If Chef Claud Beltran relied only on his food, his influence on the Pasadena food scene would most definitely be felt, and his Sunday night jazz series, Bacchus LIVE, provides perhaps the only true supper club experience in Pasadena. When it comes to influence, most chefs count on their food to do the work. Owner and Chef Bacchus Kitchen, Claud & Co Catering Among the many benefits to humanity are environmentally-friendly methods of manufacturing chemicals used to create renewable fuel sources and pharmaceuticals, including improved production of a drug for treating Type 2 diabetes. Her work has application in medicine, neurobiology, chemical synthesis, and alternative energy. “Life-the biological world-is the greatest chemist, and evolution is her design process,” says Arnold in an interview for. Born in Pittsburgh, Arnold came to Caltech in 1986 and began working on “directed evolution,” a method for creating enzymes in the laboratory using the principles of evolution. Arnold is following in those esteemed footsteps as the Linus Pauling Professor of Chemical Engineering, Bioengineering, and Biochemistry, and winner of the 2018 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. And Caltech has produced an inordinate number of winners, including the chemist Linus Pauling, the only two-time solo winner.
When you’re talking global influence, a Nobel Prize certainly certifies you qualify. We suspect you’ll agree that those you know belong here, and come to appreciate the contributions to Pasadena and the San Gabriel Valley from those you may be meeting for the first time. This list is a small but representative sample of the area’s abundant human resources that ultimately benefit us all. Were there space for three times that number we could have legitimately filled it. These 50 people are decidedly not alone in their influence on the life of our community. But if they’re not already somebody you know about, they should be. Many of the faces you’ll find in our 50 Influential People of Pasadena may already be familiar. And that is precisely why we all love this area and the people who make it sparkle and shine, not just locally, but often nationally and even internationally as well. We live in a small pond that harbors an inordinate number of big fish. It is not remotely comprehensive-when it comes to a city (and surrounding area) as dynamic and culturally “oversized” as Pasadena, that would be an impossibility for a publication such as ours. Much like our annual Women in Business issue, we looked to who has drawn our specific attention and the attention of other community members who pay at least as much attention as we do. Our intention, however, is not to be definitive, but reflective. Often one of the problems with these sorts of lists is their seemingly arbitrary nature.
