Richard A. Lerner – Little Known Facets of an Outstanding Man
Richard was mainly known as a gifted scientist, a charismatic leader, and an original and creative President. And he was my good friend and a role model for over three decades. The term impossible was not part of his vocabulary. I′ve learned from him that there is no limit to imagination and creativity, no limit to the number of assignments one can fulfill, and no limit to the magnitude of a dream one can turn into reality. Richard was blessed with the unique talent to quickly decipher the essence of people‘s thoughts and discover the hidden parts of their personalities, which allowed him to focus on what he defined as the most valuable issues and productive discussions. My experience with him included the joy of scientific discovery, the silent mode of human communication, the power of commitment and dedication, and the wildest sense of humor. Now, nearly two years after his departure, I feel free and obliged to share unknown stories and anecdotes that illuminate various facets of his personality.
期刊介绍:
The fledgling State of Israel began to publish its scientific activity in 1951 under the general heading of Bulletin of the Research Council of Israel, which quickly split into sections to accommodate various fields in the growing academic community. In 1963, the Bulletin ceased publication and independent journals were born, with Section A becoming the new Israel Journal of Chemistry.
The Israel Journal of Chemistry is the official journal of the Israel Chemical Society. Effective from Volume 50 (2010) it is published by Wiley-VCH.
The Israel Journal of Chemistry is an international and peer-reviewed publication forum for Special Issues on timely research topics in all fields of chemistry: from biochemistry through organic and inorganic chemistry to polymer, physical and theoretical chemistry, including all interdisciplinary topics. Each topical issue is edited by one or several Guest Editors and primarily contains invited Review articles. Communications and Full Papers may be published occasionally, if they fit with the quality standards of the journal. The publication language is English and the journal is published twelve times a year.
