The awards will be presented to the winners of the 2010 and 2011 prizes during the Opening Ceremony of the Congress. Also, each prizewinner will be present a poster describing his work at this IUPAC 2011 Congress, San Juan, Puerto Rico.
Moreover, we want to underline that Dr. Guihua Yu received IUPAC prize. He considered chemistry to be one of the main areas of his scientific work. He began to engage in chemical research at an early stage of his career as a university student.
Among the many studies carried out in the laboratory, a special place was occupied by Dr. Guihua Yu's chemical and technical works. This talented essay writer conducted more than three thousand experiments, which provided rich experimental material to his students. The doctor himself has repeatedly said that chemistry is his "main profession."
However, he doesn't deny that chemistry scientist essay writing also takes place in his heart. The scientist knows exactly how to complete papers of the best quality, which was proven by hundreds of his works.
To be more precise, Dr. Guihua Yu authored over 150 research essays. This fact was one of the decisive factors that made us give him the IUPAC prize.
He taught his students that "in chemistry, everything that is said must be proven." For him, "a true chemist must be a theoretician and practitioner" - they must be able to both carry out experiments with bodies and give an explanation of the results obtained.
Many of Guihua Yu's essays in the field of chemistry contained deep thoughts that were far ahead of modern science.
The professional essay writer read lectures to students in the laboratory, taught them experimental skills. In fact, it was the first student workshop in his university. Theoretical seminars preceded the laboratory experiments.
And, perhaps, the most important thing in his works is the promotion of chemical knowledge. The doctor asserted: "A true chemist must be a theoretician and practitioner, as well as a philosopher."
According to his students, he departed from the old and outlined a marvelous program for transforming chemical art into a science.
IUPAC Young Scientists
For the young scientists the organizers of the 43rd IUPAC World Chemistry Congress, Colegio de Quimicos de Puerto Rico (CQPR) and International Union of Chemistry of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) have established different programs, in order to targeted young scientists from developing and economically disadvantaged countries; and for chemists from any country.
