The Richard
A. Schaeffer Memorial Fund
Rick Schaeffer, 1951-2004
The family of Rick Schaeffer and
Extrel CMS announced the formation of The Richard A. Schaeffer Memorial Fund to honor
Rick's memory. Rick Schaeffer was a tireless promoter of
Mass Spectrometry for almost three decades until his death in an automobile/tractor
trailer accident in 2004.
With Extrel's support,
The Richard A. Schaeffer Memorial Fund was spun
off as a completely separate entity in January 2008.
|
The Richard A. Schaeffer Memorial Fund
has the purpose to help students and post-doctoral fellows
in the field of mass spectrometry with the expenses associated
for the presentation of their current work at scientific conferences such as
American Society of Mass Spectrometry
and the
Gordon Research Conference on Gaseous Ions.
In addition, the fund will aid youth in scouting activities.
By focusing on these two activities, the Fund will support
things that were long-term important areas of Rick's life and
work. |
