will be changed so that finalists can compete only once. Neil DaCosta said that the new Meeting Abstracts Programming System (MAPS) will be accessed through the ACS Network and that staff will be assigned to help. Kathryn Deibler noted that this not the actual process that ACS have been employing Mike Appell reported that Chemical Abstracts Service is looking for people with interesting patents as subjects for articles. Kathryn Deibler said that ribbons for badges are available for Executive Committee members and symposium organizers and that the latter receive packets of information, attendance sheets, etc. She obtained and distributed attendance records for the last few national meetings and concluded that meeting location was more important to AGFD members than whether the meeting was in spring or fall. A special meeting during the Sunday noon break during the National Meeting in Denver will focus on membership benefits (like the communication committee met during this meeting). Mike Qian reported that we have submitted two Innovative Project Grants, one by Lauren Jackson for strategic planning and the other by Charlie Brine for an international network of student chapters. Mike also said that the Northeast Section is looking for nominations for the Esselen Award for Chemistry in the Public Interest. The meeting adjourned at 7:22 p.m. Submitted by Michael Tunick, AGFD Secretary AWARD NEWS ACS Partners for Progress and Prosperity (P3) Award ACS AGFD and the International Chemical Sciences Chapter in Thailand was awarded the ACS Partners for Progress and Prosperity (P3) Award for the first joint ACS AGFD-ACS ICSCT Agricultural and Food Chemistry Symposium organized byagnes Rimando,Kanjana Mahattanatawee, Lauren Jackson, Peter Schieberle, and Michael Tunick.

15 AGFD Cornucopia - Spring continued from the previous page Robert T. Fraley, Executive Vice President and Chief Technology Officer of Monsanto, is the 2014 recipient of the Sterling Hendricks Memorial Lectureship, administered by the USDA s Agricultural Research Service and co-sponsored by AGFD and AGRO. Dr. Fraley is a pioneer in the area of plant biotechnology, whose seminal work was the basis for crops that now cover about 90% or the transgenic crop area worldwide. Worldwide, millions of farmers of both large and small farms benefitted from his research that led to the first widely adopted transgenic crops. These crops have resulted billions of dollars saved, as well more environmentally benign pest management. He has been recognized by many organizations for this pioneering work, winning the 1995 Kenneth A. Spencer Award and being named co-recipient of the 2013 World Food Prize. In the photo he has Michael Tunick on his right and Phil Heilman on his left, both of the USDA s Agricultural Research Service. more AWARD NEWS 2014 Young Scientist Award At the ACS Meeting in San Francisco in August.
