Peter Rossky, the Harry C. and Olga K. Wiess Professor of Chemistry, a professor of chemical and biomolecular engineering and former dean of the Wiess School of Natural Sciences, was the man of the hour at a symposium held Dec. 6-7 at Rice in belated honor of his 70th birthday in April. The event at the BioScience Research Collaborative, organized and hosted by the Department of Chemistry, presented lectures by Rossky’s former mentees, collaborators and closest scientific friends. It was sponsored by the Wiess School of Natural Sciences, the Office of Research and the departments of physics and astronomy and of chemistry.
