Chemical Consultants Network ZOOM MEETING

BEING A SCIENCE ADVISOR OR BOARD MEMBER

Keith D. Wing, PhD.

Wednesday March 11, 2026, 6:30 PM

Abstract: This talk will cover some expected roles and responsibilities for those wishing to act as science advisors or board members. Although my industrial and commercialization experience has mostly involved discovery of agrochemicals, I have had significant exposure to development, registration, launch and product support activities for these and other chemicals and have also been a board member and chair for science-related non-profits and a consultant for various companies. There is no one size fits all, and CCN expertise covers a wide technological range, but we'll review a few fundamentals, followed by open discussion.

Biography: Keith received his BA at UCLA, PhD at UC Riverside/Davis, and post-doc'd at UC Berkeley, finishing 1983. He was a senior research associate and team leader at Rohm and Haas Ag (1983-1990), DuPont Crop Protection (1990-2004) and DuPont Central Research and Development (2004-2012). He then consulted independently in industrial biochemistry and strategic planning (2012-2024). He has served on several nonprofit boards including the Chemical Consultants Network (former chair), the Science History Institute's Joseph Priestley Society, and the Charter School of Wilmington. He is active in ACS and has given many talks and arranged symposia in AGRO.
