, About the Author
Janice Gorzynski Smith was born in Schenectady, New York. She received an A.B.
degree summa cum laude in chemistry from Cornell University, and a Ph.D. in Organic Chem-
istry from Harvard University under the direction of Nobel Laureate E. J. Corey. During her
tenure with the Corey group, she completed the total synthesis of the plant growth hormone
gibberellic acid.
Following her postdoctoral work, Jan joined the faculty of Mount Holyoke College, where
she was employed for 21 years. During this time she was active in teaching organic chemistry
lecture and lab courses, conducting a research program in organic synthesis, and serving as
Daniel C. Smith
department chair. Her organic chemistry class was named one of Mount Holyoke’s “Don’t-miss
courses” in a survey by Boston magazine. Jan and her family moved to Hawai‘i in 2000, and
she became a faculty member at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa. In 2003, she received
the Chancellor’s Citation for Meritorious Teaching.
Jan resides in Hawai‘i with her husband Dan, an emergency medicine physician, pictured
with her in the Galápagos Islands in 2021. She has four children and nine grandchildren. When
not teaching, writing, or enjoying her family, Jan bikes, hikes, snorkels, and scuba dives in
sunny Hawai‘i, and time permitting, enjoys travel and Hawaiian quilting.
