That's a wrap on our BMB, ChE and Chemistry visit weekend poster sessions! Rain or shine, wind or calm, shout out to our grad students and prospective students for keeping up the enthusiastic research discussions.

In fall 2023, CCE grad student Krista Dong was named the inaugural Bob and Helen Grubbs Fellow. In the Nelson Lab, Dong investigates the reactivity of vinyl carbocations.

The endowed fund supports one grad student or postdoc in chemistry each year.

Happy International Women's Day from third floor Schlinger! Sarah Reisman Stoltz Group Caltech Chemistry & Chemical Engineering

Happy International Women's Day👩‍🔬!

On International Women’s Day, join us in celebrating our incredible faculty for their contributions to CCE and the field of chemistry and chemical engineering!

You’ve made #STEM a more inclusive place for all scientists. #IWD2024 👩‍🔬

A big congratulations to Professor Clemons (Clemons Lab @Caltech), who has been awarded the The Shirley M. Malcom Prize for Excellence in Mentoring! The award honors a professor 'who, through mentoring, supports the achievement and well-being of students.'

Caltech's Diversity in Chemistry Initiative Hosts Day of Inclusion - caltech.edu caltech.edu/about/news/cal…

With the winter term well underway and gathering momentum, we wanted to share some exciting updates from our division. Check out our latest newsletter to read about new research, student news, DEI in CCE and more! ⬇

Scientists have engineered an enzyme that can break man-made bonds between silicon and carbon that exist in widely used chemicals known as siloxanes, or silicones. The discovery is a first step toward rendering the chemicals biodegradable.

This tells you more about how and why we want to break carbon-silicon bonds. caltech.edu/about/news/tea…

We are thrilled to present a new #enzyme to the world, the first shown to break the man-made carbon-silicon bonds in #siloxanes , which are persistent in the environment.

When you win the division's Day of Inclusion raffle 💀🤣! Y'all I'm SCREAMING (literally)

✅ Inaugural Day of Inclusion

After the keynote presentations, attendees were encouraged to engage in dialogue about DEI through workshops, discussions, and presentations from various Caltech offices.

The day ended with a dinner and raffle giveaway!

Join us in congratulating Shu-ou Shan of Caltech, winner of the 2024 NAS Award in Molecular Biology for her novel research on molecular mechanisms underlying critical cellular processes. Read about her important work: bit.ly/molecular-biol… #NASaward #MolecularBiology

Had an amazing time at CalTech the past few days. It was awesome to share the stage with my postdoc advisor, Richmond Sarpong, and such an honor to be invited by Caltech DICI to speak at their first Day of Inclusion.

Congratulations to Professor Shu-ou Shan Caltech / CaltechCCE winner of the 2024 National Academy of Sciences Award in Molecular Biology, for her novel research on molecular mechanisms underlying critical cellular processes! #NASaward #MolecularBiology

In a paper appearing in the journal Science, Professor Karthish Manthiram 's lab (@ManthiramLab) describes the development of a catalyst for producing a widely used chemical feedstock without the toxic and dangerous chemicals normally required for its production.
