		Hoffman, an outstanding chemist, is also a poet and playwright -- in this respect he resembles C P Snow, the scientist and novelist who, in his book The Two Cultures, triggered off a whole series of discussions and debates about "the chasm" separating science and art.
		Hoffman's answer is simple: the achievements of science have radically altered the face of life on earth, while those of art have not.
		Hoffman deplores this, he laments the public's attitude to science and the unfavourable press it constantly receives.

		Nobel Prize-winning chemist Roald Hoffman '58 began the 14th annual Department of Chemistry lecture on May 2 by igniting a balloon filled with hydrogen.
		Hoffman won the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1981 (with Kenichi Fukui) for the development of mathematical theories to explain the behavior of atoms and molecules, and for co-authoring the Woodward-Hoffman Rule, which helps explain the workings of chemical reactions.
		In his introduction, Dean Austin Quigley said of Hoffman, "As a research scientist, undergraduate teacher and imaginative writer, Roald Hoffman exemplifies the best of a Columbia College education." Hoffman "took the best of the varied things we have to offer and developed from them many things uniquely his own," Quigley added.

	Amazon.ca: The Same and Not the Same: Books: Roald Hoffman (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Roald Hoffman has several objectives in this book: to lift chemistry from zealous physical reductionism, to show the artistic side of chemistry, to show the humanity of chemistry, and -of course, throughout- to present chemistry.
		Hoffman lifts chemistry from reductionism by simply presenting what chemists deal with everyday.
		So peppered throughout, Hoffman gives his personal view that chemistry and it's surrounding community must face, which makes his second objective (humanity) that much better, and in addition gives the book a very warm style.

	The Scientist : Nobel Impact
		Winners spoke of the variety of ways in which the Nobels have had an impact on their lives, including greater freedom in the lab and prestige from their peers.
		However, Hoffman, who won the Nobel for his theory on chemical reactions, warned that the bright public spotlight that accompanies the prize can have a downside.
		Even while the Nobel laureates at the symposium praised their teachers and emphasized the importance of teaching, several symposium participants expressed concern over the state of science teaching and education in America.

	An Interview with Roald Hoffmann (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.cs.unc.edu) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		The theory was the result of collaborations between Robert Burns Woodward (1917-1979), the organic chemist, and Roald Hoffmann, the theoretical chemist.
		Both went on to win Nobel prizes–Woodward in 1965, for his work with natural products, and then Hoffmann in 1981, his prize specifically recognizing the importance of his theory in explaining organic chemistry by the behavior of electrons and the molecular orbitals in which they move.
		Roald Hoffmann is also a literate chemist, as we can see from his recent book Chemistry Imagined: Reflections on Science.

	orbital symmetry
		Some of the best known examples of this approach are found in cycloaddition reactions such as the Diels-Alder reaction between 1,3-butadiene and ethylene to form cyclohexene.
		In 1981 Roald Hoffman and Kenichi Fukui (who developed the ideas that the HOMO and LUMO orbitals were key in chemical reactions) received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for their work in applying symmetry principles to chemical reactions.
		One early triumph of such models was to demonstrate that the mechanism that had long been assumed for the reaction between hydrogen and iodine could not possibly explain the course of the reaction.

	FRINGE REVIEWS
		Djerassi and his co-writer Roald Hoffmann, both scientists, attempt to redress the balance with their exploration of the discovery of oxygen.
		The play’s themes are writ large (it is hard to think of what could be a more universal subject than the air we breathe), and central to the drama are the two questions, what is discovery in science and why is it so important for a scientist to be first?
		In addition, Djerassi and Hoffman have created some strong female characters; the three wives of the scientists are all strongly opinionated, in particular Lavoisier’s wife, Marie Anne (Lucy Davenport) who shares his passion for chemistry.

		Now it is chemistry's turn in Oxygen, a play by distinguished chemists Carl Djerassi and Roald Hoffman--Djerassi achieved the first synthesis of a steroid oral contraceptive and Hoffman shared the 1981 Nobel Prize in Chemistry.
		Their play humanises scientific methodology and poses important questions about the nature of discovery and scientists' motivation: "Our usual preoccupation with priority.
		"Discovery is complicated and one has to think whether finding the thing or understanding it is important", commented Hoffman on the play's content.

		In Roald Hoffman's critical essay on the aesthetics of chemistry, he states that people create stories when contemplating beauty.

		And then we delight in the telling of the story." The same can be said about contemplating beauty in a work of art.
