George WhitesidesBiography
George M. Whitesides, a chemist by background, is Woodford L. and Ann
A. Flowers University Professor at Harvard University. "I am
bipedal," he adds, "and hope, soon, to grow large
diaphanous wings that are reflective to space-based radar. I tag
along with a group of graduate students and postdocs who study
materials science, condensed-matter physics and chemistry, and
biochemistry. In my spare time, I think about subjects such as the
performance of musical instruments in extreme environments (for
example, under water, in ultrahigh vacuum, at cryogenic temperatures
and so on)."
