RICHARD N. ZARE Stanford UniversityProf. Richard N. Zare is the Marguerite Blake Wilbur Professor in Natural Science at Stanford University. He is Chair of the Department of Chemistry at Stanford University and a Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) Professor. Professor Zare is renowned for his research in the area of laser chemistry, resulting in a greater understanding of chemical reactions at the molecular level. By experimental and theoretical studies he has made seminal contributions to our knowledge of molecular collision processes. Dr. Richard Zare's mentoring interests are directed at improving opportunities for all students, but he is passionate about gender and ethnic equity in STEM. He has developed a stellar 40 year career as a scientist, educator, and leader in public science. Some of his distinguished recognitions include receiving the National Medal of Science, the National Academy of Sciences award in Chemistry and serving as a member of the National Science Board. He has had a national impact as a role model and author and his interests and career success place him in the position to serve as a role model for effective mentoring of women and minorities in science.He has mentored 49 postdocs and graduate students who are women or minorities. Of these, 17 became faculty in chemistry or physics. The addition of this number of minority faculty from a tier one research institution could have a profound effect on the higher education community. The minority students mentored by Dr. Zare are very diverse, with African American, Hispanic, Pacific Islanders and Native American being represented. These student outcomes represent a significant contribution to the science and academe workforce as well as meaningful membership of women and underrepresented minorities in the scientific enterprise.Dr. Zare has recognized that gender discrimination is embedded in our culture. Through presentations and articles, he has endorsed the use of Title IX to address the lack of equity in science, just as the federal law has been used to promote equity in athletics. Within two months of becoming Chair of the Chemistry Department at Stanford University, Dr. Zare announced what may have been the country's most generous maternity-leave policy for graduate students in chemistry. Dr. Zare worked with the Stanford University Clayman Institute for Gender Research and the Stanford Chemistry Woman's Committee on Graduate Life (WCGL) to develop a questionnaire to examine practices, attitudes and behaviors towards gender issues in science.

斯坦福大学 RICHARD N. ZARE 教授理查德·N·扎尔 (Richard N. Zare) 是斯坦福大学自然科学系玛格丽特·布莱克·威尔伯 (Marguerite Blake Wilbur) 教授。他是斯坦福大学化学系系主任和霍华德休斯医学研究所 (HHMI) 教授。 Zare 教授以其在激光化学领域的研究而闻名，使人们对分子水平的化学反应有了更深入的了解。通过实验和理论研究，他为我们对分子碰撞过程的了解做出了开创性的贡献。 Richard Zare 博士的指导兴趣是改善所有学生的机会，但他对 STEM 中的性别和种族平等充满热情。作为一名科学家、教育家和公共科学领域的领导者，他在 40 年的职业生涯中取得了辉煌的成就。他的一些杰出荣誉包括获得国家科学奖章、美国国家科学院化学奖以及担任国家科学委员会成员。作为榜样和作家，他在全国范围内产生了影响，他的兴趣和职业成功使他能够成为有效指导科学界女性和少数族裔的榜样。他指导了 49 名女性或少数族裔博士后和研究生。其中，17 人成为化学或物理教员。来自一级研究机构的如此数量的少数族裔教师的加入可能会对高等教育界产生深远的影响。扎尔博士指导的少数族裔学生非常多元化，其中包括非裔美国人、西班牙裔、太平洋岛民和美洲原住民。这些学生成果代表了对科学和学术界劳动力的重大贡献，以及科学事业中女性和代表性不足的少数群体的有意义的成员资格。扎尔认识到性别歧视根植于我们的文化中。通过演讲和文章，他支持使用第九条来解决科学领域缺乏公平的问题，就像联邦法律被用来促进体育领域的公平一样。就任斯坦福大学化学系主任后两个月内，扎尔博士宣布​​了可能是美国针对化学专业研究生最慷慨的产假政策。 Zare 博士与斯坦福大学克莱曼性别研究所和斯坦福大学化学女性研究生生活委员会 (WCGL) 合作开发了一份调查问卷，以调查科学界对性别问题的做法、态度和行为。
