As usual, our research labs were bustling with activity and students this summer. Undergraduates from various majors - and even a few high school students - worked as analytical chemists, synthetic chemists, biochemists, engineers, and even computer programmers in the labs of Professors Kasey Clear, Grace Muna, and Shahir Rizk. The unusual bit was that research in our department seemed to be all over the news this summer on WSBT (channel 22). First there was a Hometown Living interview with Professor Shahir Rizk and then there was a two-part series as part of Operation Education. The latter featured Biological Sciences major Elizabeth Hayes and Biochemistry major Alissa Sonnenberg talking about their research and goals. Sonnenberg is pictured above in a still shot captured from the second video link of the WSBT broadcast. Please check out and share these three exciting, informative, and short news items using the links below.
