If collaborating with a U.N. agency seems unexpected for a chemistry major, for Jackie, it’s been a natural outcome from the innovative interdisciplinary approach of PLU’s International Honors Program (IHON). Through IHON, Jackie originally traveled to Oxford in

In fact, one study shows that the more television voters watch, the more misinformed and confused they become. In her multi-media

  • to control the aspect ratios of ZnSe/ZnS nanorods by isolating and determining the intermediate species of the reaction and then adjusting the synthetic procedure. The synthesis is done by reacting zinc acetate with oleylamine, dodecanethiol, and selenium powder and then heating the flask to varying temperatures for three minutes. FTIR, NMR, UV-Vis absorption, and GCMS spectra were obtained. ICP-MS analysis was performed to quantify the Zn:Se ratio. “Magic-sized” nanocrystals form at temperatures
