Chemistry at the State Fair!
Once again, on STEM day at the state fair, we taught everyone how cool chemistry is! From learning about ocean acidification to making a hidden message (or some slime!) everyone had a good time. Thanks to Market Science (https://marketsci.org/) for helping us spread our love of chemistry!
Publication Number 5!
Congrats to Angela, Cristian and Ryan B. on being accepted to Org. Lett! All of that effort paid off, so let's celebrate!
Amy Ott and Angela Carlson Won Awards!
The Topczewski lab is doing awesome! Two of our members, Amy Ott and Angela Carlson, were recognized at the first departmental seminar. Amy was one of the recipients of a third year Excellence in Graduate Studies Fellowship (the Wayland Noland Fellowship in particular), and Angela was honored for obtaining a 4.0 GPA last year. Wow! Looks like their hard work is paying off (figuratively and literally)!
Congrats again!

Back to Midtown Farmer's Market for another Market Science Session!
On Saturday, the Topczewski lab once again showed the Midtown Market that chemistry is fun and interesting! Despite the wind, almost 100 people came to learn about ocean acidification, precipitation reactions, catalysis, and how to make slime!
OUR FIRST PAPER!
Yay! Our first paper is now online (http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ejoc.201600856/full). Congratulations to Angela, Vicky and Pratik!
