Marc Loudon

Marc Loudon is a Distinguished Professor of Medicinal Chemistry Emeritus at Purdue University. His teaching awards include the Clark Teaching Prize (at Cornell), Purdue’s College of Pharmacys Henry Heine Outstanding Teacher Award (1980 and 1985), the Class of 1922 Helping Students Learn Award, the Charles B. Murphy Award, membership in the Teaching Academy of Purdue, listing in Purdue’s permanent “Book of Great Teachers,” and designation as the Carnegie Foundation “Indiana Professor of the Year”. Dr. Loudon developed and implemented cooperative-learning techniques for use in large organic chemistry classes, and he was involved in chemistry curriculum re-design for life-science majors and pre-health profession students with the NEXUS program of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. Dr. Loudon has authored or co-authored “Organic Chemistry” since its first publication in 1984.

Jim Parise

James Parise is a Professor of the Practice of Chemistry at Duke University. Previously, he was a Teaching Professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of Notre Dame. He has won numerous teaching awards, including the Thomas Madden Award for Exceptional Teaching (2015), the Edmund Joyce Award for Excellence in Teaching (2019), and the Shilts-Leonard Award for Sustained Excellence (2021). His primary focus is on helping students from all backgrounds and preparedness levels succeed in organic chemistry. Throughout his career, he has developed and implemented new teaching technologies for large organic chemistry classes, written laboratory manuals and a book chapter on writing in the laboratory, and trained and mentored new instructors. Dr. Parise has been a co-author of "Organic Chemistry" since 2011.
