John Bradley is a professor in the Faculty of Science of the University of the Witwatersrand in South Africa. After obtaining his Ph.D. in chemistry from King's College, London, in 1962, he held a post-doctoral fellowship at Florida State University (USA). In 1964, he returned to South Africa and began teaching and conducting research in physical organic chemistry at the University of the Witwatersrand. In the early 1980s, (when South African higher education was still strongly white oriented), out of concern for educationally disadvantaged students, he spearheaded initiatives at his university to provide such students access to science education. These initiatives included entry-level programs for the disenfranchised and a research program in chemistry education, which has enabled 7 Ph.D.and 14 M.S. students to complete their studies under his leadership. In 1990, Bradley became director of his university 's Centre for Research and Development in Mathematics, Science, and Technology Education. Aware of his leadership in science education, IUPAC asked him to join the IUPAC Committee on Teaching of Chemistry, which he chaired from 1996 to 2001. He served as education officer of the South Africa Chemical Institute from 1992 to 2000 and as its president from 1998 to 2000.


IOCD is a nonprofit organization dedicated to collaborating with chemists in developing countries to bring about advances in chemistry and its application to the needs that face these countries.
