R. B. Woodward as a Teacher and a Scholar

In 1981, organic chemistry luminaries held forth in a one-of-a-kind symposium to honor the legacy of Robert B. Woodward, who passed away in 1979. Among the 28 scientists who partook in that symposium was Jerome Berson, Professor of Chemistry at Yale University, along with Harry Wasserman, Ernest Wenkert, Daniel Kemp, and James Hendrickson.

We thank Dr. Mark Mazur and and Professor J. Michael McBride for providing these videos to the organic chemistry community. Recorded: August 26, 1981
