Frances will speak in Philadelphia as part of the 2022 Ullyot Public Affairs Lecture. Frances’ lecture will illustrate how we create new-to-nature enzymes that expand the scope of molecules and materials that can be built using synthetic biology.

The Ullyot Public Affairs Lecture emphasizes the positive role that the chemical and molecular sciences play in our lives. Endowed in 1990 by chemist Glenn Edgar Ullyot, the lecture is presented annually in partnership with the Philadelphia and Delaware sections of the American Chemical Society, the Department of Chemistry at the University of Pennsylvania, the Department of History and Sociology at the University of Pennsylvania, and the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of the Sciences.

Billie Greer

Those of you who missed Billie’s acceptance speech at the Coro Southern California awards dinner…shouldn’t!

Eleven other Trusteeship members have received Coro awards over the years and they, of course, spoke eloquently – and like normal people who accept awards.

Billie rapped! And brought the house down. Or, better said, UP – to their feet in a laughing, stomping, standing ovation. The video below is far from professional, but you’ll get the idea. So click and enjoy!
