Title: Getting away from the bench: Behind the scenes of scholarly publishing (Catherine Goodman)
Catherine Goodman has worked in scientific publishing since 2006, including roles as a Senior Editor at Nature Chemical Biology, a Scientific Editor at the Journal of Biological Chemistry, and now Senior Associate Publisher at the American Chemical Society. She has been working on enzyme mimetics, nanoparticle assemblies, and protein folding with Vincent Rotello and Lila Gierasch at the University of Massachusetts and protein design with William DeGrado at the University of Pennsylvania. In her current role, she directly oversees a portfolio of >10 journals including ACS’s flagship biochemistry, physical chemistry, polymer and analytical chemistry titles.
You are kindly invited to the seminar:
"Asilomar 1975-2025: EMBO, EMBL and the Politics of Scientific Expertise"
held by Prof. Francesco Cassata Thursday, February 27th at 11:30 am, in the Aula Jucci, Botta II.
Francesco Cassata is Professor of Contemporary History at the University of Genoa. In November 2022, he was granted a 3-year secondment at the Centro Linceo “Beniamino Segre” of the Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei, on a research project on the early history of EMBO/EMBC/EMBL.
He has published on the history of eugenics and scientific racism, on the history of the “Lysenko controversy”, on the history of molecular biology in Italy (particularly, the EMBO founder Adriano Buzzati- Traverso and the International Laboratory of Genetics and Biophysics in Naples). On the history of EMBO and EMBC, he has published: “‘A Cold Spring Harbor in Europe’. EURATOM, UNESCO, and the Foundation of EMBO”, (Journal of
the History of Biology, 2015); “A ‘heavy hammer to crack a small nut'? The creation of the European Molecular Biology Conference (EMBC), 1963-1970”, (Annals of Science, 2024).
