Chemical Information Bulletin Vol. 63(4) Winter 2011
Other Internet-related projects led by Henry include how a chemical journal might evolve to benefit
from the Internet (the CLIC project, jointly with Cambridge University, Leeds University and the
RSC), an exploration of online chemical conferencing (the ECTOC series), the ChemWeb
discussion forum, the Molecule-of-the-month columns, and co-organizing the first ever Internet-
focused session at an ACS national meeting (in 1995) dedicated to the Internet and the Web, along
with dedicated workshops in Washington DC, the UK, and at Imperial College. In addition to his
Internet-related activities, Peter has also overseen development of software including OSCARi for
experimental data checking and its extension to OSCAR4 for chemical tagging and other chemical
natural-language processing; OPSIN name-to-structure conversion (delivered as Open Source to the
community); Chem4Word add-in; and CrystalEye online resource of crystal structure data from the
Internet. Peter has also been very active in the principles and practice of Open Data, in chemistry
and elsewhere, and he was one of the team that defined the Panton Principles (honored by the
SPARC Innovator, 2010).
Peter has B.A. and D.Phil. degrees in chemistry from the University of Oxford, and was a lecturer at
the Universities of Ghana and Stirling. After a period in industry as Head of Molecular Graphics at
Glaxo Group Research, he turned to academia as Professor of Pharmacy at the University of
Nottingham, and is currently Reader in Molecular Informatics and Senior Research Fellow,
Churchill College, University of Cambridge.
Henry has a B.Sc. in chemistry from Imperial College, London, and Ph.D. and D.Sc. (London).
After a period as a SERC Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Texas, he returned to Imperial
College, London, where he has held the Chair in Computational Chemistry since 2004.
Henry and Peter's pioneering and continued efforts have changed the ways in which chemistry is
handled, shared, stored and communicated on the Internet for the better of all, and they are worthy
recipients of the 2012 Herman Skolnik Award.

2011 CINF Scholarship for Scientific Excellence: Winners Announced
Three scholarships of $1,000 were awarded by
FIZ CHEMIE Berlin. The recipients presented
posters of their work during the CINF Welcome
Reception on Sunday evening, and received the
awards from Professor Rend Deplanque during
the CINF Luncheon on Tuesday. The three
winners were:
