AMERICAN CHEMICAL SOCIETY INVITED LECTURES Awards Ceremony

Inspirational and Motivational speech to the top 100 High School Graduating Seniors (Lower New York State and New York City) who declared a chemistry major in their accepting Colleges; presented by request at Adelphi University, June 2005 Princeton Section of ACS meeting at Princeton University How a French Fry Fries (thermodynamics, chemistry, physics, biochemistry, mathematics, food science, and public health research), April 2009 – Celebrating 50 Years in ACS OTHER "PUBLICATIONS" As with any other scientist working in organizations and consultancies where updates, reports, white-papers, etc. are expected periodically, Dr. Blumenthal has "published" literally thousands of "reviewed" papers that will never be seen outside the organizations for which they were written under strict confidentiality. In order that some aspects from this private work are not lost, Dr. Blumenthal, with the cooperation of his associates and clients, has embedded special insights and teachings in his short courses, graduate classes as a Lecturer at Rutgers University, and other schools around the world, and in mentoring many interns, graduate students, and employees working in the technology companies he founded since leaving larger industry. Dr. Blumenthal is currently writing books and monographs for eventual publication. He is studying new fields including development of optimized processes and products from botanicals, biofuels from renewable and recycled oils, purification and standardization of food, flavor, texture, and fragrance materials at “village farm” level, and the total synthesis of foods from non-cellular sources, for military, rescue, and long duration space missions (like the “Food Replicator” from Star Trek ® ) based upon his 1970 “how-to” seminar at Rutgers University. Also, in returning to his original roots as a physical chemist in rheology, chromatography, thermal analysis, and microscopy. Dr. Blumenthal is training others, and applying that talent to “industrial forensics”, a nascent field requiring a very broad base of knowledge of commodities, technologies, and experience of consumer and machinery products and how they are made. Dr. Blumenthal has, over many years, expanded his consulting practice to include expert witness services for the chemistry, engineering, food science, materials science, personal care, consumer products, packaging, lipid technology, stability, quality assurance, and laboratory management fields in which he is recognized.
