Posted 18 Dec 2014
"Men & Women of Distinction: Mary Lowe Good, Ph.D." will premiere on the Arkansas PBS (AETN) Thursday, Jan. 1, at 6:30 p.m.
This installment of "Men & Women of Distinction" tells the story of inorganic chemist Dr. Mary Lowe Good whose approach to science and technology – to life in general – has earned her praise, distinctions and awards from peers, political and world leaders, four presidents and, perhaps most importantly to her, family.
"Dr. Mary Lowe Good is an outstanding scientist who has made many valuable contributions to society as a whole," AETN Executive Producer Carole Adornetto said. "We are so fortunate she has made Arkansas her home.
"Her brilliance is undeniable and astounding."
Good was founding dean of the UALR George W. Donaghey Emerging Analytics Center and now serves as special advisor to the chancellor for economic development and chair of the Little Rock Tech Park Board.
"Men & Women of Distinction: Mary Lowe Good, Ph.D." is produced by Amy Oliver Barnes.
"To know Dr. Mary Lowe Good, or at least to begin to know her, is to hear the words of one observer: 'Mary doesn't just think outside the box – she doesn't even acknowledge the box is there," Barnes said. "Arkansas has been rich with men and women of distinction, but we don't always witness their story.
"It's gratifying to tell that story to her home state."
This episode will repeat Wednesday, Jan. 7, at 6:30 p.m.; Friday, Jan. 9, at 9:30 p.m.; and Thursday, Jan. 22, at 6:30 p.m.
