Our students left for spring break early in March, just as all of us began to sense that our world was about to change as we’d never experienced before. There was and is no road map for this unprecedented situation. For the faculty and staff, the week of spring break was suddenly filled with meetings […]
Read MoreThe Irving S. Sigal Postdoctoral Fellowship (Sigal Fellowship) of the American Chemical Society (ACS) is a two-year postdoctoral fellowship awarded every two years to a Ph.D. candidate who will pursue research at the chemistry and biology interface. Candidates are nominated by chairs of Ph.D.-granting Chemistry Departments in the United States. Individuals are not able to […]
Read MoreMapping the Kinetic Landscape of Biomolecular Processes Understanding biomolecular processes at the molecular level, which is often the goal of biophysical studies, requires bridging many time- and length scales. While computer simulations can now routinely capture the motion of most biomolecules for microseconds, biological processes typically occur on a millisecond or longer time scales. Moreover, […]
Read MoreAs Professor Frey made her way through her own chemistry education, she realized that although her male mentors were very supportive of her pursuing a career as a chemist, they didn’t understand how her parenting duties were much different from theirs. They didn’t have to worry about their kids as much, buy groceries, and either […]
Read MoreStudent success has a lot to do with effective teaching and departmental policies that empower students of diverse backgrounds to discover and reach their full potential. iGen (people born after 1995) is the most diverse generation to enter higher education in our nation’s history, and so it is vital for educators to understand how students […]
