RICHLAND, Wash. - A researcher at the D.O.E.'s Pacific Northwest National Lab and her colleague at ecosVS have been acknowledged with 2 ChemLuminary awards from the American Chemical Society.

The awards they received were given for efforts as part of ACS president Allison Campbell's Innovation Initiative.

The 3 sessions included outstanding women chemists in business and commerce, science and technology, and science policy and government.
The 2nd award recognized their work with the Division of Small Chemical Businesses to lead technical programming, exhibition booths and networking events at 4 ACS regional meetings in 2016. The events focused on the global impact of entrepreneurship in the field of chemistry.
