Simmons, 64, will receive the medal at the national ACS meeting in San Diego this month. Being presented with the award caught Simmons by surprise. "The Priestley Medal hasn't been given very often to industrial people. I wasn't anticipating it," he says. In the award announcement, ACS explains that Simmons "is being recognized for his many years of distinguished service to chemical science, industry, and society." Simmons is prim
