Robert A. Bernoff, chemistry professor emeritus, former dean at Penn State Abington, and science education innovator, has died at 89
Robert A. Bernoff, 89, of Elkins Park, a pioneering professor emeritus of science and general chemistry and former dean and chief executive officer at the Abington campus of Pennsylvania State University, an innovator in science education, inventor, and worldwide lecturer, died Monday, April 18, of melanoma at Jefferson Health’s Abington Hospice at Warminster.
He called his freshman class “Chemistry for Poets,” and, in his honor, the Dr. Robert A. Bernoff Award in science and engineering is presented annually at Penn State Abington. His wife, Sandy, said: “He had a way of hanging back, listening to others, and then condensing what he had learned into salient answers. He could see the end results.”
“I don’t deny there is a certain amount of risk for the researcher who joins a small company,” he told a technology trade publication in 1962. “But greater personal and financial rewards are possible, too.”
