Robert P. Lattimer
Robert P. Lattimer (February 2, 1945 - [1]) is a retired chemist who worked for Lubrizol as an Advanced Materials research and development technical fellow.[2] He is an advocate for including intelligent design in public science curriculum.
Education[edit]
Lattimer attended the University of Missouri where he earned a B.S. in chemistry. He obtained his doctoral degree in 1971 in physical/analytical chemistry from the University of Kansas.[3]
Career[edit]
Lattimer worked for Noveon and Lubrizol as a research chemist. He retired as a Senior Technical Fellow following nearly 40 years of service. His published work on mass spectrometry and polymer characterization[4] and degradation have been widely cited. He is a past Vice-President of the American Society for Mass Spectrometry. Lattimer was Vice-Chairman of the 1985 Gordon Research Conference on Analytical Pyrolysis.[5] His most cited work treated the subject of mass spectrometry of transition metal macrocycles.[6]
Political Advocacy[edit]
Lattimer is a board member for the Eagle Forum of Ohio. He has advocated for pro-family issues in the state, and he has been the Science Issues Chairman.[7][3] He advocated for including Intelligent Design in the Ohio Board of Education's state science curriculum.[8][9] Lattimer was a founder of the advocacy group Science Excellence for All Ohioans (SEAO).[10] He co-authored a book titled The Evolution Controversy.[11]
Awards and recognition[edit]
- 1990 - Sparks–Thomas award
