Priestly Award

[edit]

"...Whitesides is scheduled to receive the Priestley Medal, the highest honor conferred by the ACS, in 2007."

This was written 15-June-2006. Will an editor please update the sentence to use past tense and cite this source? Thanks, GChriss <always listening><c> 23:24, 4 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Tense corrected and awards placed in chronological order. That suggested citation would be more properly placed at the Priestley Medal entry, not here.PBarak 00:57, 5 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
