Chemical and Engineering News, 1977
In 1972, 1974, and 1976, the National Science Foundation surveyed 50,000 scientists. Trends revealed were that most scientists seemed to be staying in the same fields, that the median age was increasing, and that industry continued to employ about 60 percent of the sample. (CP)

Lepkowski, Wil – Chemical and Engineering News, 1985
The National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded support for supercomputer centers at Cornell University, Princeton University, University of California (San Diego), and University of Illinois. These centers are to be the nucleus of a national academic network for use by scientists and engineers throughout the United States. (DH)

Chemical and Engineering News, 1984
Highlights findings from National Science Foundation's National Survey of Academic Research Instruments and Instrumentation which examined the amount, condition, and cost of existing equipment systems for 1982 in computer sciences, physical sciences, and engineering. Indicates that one-fourth of the equipment is classified as obsolete by…

Chemical and Engineering News, 1983
The numbers of scientists/engineers employed at colleges and universities continue to grow, although not so rapidly as their numbers grow in the federal and industrial sectors. This is the conclusion of a survey from the National Science Foundation covering data collected in January 1982. Other survey highlights are reported. (JN)

Stinson, Steve – Chemical and Engineering News, 1980
Discussed is the National Resource for Computation in Chemistry (NRCC) closing as of September 30, 1981. NRCC was the first effort of the U.S. chemical community to create a centralized research facility where chemists could gain access to equipment too costly for individual laboratories to buy and maintain.

Chemical and Engineering News, 1983
Highlights a National Science Foundation (NSF) assessment which determined whether there will be an adequate supply of science, engineering, and technician personnel for meeting defense/nondefense needs between 1982 and 1987. Indicates that personnel shortages may occur in a few science/engineering employment categories, but chemists/chemical…

Chemical and Engineering News, 1984
Provides data (obtained from an American Chemical Society survey) on undergraduate studies in chemistry. Lists and discusses chemistry, elective chemistry, and supporting courses (such as writing and physics) considered to be important by professional chemists. Also recommends that undergraduates pursue studies in biochemistry, polymer chemistry,…
