Dr. Mark A. Griep is an Associate Professor of Chemistry at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. He is a biochemist who joined UNL in 1990 and has since published over 40 peer-reviewed papers, most of them about the structure/activity relationships of bacterial DNA replication enzymes but especially about primase, the enzyme that initiates DNA synthesis. In 2017, he was awarded the ACS Helen M. Free Award for Public Outreach for raising awareness about Dr. Rachel Lloyd and for using movies to teach chemical concepts. Lloyd was the first American woman to earn a Ph.D. in Chemistry, and who then became a professor at the University of Nebraska. Griep's movie project began as an entertaining and informational outreach activity that he now uses in his classroom. He wrote the book ReAction! Chemistry in the Movies (Oxford University Press) with his artist wife and he currently manages a Facebook page with the same title (although it lacks the exclamation point). Griep is collaborating with Nebraska Indian Community College and Little Priest Tribal College to develop a two-semester chemistry sequence that connects the chemistry laboratory experiences to tribal community topics.
Dr. Linette M. Watkins is a Professor and Department Head of Chemistry and Biochemistry at James Madison University. She came to JMU after spending seventeen years as a faculty member at Texas State University. She is actively engaged in promoting early involvement in undergraduate research, engaging twoyear college students in research opportunities, and using undergraduate research as a tool for the recruitment and retention of underrepresented students in the chemical sciences. She has mentored over 100 undergraduate students in bacterial enzyme research, including several from local two-year colleges. Dr. Watkins was a 2006 NSF Senior Discovery Corps Fellow, supporting a collaborative research community between Texas State and San Antonio College. She was named a 2014 American Chemical Society Fellow in part for her advocacy on behalf of diversity and inclusion as a former chair of the ACS Committee on Minority Affairs, the ACS Scholars, and the ACS Women Chemists of Color program.
