UNIONDALE, NY / ACCESS Newswire / November 11, 2026 / Marquis Who's Who honors Howard T. Silverstein, PhD, DC, for his expertise as an educator and administrator. With extensive experience in the realm of chemistry and chiropractic education, Dr. Silverstein has supported the next generation of scientific professionals to push the fields forward. Though retired, he continues to contribute to the field of chemistry through volunteer work.
Before Dr. Silverstein began his professional career, he pursued academic foundations. He studied chemistry because he enjoyed the field and soon earned a Bachelor of Arts in chemistry at Alfred University in 1965. Two years after this, he completed a Master of Science at the University of Illinois. These degrees continue to inform his life, but his studies soon took a new direction.
From Chemistry to Chiropractic
After working briefly as a chemist, Dr. Silverstein received a job offer from a chiropractic college. The person who hired him explained that chemistry is important, but that it would be necessary to study chiropractic medicine. Having benefitted from a visit to a chiropractor himself, Dr. Silverstein returned to academics and completed a Doctor of Chiropractic in 1976.
From this point, Dr. Silverstein became a faculty member at Palmer College of Chiropractic, following his hirer's advice. Over the next 27 years at the institution, he held positions ranging from professor to registrar, faculty marshal to chairman of the physiology and chemistry department. In these roles, he used his knowledge to help the college develop its goals and further the education of its students.
Later, Dr. Silverstein transitioned to serve as a laboratory supervisor at Perimeter College at Georgia State, refocusing on chemistry. Here, he ensured that all chemistry laboratories were properly prepared and their classes ran well.
A Focus on Volunteering
Dr. Silverstein continues to attribute his life's successes to his supportive relationship with his wife and hopes to help others achieve their goals in the same way. After his retirement, he has worked to help others learn through volunteering efforts.
While Dr. Silverstein plans to wait for some time before returning to his volunteering work, he feels it is important for him to continue helping people. He has already served as a volunteer for The Children's Museum of Indianapolis for several years and volunteered at the Georgia Perimeter College's Science Olympiad for over 15 years. Additionally, he has retained membership with the American Chemical Society for more than five decades.
Plans for the Future
Moving forward, Dr. Silverstein hopes to become more active in the local American Chemical Society. Furthermore, he plans to continue in his volunteering efforts, supporting others as his wife did for him. Aside from his own ambitions, Dr. Silverstein looks to the future of his children, one of whom is a clinical pharmacist at Butler University and while the other serves as a physicist and faculty member at Stockholm University.
