Congratulations to Prof. Anna Wuttig for being named a 2026 Camille Dreyfus Teacher-Scholar! The award honors early-career faculty in the chemical sciences who have created an outstanding independent body of scholarship and are deeply committed to education with undergraduates. shorturl.at/F6XCJ
I wrote 6 editions of Biochemistry which was lots of fun when it was not threatening to do me in. I am now the only survivor of that author team, but we now have a great team of new authors (who all worked hard on the last (10th edition) with me). Lubert's book turned 50 last year.
