Hach Award for Entrepreneurial Success awardee and his daughter and business partner, Jennifer Maclachlan, will share anecdotes of growing up Driscoll: With a father who pioneered the life saving hand-held photoionization detector in the 1970's, acquired numerous analytical instrumentation companies including European businesses, started and remains on the board of directors of the world's largest privately-held in-vitro diagnostics company, a passionate advocate for education, an avid science fiction fan and a beloved volunteer to the Northeastern Local Section of the American Chemical Society.
