Founder's Award
History
The Organizing Committee of the 32nd Annual Conference on Bioassay, Analytical, and Environmental Radiochemistry began the tradition by presenting three awards for meritorious service to the Bioassay Conference.
The Organizing Committees of several subsequent Annual Conferences have carried on this tradition which, as you can see, is not necessarily an annual event.
The Award
The award has taken the form of either a parchment, which was also signed by the attendees at the assembly, or a wall plaque. The text of the award is reproduced below:
- Whereas
, the participants in this conference pursue professional excellence and soulful cogitation,
- Whereas
, topics of debate at this conference are at the forefront of scientific knowledge,
- Whereas
, this conference is blessed with independent existence, and is dedicated to the preservation of free creativity and open exchange of intellection, and
- Whereas
, these publications of acclaim are the sole documents issued by this conference for public perlustration,
- Be it known
that all honours, rights, privleges, and praises which pertain to this letter of recognition are presented to _________ by conference colleagues in sincere felicitation and appreciation for inspirational leadership and meritorious scientific contributions at the XXth Bioassay, Analytical, and Environmental Radiochemistry Conference.
