Then JNS resumed life as Journal Editor, emeritus Professor of Environmental Toxicology and FST, working with graduate students, and teaching,
along with some service activities with California Environmental Protection
Agency and ACS.
He received the Spencer Award and Sterling Hendricks Lectureship and
Lifetime Achievement Award in Environmental Toxicology from the AGRO
Chemical Division of the ACS, as well as the Lifetime Achievement Award
from the Environmental Toxicology department at UC, Davis.
Dr. Seiber and his research associates have published 300 manuscripts,
books, and book chapters. He and his wife, Rita, reside in Davis, California,
where they operate a small vineyard and visit with three children and seven
grandchildren and other relatives and friends. Dr. Seiber currently teaches
agricultural and environmental chemistry and serves on committees with
the USDA, the EPA, and CalEPA. JNS immersed himself in the writing of this
book and fishing.
“ And recovering from onset of Parkinson’s disease—biggest challenge of
my life!”
Thomas M. Cahill is an Associate
Professor in the School of
Mathematical and Natural Sciences
at Arizona State University. He
grew up in science as the son of a
physics professor at UC, Davis, so
there was little doubt he would end
up in science. His childhood was
full of plants, fossils, rocks, and
family vacations to national parks.
His love for the environment led him to earn a BS in wildlife and fisheries
biology at UC, Davis. His master’s degree was also at UC, Davis, measuring
the impact of mercury in the birds of Clear Lake, California, which had a
superfund site on the shores of the lake that had discharged mercury into the
ecosystem. His PhD investigated the hydrochlorofluorocarbon degradation
product trifluoroacetic acid in water bodies that might be impacted by this
persistent pollutant. Post-doctoral experience involved both environmental
modeling of chemical fate and transport with Dr. Don Mackay and ambient
air sampling for acrolein, which is a common highly reactive chemical that
frequently appears near the top of hazardous air assessments.
In addition to Dr. Cahill’s aerosol and acrolein research, he is leading
projects that are assessing the toxicity associated with abandoned mines
in the Sonora Desert. Recently, he has undertaken natural products projects to identify antiviral compounds in plants. He works extensively with
undergraduate students and primarily teaches analytical chemistry and
toxicology.
Dr. Cahill has written 46 peer-reviewed articles, including the following:
