## Bio

Frank Sherwood Rowland was born June 28, 1927, and built a career studying atmospheric chemistry and chemical kinetics at the University of California, Irvine. His research identified chlorofluorocarbons — compounds ubiquitous in consumer products — as agents of ozone depletion, a finding that redrew industrial regulation worldwide. The work earned him a Nobel Prize and turned a chemistry professor into an architect of environmental policy. He died March 10, 2012.
