Group news, 2020 and prior
Faculty member creates website, uses stock photos
Gary Meints, Associate Professor of Chemistry at Missouri State University, has at long last created a professional website! And in his creative wisdom, he has used...[drum roll]... pre-generated stock photos from the hosting company!
Group awarded Dreyfus Lectureship!
We were awarded one of the 2020 Jean Dreyfus Lectureships from the Camille and Henry Dreyfus Foundation! This funds a symposium to invite a renowned scientist to present a lecture series locally. Prof. James Stivers from Johns Hopkins University has kindly accepted and, pandemic permitting, will visit in the fall of 2021. Quite an honor for our small program!
