The Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) in Richland Washington has conducted a nationwide search over the past few months to select a new Director for the Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory (EMSL), a national scientific user facility for molecular-level research. On Friday, March 11, 2005, Dr. Allison Campbell was named the Director of the EMSL. Dr. Campbell has been serving as Interim EMSL Director for the past eight months. Prior to her assignment as Interim Director, Dr. Campbell served for four years as EMSL's Deputy Director, then Associate Director for Scientific Resources. Dr. Campbell's biomaterials research has earned her many honors; her most recent award is the 2005 American Chemical Society's (ACS) Regional Industrial Innovation Award for her work on bioceramic coatings. The ACS Regional Industrial Innovation Awards are given to individuals and teams "whose creative innovations have contributed to the commercial success of their company and, consequently, to the good of the community and society." Dr. Campbell will be recognized for this award at the ACS Northwest Regional meeting in Fairbanks, Alaska in June 2005. See the EMSL news item for additional information concerning Dr. Campbell's ACS award, and the official EMSL announcement for additional information on her appointment as EMSL director.
