Molecules Meet Materials (M3) REU Site The Molecules Meet Materials REU site at the University of South Dakota will support the training of 10 students for 10 weeks during summers 2022-2024. In this program, participants pursue collaborative research projects, with a focus on chemistry at interfaces in which molecular processes occur… January 23, 2024

Paid Biotechnology Internship with RAIN Incubator RAIN is presently recruiting interns for our Spring 2024 program. www.rainincubator.org/intern RAIN is a biotechnology incubator located in downtown Tacoma, WA. It’s primarily set up for molecular and cellular biology research, although there is limited space for chemistry work. We are currently incubating two young… January 23, 2024 Opportunity Blog

253.538.6393 www.plu.edu/chemistry/ chair@chem.plu.edu Andrea Munro, Ph.D., Chair Chemistry involves the study of matter at the atomic and molecular level. Concepts and tools of chemistry are used to study the composition, structure, reactivity, and energy changes of materials in the world around us. At PLU, students will find a chemistry program that supports their interests, whether in the chemistry of natural products, forensics, the environment, biological systems, polymers, or inorganic

students sometimes worry that their families don’t understand what they’re doing at college. “That was my experience,” said Ellard-Ivey, who attended University College Dublin for her bachelor’s and master’s degrees in botany and earned a Ph.D. in molecular biology at the University of British Columbia. One experience she doesn’t have in common with her American students is their financial struggles. Ellard-Ivey lived at home while she attended college in Dublin with a government grant that paid for

copolymer structures synthesized develop nanometer morphologies potentially allowing these materials to improve performance and safety in lithium ion batteries. The nano-morphology of these materials will be studied as a function of block molecular weight allowing lamellar, cylinder, sphere, and gyroid morphologies to be produced on a sub 100 nanometer length scale. In addition, the influence of the nano-morphology on ionic motion will be investigated. One block in the material will allow for both
