Help with the Percy Julian Biography  
NOVA, the award-winning science series on PBS, is researching the life and career of the late Chicago-area chemist Percy Julian in preparation for a two-hour television biography to be broadcast in 2004.

The producers of the program are hoping to locate people who worked with, studied under or otherwise knew Dr. Julian, either in connection with his chemical work or in his teaching or civic roles.   Of particular interest are chemists who worked with him between 1936 and 1953, while he was at Glidden, as research director for the Soya Products Division and, later, the company as a whole.   The producers would also like to talk with anyone who worked with Dr. Julian at Julian Laboratories or the other companies he formed after leaving Glidden, the Julian Research Institute and Julian Associates.
