The Peter Anthony Leermakers Symposium
The Peter A. Leermakers Symposium was created in memory of Professor Peter Leermakers of the Wesleyan Chemistry Department, who died tragically in 1971. The following year, Professor Max Tishler launched the symposium in Leermakers’s honor and, through his extensive connections in the chemistry community, attracted some of the world’s leading scientists as speakers.
