Currently in the final year of her Ph.D.
in organic chemistry at Iowa State
University, Jennifer Lee’s research
in green chemistry led to an opportunity to explore entrepreneurship
through startup company SusTerea
Biorenewables, LLC. The startup
aims to generate specialty and commodity aromatic building blocks
from bio-based feedstocks to create a sustainable future. The initial
target is dimethyl terephthalate for
incorporation into polyester fibers and
containers, although extensive commercial targets are possible based on
SusTerea’s versatile platform technology. In conjunction with the Center
for Biorenewable Chemicals (CBiRC)
and university professors at Iowa State
University, SusTerea will continue exploring partnership opportunities and
growth. More details are found in the
October 28, 2013 issue of C&EN and
the website, www.susterea.com. Jenny
currently serves on the SCHB executive committee as an assistant newsletter editor. She will be the editor for
the Fall 2014 Small Chem Biz.

SCHB Member News
By: Jennifer Maclachlan,
Public Relations Chair, SCHB
There was a tie for the Outstanding Collaboration Between a Local
Section and Division Award at
the 15th Annual ChemLuminary
Awards at the ACS Fall National
Meeting in Indianapolis, September 10, 2013. It was a win-win
situation for the ACS Division
of Small Chemical Businesses
which claimed both awards from
the Divisional Activities Committee: one for collaborating with the
ACS Georgia Local Section and
the second for partnering with the
Northeastern Local Section.
About the award winning
activity: ACS-GLS and SCHB
The Chemical Businesses Group
of the ACS Georgia Local Section
organized an entrepreneurial networking event featuring a showcase of 18 small chemical businesses within their local section on
November 9, 2012, hosted by Kennesaw State University, in cooperation with the ACS Georgia Local
Section Academia/Industry Forum.
According to Deanna Morrow
Hall, one of the organizers, this
event was an “enormous opportunity to raise the visibility of the
area’s chemical businesses”. The
Academia/Industry Forum included
talks on research collaborations
between universities and industry
focusing on patenting and developing commercial products, and government regulations. An Innovative Project Grant (IPG) was used
for the Local Chemical Businesses
Showcase to develop membership
Page 10
by creating a networking venue for
current and prospective members in
the chemical enterprise via the small
chemical business Showcase. This
award was one of six that the ACSGeorgia Local Section won at the
2013 ChemLuminary awards.
About the award winning
activity: NESACS and SCHB
The Northeastern Local section in
cooperation with the ACS Division
of Small Chemical Businesses and
Nova Biomedical with financial support from the NESACS Government
Relations Committee, organized a
day long symposium on October 11,
2012 titled: Starting and Financing
a Small Chemical Business. The
program included a summary of the
ACS Entrepreneurial Initiative (see
the Massachusetts Small Business
Development Center) the start-up
of Nova Biomedical in the 1970s,
conventional and SBA financing.
Other subjects included advantages
of executive education for technical/
scientific entrepreneurs, non dilutive and dilutive equity funding, and
talks on the advantages of tweeting
and other social media platforms for
marketing a small chemical business. True Stories of Chemical Entrepreneurs, an SCHB flagship symposium at ACS Meetings, debuted
at this local section symposium and
featured four NESACS members and
their fascinating stories ranging from
working with Senators Kennedy and
Dole to get government R&D funding for small businesses in the early
1980’s to the start-up of a contract
drug discovery company in the
Boston area. The evening portion of
the event was the NESACS Monthly
Meeting honoring the 50, 60 and 70
year ACS members.
Anis Rahman
Meeting Participation
Dr. Anis Rahman, past chair of the
Southeast Pennslyvania section of
http://www.acs-schb.org
the (ACS) and Planning Chair of
SCHB was present at the Joseph
Priestley Award to Dr. James E.
Hansen at Dickinson College. Dr.
Hansen, former director of the
NASA Goddard Institute for Space
Studies, is adjunct professor at Columbia University’s Earth Institute.
Dr. Anis Rahman’s presentation
at Indianapolis’s ACS meeting,
‘Terahertz radiation (T-rays) offers
potential for earlier diagnosis of
melanoma”, was selected as part of
the ACS news releases to the press.
See interview here: http://www.
ustream.tv/recorded/38602333.
Dr. Rahman, president and chief
technology officer of Applied Research & Photonics in Harrisburg
PA. states “Terahertz radiation (Trays) is ideal for looking beneath
the skin and detecting early signs
of melanoma. T-rays are different
from X-rays, which are ‘ionizing’
radiation that can cause damage.
T-rays are a form of ‘non-ionizing’
radiation, like ordinary visible
light, but they can be focused
harmlessly below into the body and
capture biochemical signatures of
events like the start of cancer.”
Stay tuned: On April 9, 2014,
Nova Biomedical hosts the ACS
Entrepreneurial Resource Center
Showcase East business pitching
competition in cooperation with
the ACS Division of Small Chemical Businesses and the Northeastern Local Section. If you wish to

What is Co-op?
by Paula Sturm
Billy Bob’s
Covering 3 acreage beneath one
roof, Billy Bob’s is absolutely
“Texas size.” The massive bistro is host to top country music
acts, able bullriding, and lots of
dancing.
The National Cowgirl Hall of
Fame is a popular museum. that
exhibits memorabilia from the
‘gals of the west.
Ft. Worth Zoo
Visitors to the Ft. Worth Zoo
will be fascinated by its interesting exhibits, from Raptor
Canyon to Koala Outback, and
other attractions such as Tasmanian Tower and their basic
safari.
February 2014
Co-op is an academic model in
which students alternate periods
of study with periods of paid work
experience in their field. The concept was pioneered in 1906 at the
University of Cincinnati by Herman Schneider. The co-op extends
student learning beyond the classroom allowing them to gain practical experience, integrate theory and
practice, and further develop their
professional and interpersonal skills.
Benefits of the Co-op Program to
Students
Working as a co-op enables students
to better understand how the concepts they learn in the classroom
can be applied in real-world settings
Working as a co-op allows students
to gain valuable experience in their
field which helps them gain confidence in their skills and gives them
an advantage as they enter the competitive job market. Students have
the opportunity to make connections
in their field which can help them
find permanent employment after
they graduate. Students can “test
drive” their new career to make sure
it is a good fit. Many students get
hired by their co-op company after
they graduate!
Why Hire a Co-op Student?
Co-op students bring enthusiasm,
fresh ideas, and new skill sets they
http://www.acs-schb.org
are eager to use. Co-op students are
a cost effective method for developing projects or obtaining assistance with daily workloads. Co-op
students quickly come up to speed
and are capable of performing work
equal to full-time employees at a
fraction of the cost. Co-ops allow companies to create a pipeline
of talented and trained potential
employees to fill their full-time
recruiting needs.
It all started at the University of
Cincinnati
The UC Cooperative Education
Program is the oldest in the world
and the largest cooperative education program at a public university
in the United States. It has been
ranked 4th in the United States by
the U.S. News and World Report.
UC students alternate semesters of
study with semesters of full-time
work. This gives students the opportunity to work in cities all over
the United States, as well as internationally. Alternating semesters
also gives employers the advantage
of having a student year-round,
if needed. For more information
about the University of Cincinnati’s co-op program, please contact
Paula Sturm at [email protected]
or call 513-556-9811.
