Mario Molina has joined a stellar panel of his peers who are studying the future of our planet. Dr. Molina, 9th Environment Heinz Award, is on the Grand Challenges for Engineering committee seated by the National Academy of Engineering. The group will study four broad realms of human concern - sustainability, health, vulnerability and joy of living - and identify specific challenges within those categories. The international engineering panel of experts will seek ways to put their knowledge into practice to meet these needs. Dr. Molina shared the Nobel Prize for chemistry in 1995 and is in the chemistry and biochemistry department at the University of California, San Diego.
