Print
INDEPENDENCE, Ohio Nissim Calderon lived long enough to learn he was named the winner of the rubber chemistry s highest honor the Charles Goodyear Medal.
But the former Goodyear scientist died in February 2020 before he could be recognized publicly by his peers for receiving the 2020 award.
More than a year has passed since Mr. Calderon died, but the Rubber Division of the American Chemistry Society took time April 28 during its Spring Technical Meeting to celebrate Mr. Calderon s life and accomplishments. Plans to honor him last year were put on hold due to COVID-19 restrictions.
