Around the world, women lack schooling,  are forced into marriages as young girls, endure genital mutilation and face systematic rape and butchery in places like the Congo. This mistreatment of

Molecules Meet Materials Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Posted by: nicolacs / January 17, 2023 January 17, 2023 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 on surfaces. The site will train students to use spectroscopy, electron

Then, Anderson encouraged her friends to take pictures with paper signs, finishing the phrase “Will ____ Be Next?” And the campaign was born. “We just did it,” Anderson said. “We took a couple pictures and it was not very well planned, because we didn’t think it would go very big.” Anderson and others use social media and public rallies to spread the

DLS also works to improve the rapid and accurate detection of chemical threat agents, radiologic threat agents, and selected toxins.  Collaborating with a multidisciplinary team, the selected participant will use state-of-the-art laboratory equipment to address topics relevant to public health.  This will allow the participant to gain hands-on experience in applied analytical chemistry and enhance their knowledge of its applications
