"Professor Joan S. Valentine is this month's guest as one of the "Voices of Inorganic Chemistry." Joan is the Editor-in-Chief of Accounts of Chemical Research and a leading light in bio-inorganic chemistry. Her research has focused on the interaction of superoxide with enzymes containing transition metal ions that serve to mediate the destructive effects of reactive oxygen species. This research has taken Joan on a fascinating journey from inorganic spectroscopy to molecular biology, and has led her to examine links between these enzymes (the superoxide dismutases), their mutants and Lou Gehrig's disease. Her's is a story of inorganic chemistry at the biological frontier - and beyond. Also, Joan offers advice to young scientists on cultivating different scientific communities and how to juggle the demands of professional and personal lives. As before, I would be happy to hear from any of you about the interview and am willing to convey any questions you may have directly to Joan. Send them to [email protected]."
