Individual Nomination

Richard N. Zare 斯坦福大学教授。Richard N.扎尔是斯坦福大学自然科学玛格丽特·布莱克·威尔伯教授。他是斯坦福大学化学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，从而在分子水平上对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认识做出了开创性的贡献。Richard Zare博士的指导兴趣是针对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。他已经发展了一个恒星40年的职业生涯作为一个科学家，教育家，并在公共科学的领导者。他的一些杰出成就包括获得国家科学奖章，国家科学院化学奖，并担任国家科学委员会成员。他作为一个榜样和作家，他的兴趣和职业成功使他成为一个在科学领域有效指导女性和少数民族的榜样。他指导了49名女性或少数民族的博士后和研究生。其中，17人成为化学或物理系教师。来自一级研究机构的少数民族教师的增加可能会对高等教育界产生深远的影响。扎雷博士指导的少数民族学生非常多样化，有非洲裔美国人、西班牙裔、太平洋岛民和美洲土著人。这些学生的成果代表了对科学和商业劳动力的重大贡献，以及科学企业中女性和代表性不足的少数民族的有意义的成员。Zare博士认识到性别歧视是嵌入在我们的文化中的。通过演讲和文章，他赞同使用第九条来解决科学中缺乏公平的问题，就像联邦法律被用来促进体育运动中的公平一样。在成为斯坦福大学化学系主任的两个月内，扎尔博士宣布了可能是美国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Clayman性别研究所和斯坦福大学化学女性研究生生活委员会合作，制定了一份调查问卷，以检查科学中对性别问题的做法、态度和行为。

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.
