Abstract
Passion, perseverance, and a multidisciplinary team: That’s what the American Chemical Society’s 2017 Heroes of Chemistry awardees say are the key components of developing successful commercial products that benefit humanity. Six teams of industrial chemical scientists, from Bristol-Myers Squibb, Corning, the Dow Chemical Company, DuPont Crop Protection, Genentech, and Merck & Co., received ACS’s most prestigious industry award during the ACS national meeting in Washington, D.C., in August.
